Good morning, {$name}. 🌞
A quick PSA before we get into today’s stories.
I have some fun news from our friends at TechCabal — you might know them as that other brilliant publication we share the same parent company with. You see, Techcabal is hosting the biggest tech conference in Africa this week, and we’re calling it Moonshot.
Here’s an idea of what will happen at Moonshot: Tech leaders and operators will share insights and celebrate innovation on the continent. It’s also an excellent opportunity to network, meet fellow tech bros or potential employers, share your business with investors, learn, and more.
Because we always have the best deals for you, you can get discounted tickets here. Also, we have something special for you if you’re a student. Moringa is giving out free student tickets so you can attend for FREE.
All you have to do is post on social media and tell us why you’d like to attend the event using the hashtags #MoonshotxMoringa and #MoonshotbyTechCabal.
Now let’s dive into this week’s stories.

#NairaLife: She Enjoys Pretty Privilege, but Thinks It’s Both a Blessing and a Curse
The 24-year-old in this #NairaLife is living well above her means, thanks to pretty privilege. She talks about enjoying benefits due to her looks right from childhood. However, while she’s sure of extra money coming in most of the time, she’s still always broke.
Some other great money articles you should read:
I Feel Like I’m Juggling Two Identities — A Week In The Life Of A Dominatrix
The subject of this “A Week in the Life”, originally published in 2021, is a dominatrix. She talked about juggling two identities, feeling guilty after satisfying her kinks and meeting interesting people.
An excerpt: “Being a domme is intoxicating, but coming down from that space and facing the mundaneness of real-life can be jarring. It’s a whirlwind of negative emotions that can go on for days where I’m in a weird space feeling things intensely.
I sometimes spend the whole day feeling guilty for living out my kinks, mostly because of how strange, “shameless,” and unconventional they are. Other days, I have to tell myself that what I’m doing is okay and I’m not hurting anyone…

Quick one. We want to make this newsletter more valuable for you, and you can tell us how to make this happen. So, can we ask you a few questions? It’ll only be a minute.
Money Meanings
Game: #HowMuchLast
#HowMuchLast is a game where we show you an item and you tell us (and the world) the highest amount you’d pay for it.
Some weeks will be Okin biscuit, some others will be SUVs.
Word on the streets is that computer monitors are a productivity hack – something about the bigger screen. Well, there’s only one way to find out. So, tell me how much you’re willing to pay for one here.
What’s the most you’d pay? Tweet at us here.
Where The Money At?!
We can’t say we’re about the money and not actually help you find the money.
So we’ve compiled a list of job opportunities for you. Make sure you share this with anyone who might need it because in this community, we look out for each other.
Again, don’t mention. We gatchu.
All good things must come to an end. But not this good thing. We’ll be back next week.
In the
meantime, keep reading Zikoko’s articles and be sure to share the love.
Till next week…
Yours cashly,
Toheeb,
Zikoko’s “OG” Mr. Money
