Lifestyle Hobbies and your mental health in 2020 I’d like to believe that 2019 was the year that mental health finally became something everyone and anyone could share and talk about. I also understand that it’s not going to be that easy. Staying indoors all day every day during your days off work (or school) may seem relaxing but it is not the […] December 21, 2019February 22, 2022
Podcast In conversation with Halima Attahiru This episode of the Other Expats podcast features Halima Attahiru, from Nigeria, and currently a revenue management/subject matter expert. I think that it is interesting that many other expats in Malaysia don’t associate with locals. Does anyone else think that maybe that could help adjust the perception that Malaysians have of foreigners, maybe? People (mostly) […] October 5, 2019February 22, 2022
Guide Transfer Car Ownership for Expats in Malaysia – Puspakom, JPJ, and Insurance As an expat in Malaysia, you may be looking for more ways to get around without having to rely on the not-so-convenient Grab all the time.

Blogs Top 6 online shopping sites in Malaysia I remember in 2008 after I got my first debit card and I announced to my friends that I was going to buy (or that I already purchased) a pair of sunglasses on the online shopping site, eBay. No one tried to hide their smirks. Responses ranged from “You don dash person money be dat” […] June 10, 2018March 8, 2022
Blogs Who’ll win the Malaysian General election? Choose wisely There’s no discernible indication that the supposedly long-awaited Malaysian General election is almost here. In a few days, on 9 May 2018, Malaysians will be rallying to decide who they want their next leader to be. I say it isn’t noticeable because election season in Nigeria is not something you’ll need to be reminded about. […] May 7, 2018March 8, 2022
Opinion Being Nigerian in Malaysia sucks and some reasons why I totally love it I love that I’m African. If that wasn’t good enough, I’m Nigerian. And Black. But there are some things that are just not so great about being a Black African man from Nigeria living in a foreign country. Some of these things will jump up and attack me anywhere in the world (even at home) […] February 12, 2018March 8, 2022
Podcast What would you do for that date? This episode of Other Expats podcast was an absolute pleasure to make. It was lit. Thanks to Ahlam Ali, Shams Osman and Faithful Anere.

I know of people named Federal […] October 8, 2017March 8, 2022
