Alright, without further ado, let's jump into episode 1: Nigerian Drinks.
Choice 1: Grand Malt VS Beta Malt.
You will find both at every wedding, birthday, church event, local kiosk, supermarket, mall. Wherever they sell drinks, there Grand and Beta Malt are.
So the question becomes: which one reigns supreme?
Choice 2: La Casera VS Smoov
La Casera has been around for a long time now, but Smoov Chapman is the new kid on the block.
Which would you rather, the still as fresh La Casera or the new cool, Smoov.
Choice 3: 7UP VS Sprite.
This is a battle as old as time at this point. They are both clear. Both come in green bottles. Both fizzy.
But which one reigns supreme?
Choice 4: Fanta VS Mirinda
They're both Orange-flavored. Both orange color. Both come in orange packaging.
Yet both are not the same. One still reigns supreme.
Which is it?
Choice 5: Amstel Malta VS Malta Guiness
If there is no shortage of one thing in Nigeria, it's malt. In addition to the options in number 1, there are also these two equally as refreshing Malt beverages: Malta Guiness and Amstel Malta.
Both rich in taste. Both creamy.
But which one reigns supreme?
Choice 6: Coca-Cola VS Pepsi
Don't act surprised, you definitely knew it was coming!
These two drinks are classic. Both dark. Both refreshing.
But which one reigns supreme?
Choice 7: Schweppes VS Mountain Dew
It's a hot day, both are available in the fridge chilled and ready to go.
Which one are you picking?
Choice 8: Ribena VS Capri Sonne
Finally, to wrap up the list, we have to throw it back to two Nigerian classics.
The sweet Blackcurranty taste of Ribena, or the orange goodness of Capri-Sonne.
Which one reigns supreme?
THAT'S ALL!
You've voted. You've seen the results. You now know which one reigns supreme. Is it your choice? Are you shocked by the outcome?
Well then get your friends to come and vote. Get your family members, your church members. Share it on your Facebook and Whatsapp and Twitter and everywhere. Let's keep the fun going. It's a fun conversation at the least isn't it?

making space
Since the only thing that might pull us back up is caring, it only makes sense that here, long after I’ve let my anger born of heartbreak and grief misplace, multiply, misdirect itself, let the enormity of my solitude turn into something I don’t know how to dispute with, something thick and heavy and suffocating, let the coldness thrash and fight under my skin, deeper still, in between the arches of my organs; here where the ground is always close and the fall is easy and I surrender to it often, lie without purpose for hours, it only makes sense that it is here, I decide to show up and surrender to the possibilities of the night. Show up to those who I deserted. Drawn to the sense of accomplishment, something I haven’t felt in a while, to memory of finished dish sending its aroma into the world and with it, wrapping the room with a strong sense of sweet nostalgia, I get up and decide to cook. I pick up my phone, type a message that reads “Dinner at mine @ 8PM, don’t bring anything” and before my courage deserts me again, drop it in our friends’ group chat, the way one would do when diffusing a bomb in the movies: one eye closed, snip at the wire, hoping for the best.
