We love these people. We celebrate these people. But does saying we appreciate them show how far our care extends? When all is said and done, who cares for the carer?

Here are three important archetypes of Nigerian carers, and what people need to do for you if you find yourself in one of these categories. 

Plus, if you鈥檙e looking to care for your carer, here鈥檚 why AXA Mansard insurance is the best way to show that love as wholly as possible.

聽1. The Breadwinner

It鈥檚 no exaggeration to say that we owe a lot to the breadwinner. 

Every paid bill, every meal eaten, every shirt on our backs is thanks to, or was once thanks to, the person willing to set aside money for us.

There is no forward momentum in a Nigerian home without the breadwinner leading the charge. And with the state of the Nigerian economy, they sacrifice far more than many may realise.

If you鈥檙e the type who sets aside money for others before thinking about yourself, if you鈥檙e called the second something needs to be fixed. If you budget your salary for your family before your fulfilment, then this archetype is yours. There is literally no Nigeria without you.

However, the breadwinner needs a little more than thank-yous and praise to keep going. Being told you鈥檙e the best can only go so far. This week, the breadwinner should take the time to ask for help with their own needs. It doesn鈥檛 need to be something big, maybe calling someone they love to help chip in for something they want (and they must absolutely not feel guilty for it)

2. The Firstborn

Parents are fantastic, but a lot of us only turned out half as well as we did because we had an older sibling in our lives.

Who was our first best friend and defender? Who asked for things on our behalf? In some cases, who cleaned and cooked for us while we were free to be children? 

Before they were adults, many firstborns were the third parents, shouldering struggles so their siblings didn鈥檛 have to.

If you would sacrifice anything for your siblings, if you feel mature for your age, if you tackle your brother鈥檚 problems like they鈥檙e your own, or learn the hard way so your sister doesn鈥檛 have to, then you鈥檙e the firstborn, and possibly the most vital member of your family. 

But being the responsible one is tiring, and hearing  鈥測ou鈥檙e so mature鈥� or being blamed for mistakes your younger ones made is exhausting.

 This week, the firstborn should let their younger siblings take their job. Let them solve family drama or carry the stress of sorting out their future on their own head. You deserve, for once, to be the one lying back and not worrying about what comes next.

3. The Medical Professional

It takes a lot to become a doctor: many years of school, several difficult exams, sleepless nights, and busy weekends. Not to mention actually dealing with stressed patients without letting your own stress show.

And for Nigeria鈥檚 medical professionals? It鈥檚 even more difficult: showing up with limited equipment and an even more limited salary, doing overnight shifts, and dealing with the stress of a Nigerian hospital. 

If your job is to take care of other people on their worst days, if you鈥檝e been asked for medical advice even outside your job, if everyone talks to you like you can magically cure all their physical problems, then this archetype is yours. We trust you with our lives, and we鈥檙e grateful that you handle them perfectly.

But gratitude from the people you treat doesn鈥檛 replace self-care. Being the calm one isn鈥檛 the same as being well. This week, the medical professional should take a turn as the patient and make sure they get themselves checked or babied. They deserve it for all the millions they鈥檝e saved.

So, how do we care for the carers?

The Nigerian instinct to look after each other is probably one of the best traits we have as a people. But in receiving care, we have to make sure we give it as well.

Buy someone who you owe your life to food they like, a gift they鈥檝e been hinting at, or, if you want something long-lasting and practical, you can opt for AXA Mansard insurance.

Nothing screams care like insurance that covers every aspect of your life. You want to make someone鈥檚 day brighter? Soften the blow of life鈥檚 issues before they even happen.

AXA cuts across life, non-life, health and asset management, so it makes sure that your carer can move through life confident you鈥檝e got their back from every angle possible. It is the best way to make someone feel loved.

If you鈥檙e interested in giving someone who loves you all that love back, or if you want to protect yourself so they can worry a little less about you, then get started with AXA Mansard today.

Every August, Osogbo comes alive for the Osun-Osogbo Festival, a two-week celebration centred around the Osun Sacred Grove and Osun, the Yoruba deity associated with the river. For generations, devotees, tourists and people from the Yoruba community in Nigeria and the diaspora have gathered for prayers, music, dancing, rituals and the famous procession through the sacred grove.

