Although some people prefer their sufferhead in the abroad.
This Naija guy chose obodo sufferhead and now, it appears he’s tired of it all.
Below is a skit by comedienne Maraji, showing an argument between a Nigerian man and his British wife, and it perfectly describes everything we feel about adulting.
If you could totally relate to this video, and you’re absolutely done with adulting, then this next post is for you:
