2025 was a year of highs and bumps, of romanticising life and learning from the stumbles, but one thing is certain: it was unforgettable. I discovered a little more about myself and started staying grounded in my ways and the work I love.
For the podcast, we published 51 episodes, crossed 100k listens, and through it all, YOU were here, standing by and supporting every step. I am deeply grateful.
May 2026 be a year of growth ...
There’s been a lot of conversation online about insecurity in Nigeria, with some people framing it as a Christian genocide or a Muslims-versus-Christians issue. While there’s no denying that insecurity is completely out of control, I don’t think it’s honest to reduce something this complex to a religious war.
On this episode of random musings, I talk about why, as a Muslim, I refuse to carry shame for so-called “Islamic” terrorists ...
On this episode of random musings, I talk about the Danish deception story that was all over TikTok. I kept seeing people confidently say things like, “I could never be scammed” or “that would never happen to me,” and it got me thinking.
The truth is, scams are not one-size-fits-all. Just because one type wouldn’t work on you doesn’t mean another one couldn’t.
And most importantly, shaming victims who have to come to share their pa...
Another round trip around the sun has been completed, and my favourite day of the year is finally here. #Year32 was a season of unlearning, shedding, breaking old patterns, and quietly rebuilding myself from the inside out. It pushed me to release identities that no longer fit and return to the One who has always carried me — the Creator who writes the script long before I step into the scene.
#Year32 taught me that joy is somet...
Adulting can feel overwhelming sometimes, but lately I’ve been reflecting on the little joys that come with it, too. In this episode of Random Musings, I share some of the upsides I’ve noticed, such as the communities we get to build, the autonomy to make our own choices, and the freedom to spend our money the way we want.
What about you? Have you discovered any good sides to adulting? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Share them with...
In this episode of Random Musings, I discuss how harsh people can be towards oversharers and why that judgment often overlooks the bigger picture.
If you’ve ever shared a little too much and then felt regret afterwards, this one is for you.
I share practical tips to help oversharers protect themselves, set healthy boundaries, and express openly without carrying the weight of embarrassment later.
In this episode of random musings, I go on a bit of a rant about negativity because some people seem hooked on it. Everything they see, they twist into something bad. That is not a healthy way to live. I share why staying stuck in that mindset does more harm than good and why it is so important to flip the script, shift your perspective, and choose a better way to see life.
Not So Terrible People by Nana Sule is a book that blends everyday human struggles with the mystical. I loved how she crafted celestial creatures like the devil and jinns with such human-like features, making the stories feel both familiar and otherworldly at the same time. Do listen to my thoughts on it and why I think you should read it, too.

Nobody is an overnight success...
June was a lot, and in true Random Musings fashion, I’m here to talk all about it.
From starting a brand new role as a Customer Success Manager (oh yes, Raffy is a woman in tech now 👩🏾💻), to attending a podcast narrative storytelling workshop by Culture Custodian that filled me with new creative energy, June had me spinning, in the best way possible.
But that’s not all.
I also got the honour of hosting my best friend’s wedding, wh...
Make ir exist...Before you make it perfect...
For this episode, I talk about my lifelong fascination with the art of movies. From the Nollywood movies that sparked my interest to the new ones that I still love now.
Even though the joy I once felt has shifted, my admiration for the intricate artistry behind every film remains strong. From the compelling performances of actors to the genius of editors, sound designers, and lighting experts, I appreciate how their efforts come t...
Don't let your emotions rule you. ..
For this episode of Random Musings, I reflect on three powerful qualities that define Nigerians—resilience, creativity, and the ability not to sweat the small stuff. These traits have helped us thrive in challenging environments, making us resourceful, adaptable, and forward-thinking. Yet, in certain moments, they can also be a double-edged sword.
How does our resilience sometimes lead to unnecessary endurance? Does our creativity s...
Never doubt your place...
In this short but heartfelt episode of random musings, I marvel at the breathtaking artistry of Almighty Allah, the greatest designer. From the graceful flight of birds to the serene glow of the moon, the twinkling stars, and the lush green grass beneath our feet, every detail of nature speaks to His perfection.

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