As the original number one prayer drink, Seaman鈥檚 Schnapps has long had a place in moments where faith and community come together. Over the years, it has remained part of these celebrations while encouraging Nigerians to hold on to the things that make them who they are, even as the ways we express ourselves continue to evolve.

That idea of finding your way back to your roots feels especially relevant today. As the way we connect with our culture changes, there鈥檚 still value in getting back to the basics that ground us. To understand why Osun-Osogbo still means so much today, we have to go back to the beginning. 

It All Started With a Promise

The story behind Osun-Osogbo sounds like a Nollywood fantasy film. According to Yoruba tradition, when early settlers arrived in what is now Osogbo and began clearing the forest to build their home, they encountered Osun. She warned them not to disturb her grove, and both sides reached an agreement: the people would protect and honour the grove, while Osun would protect and bless the community.

That promise became the foundation of what we now know as the Osun-Osogbo Festival. Every year, the community returns to the grove to honour that relationship. Over the years, devotees and community members have kept the tradition alive, passing its stories and practices from one generation to the next.

And this isn鈥檛 just another festival on Nigeria鈥檚 already-packed cultural calendar. The Osun Sacred Grove was declared a UNESCO in 2005, recognising its importance as a surviving centre of Yoruba spirituality and culture.

What makes Osun-Osogbo most interesting is that it hasn鈥檛 been left in the past. Every generation that shows up adds something of its own while keeping the traditions at the centre.

Gen Z Is Finding Its Way Back

For a generation that grew up online, you鈥檇 think old traditions would have a hard time keeping up. Instead, young Nigerians are finding new ways to keep Yoruba culture relevant. 

Music is probably the easiest place to spot this shift. Kayode Oyetoro is mixing with trap, while the growing movement is bringing Yoruba language and sounds into contemporary pop. Even Ayra Starr鈥檚 now has taken Yoruba style to a global audience.

But this isn鈥檛 entirely new. Long before the social media era, the Osun-Osogbo Festival was already bringing music, fashion, art, spirituality and community together in one place. Today, it gives a new generation the chance to experience these traditions directly.

That connection is why celebrations like the Osun-Osogbo festival matter to Seaman’s Schnapps. As Nnenna Uche Onyenacho, Senior Brand Manager at Nigerian Distilleries Limited, puts it, 鈥淥sun-Osogbo is not just a festival. It defines us as a people.鈥� What鈥檚 more is that the brand wants to support the growing interest among young Nigerians in expressing and preserving their roots.

And Seaman鈥檚 isn鈥檛 stopping at Osun-Osogbo. From Ojude Oba to the聽Itsekiri Homecoming and Olojo, the brand is showing up wherever Nigerians are coming together to celebrate who they are. It鈥檚 all part of its 鈥淲elcome Back to Your Roots鈥� message: culture stays alive when every generation finds a reason to embrace it.

It has been proven that nothing good ever happens at 2 A.M. There is something about that time of the morning that lets people make very reckless decisions and that is why we get the most questionable texts then. But before you let boredom influence your responses, we have to let you know the texts that you should absolutely leave on read.聽

1. 鈥淵ou up ?鈥澛�

From the off-and-on situationship, your friends keep telling you to leave?  

Surely, you don鈥檛 need 2+2 to let you know what that text means. For your mental sake, ignore that text and continue with what you were doing. 

2. 鈥淐ome over.鈥澛�

At 2am? 

Interesting (derogatory). 

3. 鈥淲hat are you wearing?鈥澛�

For the plot, you could reply to this one with 鈥業ro and Buba鈥� or just ignore it.

4. 鈥淗ey, stranger.鈥�

From the descendant of the devil who ghosted you since the beginning of the year? 

Why haven鈥檛 you blocked them?

5. 鈥淧romise me you won鈥檛 get mad.鈥�

There is a high chance you鈥檒l get mad, so are you sure you want to start your day with an elevated heart rate? 

6. 鈥淒o you even like me like that?鈥澛�

Do you really want to be doing shalaye at 2 in the morning? 

7. 鈥淐an we talk?鈥澛�

Some conversations aren鈥檛 meant for 2am. Finis. 

8. 鈥淚 miss us.鈥澛�

Do you need us to remind you of the way they broke your heart 3 days to Sunday? 

