TikTok has been reinstated on Apple and Google’s app stores, nearly a month after being removed due to a new security law. AFP journalists confirmed the app’s return on Thursday, February 13. The Chinese-owned video-sharing platform had been removed from the app stores on January 18, sparking outrage among millions of users. The removal followed national security concerns in the United States, where authorities feared that the app could be used by the Chinese government to collect data on American users or manipulate US public opinion.

It was the end of January 2023, and I was in desperate need of a phone charger. I popped into a nearby tailoring shop, hoping to find a plug to revive my dying battery. Little did I know, that chance visit would change my life forever. As I waited for my phone to charge, I noticed a handsome young man chatting with the tailor. I later learned that he was the tailor’s cousin and had stopped by to catch up. We exchanged pleasantries, and before I knew it, we were deep in conversation. As we talked, I discovered that we…

“Love wasn’t something we planned; it was something that happened, naturally, effortlessly, beautifully.” – Ismaeel ALEEM. Inioluwa and I met during our undergrad days at the Federal University of Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), two fresh-faced newbies stepping out of our parents’ shadows, eager to embrace campus life. Looking back, I’d say fate played its cards that night. We were both stuck on campus, braving the cold while waiting for our medical registration the next morning. At first, I hesitated, my heart thumping like a faulty generator. Talking to a girl at close range? Definitely out of my comfort zone. But I mustered…

“From the moment we met, there was an unexplainable connection” Love, they say, is written in the stars, but sometimes, it unfolds in the quiet corners of everyday life. For me, it began in 1988, fresh out of secondary school, when I moved to Ado-Ekiti—unaware that destiny was about to introduce me to my greatest love, Temitope. From the moment we met, there was an unexplainable connection. He was a brilliant and ambitious student at Obafemi Awolowo University, and I was preparing for my JAMB examination. With a heart full of kindness and an intellect that inspired me, Temitope offered…

“I may have lost my first love, but I found something far more important—my worth” – Boluwatife Adedokun  Love has a way of creeping into our lives when we least expect it. It starts with butterflies, whispered conversations, and hopeful dreams. But sometimes, it also comes with heartbreak, disappointment, and painful lessons. This is my story—a journey of first love, betrayal, and ultimately, self-discovery. How It All Began I had always believed that dating and schooling didn’t mix. My focus was on my education, and I had no interest in distractions. That was my belief, until 2018, when I met…

“He accepted me, not for who I was, but for who I had become. He showed me that love was not about pain but about healing.” Love stories don’t always begin the way we expect. Some are full of joy, some take us through pain, and others bring us back to where we were always meant to be. This is my story—a story of first love, betrayal, heartbreak, and ultimately redemption. Let me take you back to the moment I first stepped into the world of dating. I was both excited and nervous, unsure of what to expect. It all…

“By 400 level, still single, I gave up. No one else had ever loved me like Adewale did.” – The pain of waiting for a love that never returned. It was late 2018, and the year was wrapping up when I received the best news of my life—I had finally gained admission into my dream university! Excited beyond words, I packed my bags and left Lagos for Ondo, eager to start this new chapter. Determined to be a serious student and make my parents proud, I embraced the life of night reading at Intercontinental Hall, a lecture hall that always…
