Obviously, we’re all living different realities in this Nigeria.
While everyone and their daddy are looking for ways to earn more, someone came on X to contemplate leaving a ₦700k job for a ₦500k one because it wasn’t tasking enough.
Have they seen the state of the economy?
If like them, you’re looking for things to do to task your brain and get it up and running, we’ve made a list for you.
Have sex
Think about it, your brain isn’t off when you’re engaging in coitus. It’s actually an active participant figuring out what feels right and what makes you want to punch your partner in the throat.
Build your vocabulary
Channel your inner Akeelah and go back to learning new words. You can pick up a dictionary, download an app, or sit under Patrick Obahiagboh’s tutelage, as long as your vocabulary makes people think you’re an AI every time you speak.
Learn a new language
Listen to your family members speak your native language and actively try to learn it, or download Duolingo and learn how to speak a foreign language. All the listening and translating you’ll be doing will be enough work for your brain.
Argue on Genevieve’s internet
There’s nothing more stimulating than arguing with random ass strangers on Elon Musk’s internet. The people you argue with might not be the brightest, but best believe all that back and forth will get your brain juices flowing,
Join a debate club
After all that arguing on the internet, it’s time to take your skills to the real world and join a debate club so you can argue with like-minded people.
Play sudoku
We don’t think there’s a game that’ll put your brain to work better than sudoku. If you’re looking for a game to challenge your brain and improve cognitive function, try sudoku.

Cheat on your partner
We’re not trying to tear apart what your love has put together. We’re just saying all the hiding, lying, and sneaking around you’ll do when you cheat on the love of your life will give your brain a boner and have it working in overdrive.
Take a course
There are free courses all over the internet that you can take to learn more and put your brain to use. If you don’t want to take one of the online courses, intern under a Nigerian politician and learn how greed truly works.
Complete a jigsaw puzzle
According to a 2018 study, puzzles activate many cognitive functions and protect against the effects of brain aging. What we’re trying to say is, walk into a shop, buy a jigsaw puzzle, and complete it if you really want to stimulate your brain.
Play cards
Solitaire, poker, you can even take out your Whot cards and play jackpot or school. All the tension and overthinking from these games will put your brain in overdrive.
Dance
Dancing isn’t a mindless activity. Remembering all the steps and trying to recreate them is all hard work. It’s hard work that you need your brain for, so take a dance class or go to the club. Your brain will thank you for it.
Play chess
Put on your Tunde Onakoya fila, get a chessboard, and start playing. Thinking about the next moves and remembering the names of all the pieces and how they move will definitely put your brain to work.