Go and watch a movie or something. 

9. 鈥淚 think I鈥檓 falling in love with you.鈥�

From a 3-day-old talking stage?

Unless you want to get ghosted again, ignore that text. 

If you now decide to ignore all our advice, at least make sure your choices are protected. As you make bad decisions, avoid making unsafe ones too. promises to have you covered. Always. 

The idea is pretty simple: Nigerians are already recharging airtime and buying data every day. Now, those same everyday actions can turn into joyful, surprise Christmas gifts.

Why Everyone鈥檚 Talking About It

The myMTN NG App Recharge & Win Promo isn鈥檛 a first-time promise. Over the last three editions, real MTN customers across Nigeria have won real rewards, and their stories have become proof that the campaign delivers on its word. This time around, the 4th edition is here with the festive vibe, amplifying the magic of winning and reminding customers that their patronage is always seen and highly appreciated.

For Modupe Ososanya, a student from Lagos State who won N3,000,000 in the 3rd edition, the reward came when it mattered most. 鈥淲inning through the myMTN NG App was a joyful surprise. When I got the call that I had won, I didn鈥檛 initially believe that just doing my regular recharge could bring such luck, until I received my N3,000,000. It felt so unreal because it came in very handy. I was extremely excited鈥�, she shared.

For Adaeze Njeze, a Teacher from Anambra state who also won N3,000,000, she simply couldn鈥檛 hide her excitement. 鈥淚 would have never believed that my airtime purchase would some day pay me back in such a huge way鈥� she said. 鈥淲hen I got the notification that I had won, I honestly thought it was a mistake. That N3,000,000 came at such a perfect time that it felt like a memorable birthday gift. I鈥檒l definitely keep using myMTN NG App because who knows, I might just winner bigger in the next season.鈥�

A Different Kind of Christmas Story

The myMTN NG App Recharge & Win 4.0 isn鈥檛 just about prizes; it鈥檚 about surprise and relief, as each win hopes to be a small Christmas miracle. For many, a small win could mean groceries, transport money, a stress-free holiday or even simply the relief of being seen and rewarded. And the big win? Definitely a life-changing dream come true.

The myMTN NG App Recharge & Win 4.0 runs from 15th December 2025 till 31st January 2026, spreading the Christmas joyful spirit well into the new year.

Christmas has a way of showing up when you least expect it. More often than not, it鈥檚 not wrapped in ribbons or delivered on Christmas morning. Sometimes, it arrives early and quietly, right in the middle of your daily MTN recharge.

It鈥檚 a whole lot, and if you spot these signs, it means your relationship might struggle to endure the complexities of life on the move.

Someone refuses to adjust for time zone differences

In a travel-based LDR, scheduling calls involves making significant shared sacrifices. Is your boo in a time zone seven hours away, and they always expect you to be the one to stay up until 2 a.m. for a quick call?

A good partner shares the inconvenience. If they can鈥檛 lose two hours of sleep to spend time with you, do we really need to tell you there鈥檚 a problem?

You genuinely don鈥檛 know when you鈥檒l see each other again

If you and your partner haven’t discussed a concrete plan, date, and budget for the next time you’ll physically see each other within the next 6-12 months, your relationship is likely running on vibes. 

A small travel change sends them into financial chaos

Travel is all about unexpected changes. A flight can get cancelled, or you urgently need to make an emergency payment in a foreign currency. 

If any of these spontaneous moments sends your partner into panic mode because of the fear of bank fees or getting stranded without access to their money, they鈥檙e probably not equipped for this lifestyle. When your partner is far away, you need them to be financially flexible and prepared. If they are still stressing over basic cross-border payments, they are wasting energy that should be spent on you.

They鈥檙e still paying wild fees for currency exchange

You and your partner are essentially throwing money away if you鈥檙e paying high airport exchange rates and incurring multiple international transaction fees every month.

You can鈥檛 be serious about travel if you are not smart about money. This is where comes in. It鈥檚 the one fintech app that simplifies payments, currency exchange, and secures international transactions, ensuring your money works everywhere, without limitations.聽

Instead of sifting through multiple fintech apps to find one that works with your naira abroad, think of as the only financial passport you need for global travel.聽

Your calls are filled with complaints about travel logistics

If every video call is dominated by complaints about visa woes or payment issues without space for a genuine emotional connection, your romance might be on holiday. Besides, why should you still be dealing with the stress of travel when you can go the Timon way?

