Part 2 Imade could still remember the exact moment she told Itohan she was pregnant. They were sitting on Imade’s couch, sipping tea, when she placed a hand on her stomach and said, “I.T, I have news.” Itohan’s eyes widened, and for a split second, Imade caught something unreadable in them, something fleeting. But before she could make sense of it, Itohan’s face lit up. “Oh my God! Imade, that’s amazing!” she gasped, pulling Imade into a tight hug. “I’m so happy for you!” And for a while, it seemed like she truly was. Itohan threw herself into preparations with enthusiasm. She helped plan the baby shower, picked out tiny clothes with Imade, and spent hours browsing nursery décor. She was there for every milestone, helping assemble the crib, testing out stroller options, even reassuring Imade when she worried about motherhood. But then, almost imperceptibly, something changed. At first, it was little things; missed calls, postponed coffee dates. Itohan started making excuses, claiming she was “busy” or “just exhausted.” She still smiled, still asked about the baby, but there was a distance in her eyes that hadn’t been there before. Imade tried not to dwell on it. Maybe she really is just tired, she told herself. Work must be overwhelming. But the distance only grew. By the time Dominion was born, Itohan was nearly a ghost in Imade’s life. She visited once - bringing a soft blue onesie and a stuffed bear - but she stayed only briefly, her hugs more hesitant, her joy less radiant. Then, just weeks later, she vanished completely. Calls went unanswered, texts ignored. When Imade finally drove to Itohan’s house, heart pounding with anxiety, she found the curtains drawn, the garden overgrown, and a For Sale sign planted in the lawn. Itohan was gone. Imade never got an explanation. No letter, no goodbye, just silence. For years, she carried the weight of that loss, trying to make sense of it. She replayed every conversation, every memory, searching for answers she would never find. And now, after all this time, Itohan was back. |
Part 1 Imade woke with a start. Something felt… off. It took her a moment to realize what it was. Silence. No tiny footsteps pounding down the hall, no toys clattering to the floor, no enthusiastic “Mom! Mom! Are you awake?” from her six-year-old son, Dominion. She turned her head slightly. Pablo was still asleep beside her, breathing deeply. She considered waking him but decided against it. If Dominion wasn’t causing chaos, she wouldn’t break the peace just yet. Carefully, she got out of bed and padded down the hall. She peeked into Dominion’s room, half-expecting an empty bed. But there he was curled up, sleeping soundly, mouth slightly open, lost in dreams. Imade smiled to herself and quietly closed the door. A rare morning of quiet? She wouldn’t waste it. In the kitchen, she made herself a cup of coffee and stepped onto the small porch. The crisp morning air carried the faint hum of a waking neighborhood: a jogger passing by, birds chirping, the distant murmur of a car engine. She took a sip of coffee, savoring the solitude. But her moment didn’t last long. “Morning, Imade,” Esther’s voice broke the quiet, tinged with excitement. Imade looked over and smiled. “Morning, Esther. You’re up early.” Esther waved a dismissive hand. “Couldn’t sleep. But you’ll never guess who I saw at The Willow Café just now.” Imade raised an eyebrow. “Who?” Leaning in as if sharing a secret, Esther whispered, “Itohan. Itohan Carter.” The name hit Imade like a shockwave, wrapping around her heart like a vice. She blinked, her mind scrambling to process the words. “Itohan?” she echoed, barely above a whisper. Esther nodded enthusiastically. “Yes! Sitting by the window, looking… well, a bit lost in thought. I was about to say hello, but she left before I could.” Imade’s grip tightened around her mug. Warmth seeped into her palms, grounding her swirling emotions. It had been six years since Itohan had vanished without a word, leaving a void Imade had never quite managed to fill. “Did you know she was back in town?” Esther asked, her tone light but probing. Forcing a smile, Imade shook her head. “No, I didn’t.” As Esther bid her farewell and walked away, Imade remained on the porch, her coffee now cold. The serenity of the morning had been replaced with a storm of hope, anxiety, and unresolved hurt. The past, it seemed, wasn’t as distant as she had believed. TBC |

“The EFCC will not relent in bringing every actor involved in the fraudulent dealings to book,” the anti-graft agency said. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has admitted that it wrongly declared Ellie Bitar wanted over the CBEX ponzi scheme. The anti-graft agency, in a statement on Wednesday, made this admission a few days after FIJ first published the story on how Mr Bitar was wrongly declared wanted by the EFCC. “Ellie Bitar of CBEX Solutions Ltd., who was earlier declared wanted, has since been removed from the list owing to new information that does not support his inclusion in the wanted person’s list,” the EFCC said. The anti-graft agency, however, said it has intensified its investigation into the CBEX Ponzi scheme that swindled many Nigerians out of their money. “The Commission is making good progress in its investigations. Law enforcement agencies across the world are collaborating with it in tracking and arresting all the wanted persons. The EFCC will not relent in bringing every actor involved in the fraudulent dealings to book,” the anti-graft agency said. According to the EFCC, eight persons wanted for their involvement in the CBEX ponzi scheme are: Seyi Oloyede, Emmanuel Uko, Adefowora Oluwanisola, Adefowora Abiodun Olanipekun, Johnson Okiroh Ofienolu, Israel Mbalika, Joseph Michiro Kabera, and Serah Michiro. |

