The human condition, at its most vulnerable, is one of the most mind-altering aspects of life. As I am writing this, my first attempt at writing anything of note since the turn of the year, I am thinking about my friend who is suffering from a really uncomfortable pile – the seemingly easy process of defecating becomes painful and heartbreaking. I listen to him give me a breakdown of how much work he puts in to ensure that his next excrement is soft to make the process less painful.

Tega Ethan is one of the most exciting and talented musical acts coming out of Nigeria’s music scene. His music, a combination of delicious poetry, heart-strumming sounds, and some heartbreaking lyrics, is a different offering from the usual fast and upbeat sound that is the widely travelled and accepted Afrobeats.