The real engine is not physical equipment; it鈥檚 a list of items that not many people will tell you. But we will. 

So here are the five non-negotiable items that every Nigerian creator must possess before they can truly start “cashing out.”

Daily Dose of聽 The Anti-Shame Pill

There are multiple steps to becoming a creator, and each one requires a level of willpower. The biggest blocker? Cringe.  It鈥檚 not easy to put your life in front of the world without feeling some of it.

Here comes some help: the anti-shame pill, a powerful blend of Zero Self-Doubt and 100% Main Character Energy. It allows the creator to look directly into the camera, deliver a take with maximum confidence, and never feel awkward about recording multiple takes of 鈥淧lease like, share and subscribe.鈥�

A Digital Scroll of Sacred Tutorial Videos

This is the hidden playbook. And it鈥檚 simple. You don’t learn from the best; you learn how to perfectly replicate the best until you become the best.

The 100-Page List of Brand Managers聽

Unless you鈥檙e in it for the love of the game 鈥� and let鈥檚 be honest, who is? 鈥� the true goal is alerts. So it鈥檚 fair that part of the starter kit is a directory of every brand, agency, and marketing agency in Nigeria. 

“My reach is unmatched. Let’s discuss a mutually beneficial partnership” is a cold pitch, but what good is it if there鈥檚 nobody to send it to?

The Power Bank of Eternal Validation

Forget a regular power bank; this one charges the soul. It’s the creator’s secret bank of positive comments and DMs. Something like a 24/7 supply of 鈥淚鈥檓 a big fan. You inspire me.鈥�

So whenever a comment section gets negative, the creator plugs into the Eternal Validation bank to survive the next 24 hours.

A Catchy, Potentially Viral Catchphrase

It goes without saying, but the final piece of the puzzle is a catchy catchphrase. What will the fans scream if they run into you on the streets? The name doesn鈥檛 matter; a catchphrase does. 

If you鈥檙e here and you鈥檙e a creator, The AltCreator Program could be your key to unlocking an earning opportunity in your creator journey.

To join the program and become an AltFellow, submit a short video showcasing your

creativity, reach, and interest in the program. Once you鈥檙e in, you鈥檒l act as digital ambassadors for AltBank, creating compelling content and driving awareness and account signups via unique referral codes. The best part? You stand a chance to earn at least 鈧�5000 on every approved AltBank content.

If you鈥檙e Nigerian, a “plug” has definitely been useful to you in at least one of the following situations:

1. The local restaurant server who always serves you generous portions

The transaction is simple. They see you, barely acknowledge you, then get to business. In the end, you leave with a pack of food that feels heavier than it should be. In the end, you leave with a pack of food that feels heavier than it should be. While other customers get the standard measure, your plug makes sure you believe in grace. Knowing the right people >>>

2. The Bureau De Change vendor who gives you the best rates

It鈥檚 a huge flex to have this kind of plug. Until it happens to you, you don’t know how great it feels to save a significant chunk of money on these transactions. You walk past the haggling masses, exchange your funds with a quiet handshake, and feel like you’ve just unlocked a cheat code for the Nigerian economy.

3. The classmate who diligently saves you a seat, no matter the conditions

You know how it goes. You send them a text or make a call, informing them you’re on your way, and they take it from there. You arrive at the packed lecture hall, and a seat 鈥� sometimes even two, for your bag 鈥� is waiting for you

4. The store owner who adds something to your purchase free of charge

It鈥檚 almost like they鈥檙e giving you a loyalty reward for surviving in Nigeria. You leave their stall feeling like you just won the lottery, all because they slipped you two extra seasoning cubes. Maybe that鈥檚 why you go back. 

5. The POS merchant who saves you a trip to the ATM

Don鈥檛 lie, when was the last time you joined a long ATM queue? That’s for suckers, thanks to the trusted POS kiosk on your street. 

Your plug always has cash, doesn’t claim the machine is “offline,” and has a service charge that feels almost reasonable.  A genuine lifesaver.