A few years ago, I decided to retrain as a neuroscientist. It was a leap into the unknown — no roadmap, just a desire to grow. I chose to approach this time of change with curiosity, and I started a weekly newsletter to document what I learned. Suddenly, my doubts became fuel for discovery. What I didn’t know at the time was that this systematic curiosity was actively reshaping my brain in ways that would build resilience for navigating future changes. Curiosity is often treated as a personality quirk — something childlike and playful, maybe even optional. But neuroscience paints a different picture. When we’re curious, the brain’s dopaminergic system — the same one that lights up when we anticipate a reward — kicks into gear. Simply put, curiosity makes us feel good about the prospect of discovering something new. It also helps us learn more efficiently, enhancing hippocampal activity and boosting our capacity to form and retain new memories. Studies show that when people are curious about a topic, they not only remember the specific information they were interested in but also retain unrelated material better. Perhaps most importantly, curiosity promotes neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to rewire itself in response to new experiences. This makes it an ideal cognitive state for those inevitable moments of change when we need to break established neural patterns and form new connections. Curiosity in times of change Change, by nature, introduces uncertainty. And the human brain typically responds to uncertainty by activating the amygdala, triggering the same stress responses as physical danger. What curiosity does is transform that uncertainty from a threat into an invitation. First, curiosity increases our tolerance for prediction error: the gap between what we expect and what we actually experience. This makes us more flexible in our thinking, less reactive, and better at updating our mental models. There’s also a balancing act happening between two major brain networks: The default mode network (associated with imagination and introspection) and the executive control network (responsible for goal-oriented behavior) often take turns. Curiosity helps synchronize these networks, allowing us to envision possibilities while also taking action — the exact balance needed to navigate change. Emotionally, curiosity can also act as a buffer. When we view an unexpected situation through a curious lens (“what can I learn from this?”), we are less likely to spiral into anxiety or avoidance. This cognitive reframe can dramatically alter how we experience the inherent uncertainty of change. 5 ways to navigate change with curiosity Curiosity isn’t a fixed trait you either have or lack — it’s a cognitive skill that can be developed. Here are five ways to cultivate it, especially during times of change: 1. Ask “what if?” instead of “what now?” Reframe fear-based responses with questions that invite exploration. Instead of “I don’t know how to handle this new role,” try “What if I approached this role as a learning opportunity?” This simple shift activates your prefrontal cortex rather than your amygdala, which will help minimize stress in times of change. 2. Take field notes Pretend that you are an anthropologist studying your own life. Document what surprised you, what you don’t understand yet, or what made you pause during the day. Be specific: “Today I noticed X and wondered why…” This practice builds a curiosity habit and has the added bonus of creating a record of your learning journey. 3. Run tiny experiments Want to switch careers? Interview one new person in the field every week for six weeks. Curious about writing? Start with a weekly newsletter for three months instead of a book. These tiny experiments will provide valuable data while helping you regain a sense of agency even when the path forward is uncertain. 4. Embrace not knowing Practice saying “I don’t know yet” without immediately searching for an answer. Spend time exploring questions without rushing to conclusions. Research suggests that this enhances cognitive flexibility and creative problem-solving — critical neural functions that support adaptation during transitions. 5. Treat failure as data When something doesn’t go as planned, resist labeling it as a failure. Instead, treat unexpected outcomes as valuable information. By viewing setbacks as an inevitable part of growth rather than an indication of personal shortcomings, you can transform potentially discouraging moments into opportunities to learn. It’s important to note that the brain’s capacity for curiosity fluctuates. The amygdala’s activity increases under stress, making curiosity harder to access precisely when it might be most beneficial. That’s why regularly practicing even small shifts in perspective can be helpful to train ourselves to re-engage the prefrontal cortex. We often think of change as something to endure. But change is how we grow. Curiosity activates dopaminergic pathways, strengthens hippocampal function, improves memory formation, and increases prediction error tolerance, which enhances our capacity to navigate uncertainty with greater flexibility and less reactivity.
