✨ 1,000 Views and a Whole Lot of Love

Hey Nomads 💌

Today, I just want to pause the travel tips, the blog strategies, and the endless hustle for a minute… and just say thank you.

This past week, Naija Nomard hit 1,000 views—and honestly? I’m still wrapping my head around it. Like… from a random idea and vibes to an actual blog with REAL readers? Wahala for who no believe in small beginnings o!

I didn’t expect this. Not this early. And not with this much love. 😭

🥹 Why This Moment Means Everything

I started this blog with faith in one pocket and fear in the other. Would anyone care? Would people read? Would it just end up being another forgotten site on the internet?

But somehow… you came. You read. You shared. You believed.

That 1K number? It’s not just views. It’s:

  • Every friend that said, “Hey, this blog go blow o”

  • Every silent reader that never comments but never misses a post

  • Every stranger that turned into community

  • Every time I almost gave up and your feedback kept me going

You guys? You’re the real MVPs.

🛠️ What’s Next? (Spoiler: It’s About to Get Crazy Good)

Because of you, Naija Nomard is growing—and we’re leveling up together. Here’s what’s loading:

✅ More spicy stories + travel content
✅ Creative collabs and give-aways (stay tuned 👀)

We're not just running a blog anymore—we’re building a full-on movement. One that reflects culture, realness, and mad originality. 💯

🫶🏽 A Note To My Day-Ones (And Newbies)

If you’ve been rocking with me from the jump?
You’re family.

And if you’re new here?
Omo, welcome o! You just joined the coolest circle on the Naija internet.

This is your sign to keep coming back. Keep reading. Keep rooting for me. Because you better believe, I’m rooting for YOU too.

🎯 Here’s How You Can Support The Next Chapter:

💌 From My Heart to Yours

1,000 is just the beginning, and I know we’re going to look back on this one day and smile at how far we’ve come. We move, with gratitude.

Thank you for making this space matter.
Thank you for showing up.
Thank you for being part of my journey.

Here’s to the next 10K. 🥂

With love,
Tiiny aka Naija Nomard

🧠 If Nigerian States Were People in a WhatsApp Group Chat – Vibes Only:

-

  Intro: Imagine all 36 Nigerian states + Abuja chilling in one WhatsApp group in 2025. No admin, no rules, just pure gbas gbos, influencer drama, AI-generated voice notes, and crypto bros trying to “onboard” you by force. 🤯 It’s not just a chat... it’s a chaotic social experiment with digital hustlers, jollof shaming, PDP vs APC banter, and that one person who sends “Good morning fam” at 2am 🙃. This is what happens when Naija states become human beings — Gen Z edition. Let the madness begin! 1. Lagos 📱 Status: “Island Only. Mainland peeps don’t text me.” Voice note dealer. Sends 10MB of traffic noise every morning. Works 5 jobs, still broke. Replies with “Lagos no dey carry last” even when it's not relevant. Spams the GC with “Soft Life” reels… meanwhile, they’re in a danfo. 2. Abuja 📸 Status: “Soft life, soft launch.” Acts like they don’t belong here. Ghosts the GC for weeks, then pops in like, “Hi guys ❤️.” If it’s not brunch or skincare content, Abuja is not inte...

What To Do After a Visa Denial (Without Losing Your Mind)

-
  ✈️ Rejected But Not Defeated Visa denials are tough. After all the time, money, and energy you poured into your application — getting that “No” feels like the door just slammed in your face. But listen, a visa denial is not the end. It’s a delay , not a denial of your dreams. Whether it was for Canada, the US, the UK, Schengen, or even Dubai — this post is your step-by-step guide to bounce back and come back stronger . 🔍 Step 1: Understand " Why" You Were Denied You can't fix what you don't understand. Visa officers usually give a reason code (like 214(b), 9 FAM 302.5, etc.) or a vague sentence. Common reasons include: Lack of strong ties to your home country Insufficient funds Incomplete or incorrect documents Suspicious travel history Purpose of visit not convincing LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment.)

This Wasn’t the Plan – But Omo, We Move

-

  A Reality Check on the Nigerian Dream Timeline Introduction: The Great Naija Promise When we were in secondary school, they gave us a clear-cut blueprint: “Face your books, pass your exams, get into university by 17, graduate by 21, do NYSC, get your dream job, marry by 24, and you’ll be balling by 25.” Omo, we believed it. We didn’t question the system, the structure, or the brokenness. We believed because our parents believed. Our teachers reinforced it. Pastors preached it. Motivational speakers sold it. And society repeated it like a national anthem. But now, here we are — in our mid to late twenties (some even thirties), tired, confused, broke(ish), and constantly asking ourselves: “Wait… was this not supposed to be easier?” This wasn’t the plan. But omo… we move. That ‘Perfect Timeline’ They Sold Us From JSS1, it was like we were being prepped for a race we didn’t even sign up for. We were told that life was linear: SS3 at 16 ✅ JAMB and university admiss...