6. The Mechanic Who Doesn’t Give You An Unexpected, Life-Altering Bill

This plug is your personal saviour. They speak the secret language of your engine, actually diagnose the problem, and give you a quote that doesn’t require you to sell a kidney.

7. The Fuel Attendant Who Actually Sells You Fuel When There’s a Scarcity

While every other station has a chaotic crowd and attendants shaking their heads, your plug sees you, gives you a secret signal, and directs you to a pump they just “saved” for you. They make you feel like you鈥檙e God鈥檚 favourite. 

If you love the idea of plugs, you can be one and make money off it. The AltFellowship Initiative, is your pathway to transform your influence into impact and income.  Whether you鈥檙e a content creator, storyteller, or digital influencer, this program connects you to meaningful earning opportunities for the alternative bank.

Fellows earn points (redeemable for cash rewards) based on qualifying actions such as account openings, participation in community activations, and referrals of new customers or AltFellows.

All of a sudden, the mood changes. Then the thought of monetising the account starts to form. 

But being a creator comes with its set of wins, rules, and struggles. If you鈥檙e on this journey, you鈥檒l definitely be familiar with the following:

1. When you find a monetisation programme that鈥檚 not available to Nigerians 

Is this how I鈥檒l make it out of the trenches? Why show me a treasure I cannot possess?

2. And you also discover that creators abroad earn more in ad revenue

Something something CPM? More like 鈥淐an鈥檛 Pay Me.鈥�

3. When you pitch a collaboration idea to a brand and they offer to pay you

Oh, it鈥檚 this nice here? Why didn鈥檛 anyone tell me earlier?

4. You, making a list of brand managers to pitch

I鈥檒l find you, and I鈥檒l pitch you. Please spend your money on me. 

5. But when they reach out to you first 

You have taste. What can I do for you?

6. You, when a brand that has repeatedly contacted you without closing the conversation, hits you up again 

Hey big head? Bye please. 

7. When you are close to a follower milestone but you start to lose followers

Not your followers becoming your opps. Do better; I need to update my rate card, please.

8. The momentary panic that hits when you lose access to your account

It must be a bad dream. It is a bad dream.

9. You, when you find a monetisation path that just works

I鈥檓 on another level now. Talk nicely to me.

The AltCreator Program, under the AltFellowship Initiative, is your pathway to transform creativity into impact and income. Whether you鈥檙e a content creator, storyteller, or digital influencer, this program connects you to meaningful earning opportunities for the Alternative Bank.

Sometimes, it feels like the tag ISP鈥擨nternet Service Provider 鈥攎eans something else entirely because there鈥檚 no actual 鈥減roviding鈥� going on. 

After a particularly frustrating week, 糖心原创 rounded up Nigeria鈥檚 major ISPs to get to the root of the matter and ask one simple question: Where did our network go?

[糖心原创 arrives at a quaint bistro on the Mainland and spends fifteen minutes trying to pay the Uber driver because, of course, there鈥檚 no network. The driver finally confirms payment, and 糖心原创 walks away, muttering unpleasant words for the unnecessary delay. Ahead, Airtel, MTN and Spectranet are already seated, their flashy colours drawing unwanted attraction. 糖心原创 joins the table and goes straight to business.]

糖心原创: I see Glo and FiberOne are late.

Airtel: [bursts into giggles]

Spectranet: Are you surprised? 

MTN: They love an 鈥淎frican time鈥� arrival.

糖心原创: Is that so?

Airtel: 驰别蝉鈥�

糖心原创:聽 It wasn鈥檛 a question.聽Anyway, we鈥檒l start without them.聽

I鈥檇 say 鈥済ood afternoon,鈥� but there鈥檚 nothing good about this afternoon.

Airtel: Easy tiger. 

糖心原创: You must think I鈥檓 here for jokes, right? It took me twenty minutes to pay my cab fare because none of you were working, and you have the audacity to tell me 鈥渆asy鈥�. Are you鈥� 

Spectranet: Fifteen minutes actually.

(糖心原创 shoots Spectranet a stone-cold look)

糖心原创: Excuse me?

MTN (whispering): Guy, behave!

Spectranet: What? I was counting.

糖心原创: Since you guys are keeping tabs, can y鈥檃ll explain why your networks keep disappearing? Bloody hell! 

