  • QUIZ: Take This Quiz, and We’ll Give You Financial Advice

  • The Ultimate Guide to Living the Soft Life as a Gen Z

    If you’re a Gen Z, premium enjoyment is most likely your first, second, and third priority. Apart from that, nothing else really concerns you. So, here’s everything you need to truly settle into that soft life. 

    First, you need to have zero tolerance for stress

    If you think you can still manage with a little inconvenience here or there, then you’re not ready yet. You’re still catching feelings for the struggle life. But if you don’t like a single bit of stress, then here’s what you need to do.

    Have money

    You can’t be saying no to stress without having plenty of money to speak for you. If you want to taste the soft life while broke, you will see pepper.

    Or have rich parents

    Your life will be even easier if your parents are wealthy. But you still need  to have your own money because they might not approve of the extent of your enjoyment.

    Have a second passport

    You need to stay guided with your second passport, preferably from a country that uses +44 or +91. Because Nigeria will stress you so much, you’ll need to take trips to cool your head off.

    Have constant light

    “Up NEPA” cannot be your portion if you’re planning to enjoy yourself as a Gen Z. If you don’t have light for at least 20 hours a day, how exactly is your life soft?

    Your drip needs to scream “luxury”

    You need to make a statement with your dress. You can’t be planning for enjoyment and wearing clothes that’ll make your estate security stop you at the gate . Your wardrobe needs to fall in line with your plans.

    Make sure to add a pair of crocs

    You can trust me because I’m Gen Z. This is the maggi that brings together the school uniform for Gen Zs that are enjoying the soft life. Will you start wearing it everywhere you go and look like a homeless person sometimes? Yes. Will it be worth it? Also yes.

    Try out new restaurants every weekend

    A bit of ambience and variety are what you’re going for here. You can sample a Chinese restaurant this week and visit a roadside buka the next weekend, just to confuse your enemies.

    Make your Instagram lit

    Document the life of leisure that you’re living with full doses of inspirational captions: Iskelebetiolebebebee — nobody knows what it means, but it gets the people going.

     The intensity of your enjoyment needs to be felt everywhere please, both offline and online.

    Have fast internet 

    We don’t need to say much about this one. You know half of your life is going to be on the internet, so don’t make the mistake of having a slow internet connection because your life will be hard for no reason. Pick a good service provider and save yourself any stress.

    Use Paga to handle your money

    You need to use Paga because you’re not a maga, and you can’t have your money giving you an attitude when you’re trying to spend it. If fast payments, better cards experience and total freedom with your money sound good to you, then you definitely want to use it to handle your money. Start your journey here.

  • 10 Nigerian Things You Stop Tolerating Once You Have Money

    Listen, no one is humble. We’re just afflicted by a sapandemic, with fake humility being the major side-effect. 

    Want to know your real self? Just have money and see if you won’t stop tolerating these things.

    Nigeria

    If the Nigerian government or fellow Nigerian youth start doing anyhow, you can just decide to go on a six-month vacation to the Bahamas. 

    Generator noise

    We’ve not been to Banana Island, but we’re very sure the people there aren’t serenaded by the sound of “I better pass my neighbour” generators.

    NEPA/PHCN

    No one will ever catch you shouting, “Up NEPA” again. Those days are behind you.

    Danfo buses

    No more jumping buses and doing advanced calculus with bus conductors.

    Rude buka servers

    Yes, rudeness is the secret ingredient that makes the amala delicious, but at least you can get it delivered to your home and bypass the rudeness.

    Employers

    Why work when you can even buy your office? Sure, your money may finish, but that’s not the point.

    People who say “Basmatic” rice

    Do we even need to explain why you shouldn’t tolerate them? Don’t move with people who’ll draw you back, please.

    People, in general

    Because it’s your world, and every other person is just living in it.

    Internet problems

    If your telecoms provider decides to move mad, you can just travel abroad to use their Wi-Fi for a day. Or you can build your own telecoms company.

    ATM queues

    Gone are the days of “amatyourback” ATM lines where you’d spend hours, only for it to get to your turn and your bank suddenly decides to divorce network.
