Friendship in your 20s feels like a breath of fresh air. Having people who get you , who hold you down, and who remind you that you’re not losing your mind, is honestly priceless. Because let’s be real; your 20s are confusing. Some days it feels like you’re drowning in responsibilities. Other days you’re stumbling through life with no map, no clue, and no Wi-Fi signal to even Google “how to be an adult.” But when you have good friends, the load feels lighter. They don’t have all the answers either, but they’ll sit with you in the chaos and remind you you’re not alone. Sometimes friendship looks like unlimited cocktails on a random Sunday. Sometimes it’s grabbing ice cream after a long day or getting dressed up for a Friday night at the club. Other times, it’s quieter. A sleepover where nobody sleeps, just endless gist, or someone checking in with, “Have you eaten?” These little rituals become lifelines. You start living from hangout to hangout because the world feels a little less heav...

 Let’s be real, building a wardrobe that works for any occasion can feel overwhelming. But here’s the hack: Start with timeless, versatile fashion pieces that never go out of style. These wardrobe staples are the backbone of every stylish closet and will save you money in the long run. Here are 7 must-have wardrobe essentials for both guys and ladies:   • Basic Tops Plain t-shirts , polos , tanks , or neutral blouses are the foundation of endless outfits.

For Grace Fisher, popularly known as Feranmi, baking isn’t just a skill, it’s survival, creativity, and business rolled into one. She runs E.S.S. — Exquisite Sweet Street , and behind every cake box that leaves her hands is a story of resilience, swollen ankles, smudged frosting, and a determination to turn flour into more than dessert. Feranmi has always had that entrepreneurial spark. She laughs when she recalls selling things as far back as primary school. Baking came after secondary school, in 2018. Waiting for admission, she learned to bake, and soon enough, she was selling cakes and chin-chin. What started as a way to pass time quickly grew into a full-time hustle. But don’t be fooled. Running a baking business isn’t sugar, spice, and everything nice. Feranmi admits that it’s exhausting. “Baking is very time-consuming and stressful. Swollen ankles and back pain come with the package,” she says. And that’s not even the hardest part. The real beast is logistics. Working with third-...

Before the hit records, sold-out shows, and braids that moved like main character energy, Adekunle Gold was just Kunle, a soft-spoken creative with a deep love for art, design, and the kind of music that sits in your chest long after it ends. Now a staple name in Nigerian music and one of Afrobeats’ most beloved genre-benders, his story didn’t start with a viral hit or a sudden glow-up. It started slowly. The kind of journey that builds brick by brick with awkward auditions, Photoshop tricks, heartbreak, and a whole lot of believing in yourself before anyone else does.

He joined the church choir as a teenager and started writing music early. He wrote his first song at age 15. In 2008, he chose the name “Gold”, not just because it sounded cool, but because it felt destined. And to be honest, it was. Adekunle Gold isn...