MTN: First of all, I don鈥檛 鈥済o off.鈥� I simply select who deserves internet. If you have bad vibes, you buffer. Simple.

Airtel: My users are soft life people. If I ever go off, it鈥檚 because I鈥檓 resting and they understand the importance of rest. All work and no play鈥�

MTN: makes Jack an olodo.

糖心原创 (visibly irritated): Are you guys being for real?

Spectranet: Listen, I don鈥檛 know what they鈥檙e both on about. All I know is, Nigerians don鈥檛 know how to use delicate devices. If you鈥檙e treating your MiFi device like a ball of eba, how will it work? Have you tried putting it on a silk pillow strategically facing the North-West? No, yet you want good internet. SMH. 

糖心原创: You guys are making no sense, and no one has answered the question. Why am I paying ridiculous sums for internet that shows up when it likes?

Unknown: Guys!!!

(All meeting attendants, including 糖心原创, turn a sharp gaze toward the entrance) 

MTN: Who is that one?

Airtel (adjusts antenna): Erm鈥�

Spectranet: Oh, slow with pride. 

Glo [Still shouting]: So you guys started without me?

糖心原创: You arrived late and still want to create a scene. Is this the time we agreed on?

Glo: Hey, it’s better late than never, right?

糖心原创: You honestly should have stayed at home. But now that you are here, can you explain why the network has been slow? I鈥檓 not sure these other ones know what they鈥檙e getting paid for.

MTN: Easy tiger.

糖心原创: If you call me tiger again, I鈥檒l involve the NCC. I have him on speed dial.

Airtel (mutters): It鈥檚 giving military regime.

MTN: I鈥�

糖心原创: Shhhh! Glo, answer the question, please. 

Glo: Well, I can鈥檛 speak for everybody, but last I checked, we still have paying customers. That must mean we鈥檙e getting something right. Yes, the internet may be bad from time to time, but who no dey face challenges for this current Nigeria? 

(MTN, Spectranet and Airtel break into thunderous applause)

糖心原创 (startled): What鈥檚 going on here?

Airtel: I think you can hear him clearly? Everybody is going through it in Nigeria. You should be grateful we鈥檙e even showing up at all.

MTN & Airtel (together): Preach! 

糖心原创: I see what you people are trying to do. But it won鈥檛 work. You collect my hard earned money and want to blame your poor service on Nigeria?

(糖心原创 pulls out phone. Scrolls through contact list and lands on the FCCPC鈥檚 number. But a deafening whirling sound envelopes the place. From a distance, FiberOne and Starlink climb down from a chopper.) 

Spectranet (scoffs): Always the one for drama. Abegii.

MTN: Where did they see money for a chopper?

Airtel: Maybe it鈥檚 from all the money they saved from not giving their customers  network. Rubbish and ingredients鈥�

Glo: If you must hate, at least tell the truth. Their customers enjoy basic service. Above average if my sources are right.

糖心原创: Listen, I鈥檓 not interested in this side talk you people are on about. I want a solution, and if somebody doesn鈥檛 provide one in the next minute, I鈥檓 calling FCCPC. 

(Starlink and FiberOne take their seats, only acknowledging 糖心原创)

糖心原创: So gracious of you people to bless us with your presence. Now that you have arrived, do you know why paying customers cannot enjoy uninterrupted internet?

Starlink (adjusts outfit): Well, I shouldn鈥檛 even be here in the first place. F1 told me the povvos were meeting on the mainland yapping about low quality problems, and I thought to drop by. But since I鈥檓 here and you鈥檝e posed the question, I only have one answer: Anyone with the financial鈥�

Airtel: Ehn! What do you think you want to do? My friend will you keep quiet there!

MTN: Tell him o. Imagine the pompous goat trying to poach our customers.

Glo: Genzs are all the same everywhere. They just want to come and take with no regard for the people before them.

(Spectranet breaks into Sound Sultan鈥檚 Bushmeat. MTN, Glo and Airtel join in)

糖心原创 (sighs): Guys, guys, guys鈥�

(Loud singing continues. Starlink and FiberOne storm out of the building.)

糖心原创 (speaking on phone): Hello, is this the FCCPC?

(On the other side of town, 9Mobile frantically jumps out of bed.)

糖心原创: Wait, I think we forgot to about 9Mobile.

Them: Who???
