Forgetfulness, and why reminders belong outside your head

Remembering is not a character skill you can train by caring harder. It is a job, and it can be moved out of your head onto something that does not get distracted.

Seeking an ADHD assessment: what to expect

Who can actually diagnose it, what happens in the room, what to bring, and what the possible outcomes are — including the ones that are not ADHD.

Shame, being called lazy, and asking for support

What happens to a person who spends twenty years being told their difficulty is a character flaw — and how to ask for help without handing over your dignity.

Why BrainBuzz exists

BrainBuzz Africa exists so that fewer people spend twenty years being told their difficulty is a character flaw.

We write about attention, motivation and everyday life in plain language, using examples from Nigerian and wider African life, and we link every claim to where it came from. Everything here is free, and nothing asks you to sign up first.

We are not a clinic. We cannot diagnose anyone, and we do not try to. What we can do is help you recognise a difficulty, understand it without shame, and find one practical thing to try next.
