Lol there's an Igbo man at the helm of American Country music with the
#1
song in the nation. We have completed our infiltration, resistance is futile.
@EssenceBell2
I think its more complicated than this mans was struggling with his mental health and drug abuse. She branded herself as his mentor and was knocking him down behind closed doors. Ehh concerning lol
@RegalCourtier7
No its not hard because theyre my sisters. They have their own personhood, I do not control their sexual decisions. This is also very weird to even have to explain.
@kingtutweezy
😂 I love how we are casually overlooking the fact that she is actually being physically violent and he is trying to deescalate, the situation. He does not have the right to tell her what to do. He realizes that, he does have a right to determine who is his girlfriend.
I regularly unplug to ensure I'm not internalizing ideas and events I consume on social media. This amount of access and connectedness is at odds with normal human behavior and mental health. I suggest everyone do the same.
The fact that Meg was violently assaulted and was still thinking "oh man the police might kill us all" is disheartening. I hope Tory is held to account for this. Extremely disappointed
I also hate how we devalue violence as a tool for change. Because everytime the state seeks change they do not hesitate to use violent tactics. Waging war being the clearest illustration of that fact.
I wish we would get tired of pretending we don't need each other. God created us to depend on each other. All the pride, ego and pettiness is useless. I want no parts of it. It is disgusting
Char is annoying, I'd urge women to leave as soon as you see infidelity. I do not try to work things out after cheating. Please go be with that man. Yall need to have the same energy.
27 summers old. This year has definitely tested me but I'm still here giving thanks, learning myself. growing. Praying the year coming is better than the one before.
I've forgiven my parents for sins against me they didn't even know they committed. Because I realized they didn't have the tools to address alot of my pain, they were tryna figure out too. That wasnt easy but I couldn't as a man walk around resenting them. My spirit was too heavy
@DontWorryBoutB
I want us to stop blaming men for the personal problems of women. It's quite possible shorty doesn't even begin to know how to be any other way?
@GoldenedGirl
Im sympathetic to the point you are attempting to make, we should as black men in life honor and defend our women. However this is tacky and is no different than the rhetoric white people use to ignore injustice. Furthermore youre assuming that he had the same beliefs as his guy
Also lets clarify the definition of a snitch cause alot of you got it confused. A snitch is a person that partook in a crime that informs on other criminals. Megan is a victim
The fact that Meg was violently assaulted and was still thinking "oh man the police might kill us all" is disheartening. I hope Tory is held to account for this. Extremely disappointed
The whole 50/50 conversation is weird to me and indicative that many of you all have not seen functioning marriages or understand money. I've never actually seen my parents squabble over who paid what bills, I just know they got paid.
@slaybutterbaby
Lol whats that mean we out here progressive, educated, open minded. I'm the eldest, two younger sisters. They have their own lives. They know to call their big brother when theres an issue but other than that im hands off.
I legitimately never regret being vulnerable with someone I was dating or in a relationship with. Vulnerability isnt a tool to get what you want out of someone it is the expression of your soul. Why deny your soul

@Supaahstar
Its lose lose, honestly she should have choosen not to engage him sexually. Women have the unique burden of motherhood so you have to be extremely selective.
Mom sent me this picture of my grandparents wedding. They got married in the 50s, my grandpa was working on the railroads in Lagos and my grandma was a stay at home wife. The Biafran war broke up in the 60s and they were forced east.
I'm gonna watch Beys new flick the production value looks dope but one day we are going to talk about why we love mashing very distinct African ethnic practices, garbs and aesthetics like its gumbo. Its a slight
I just got an email. I've been unanimously confirmed on the Board of Trustees for the Midtown Cleveland Corporation. Midtown Cleveland is an economic development organization focused on the sustainable development of Midtown Cleveland and surrounding neighborhoods.
The way people get on here and are blatantly dishonest about wealth, income and subsequently dating is frustrating. Because people then take those unrealistic ideals and project it into their real life relationships.
There's a degree of luck needed for love I think, but there's also a degree of "I want to be of service" alot of us only seek to be served and wonder why we have not been successful
I actually can not stand seemingly educated successful people that are condescending and lack empathy. Lets be honest alot of success is luck and access. We are always more blessed than talented. Life can change in an instant, having compassion is necessary.
Imagine being a diversity and inclusion consultant in your own marriage. Naw lemme mind my business and date and love the women that understand me intuitively.

Shoot I know this is blowing up you mentions and spiking anxiety. I’d delete the tweet and go about your day. It’s really no big deal just think a bit more before you tweet people in tough spots out here especially young black folks
I think my late 20s have been me coming to the realization that life is incredibly complicated, that our expectations and visions have largely been informed from incomplete and incorrect places. So much unlearning and relearning. Lol frankly it's exhuasting but we move.
@THotstew
Yes we do, but as you know marriage for us requires more than just intention I requires infrastructure. So there's no point in talking about it dreaming about it until you've built the structure to support it. Especially as an African man.
Multi tasking is actually at conflict with how your brain works, I wish people would stop using it as a badge honor. Splitting your focus, can increase stress, impact memory, and restrict creativity.
My dad asked me to cook him and my mother dinner for their 30th anniversary so I tested a new recipe
Spiced Cornish Hen, Baked Squash, Satueeed Green Beans, Pureed Yellow Potatoes, Atop Homemade Herb Bread.
🥴 overcooked green beans a little.
Africans have the right to violently depose their corrupt leaders. Because corruption is violence, leaders must realize their is a price for their transgressions.
Biden Extending til May 1st, lol yall clearly don't need that bread just go ahead and cancel them loans baby boy. Lord knows you need the approval bump
Crazy part is the higher you ascend, the more isolated you become. There's a diminishing amount of people I can discuss my problems with. Because the people I used to know are dealing with issues I solved already.
Chadwick gave us Gods of Egypt, Capitan America: Civil War, Marshall, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, 21 Bridges and Da 5 Bloods, all while fighting colon cancer and suffering from cachexia. We didn't deserve him.
Most of us first generation Nigerian Americans are very privileged. 1 percenters back home. Someone in our familial history sacrificed alot so we could be born in the west. Thats something that shouldnt be forgotten, its a debt owed.
@Adelinekiesa01
I hope Nigerians dont let some random Congolese yute speak on a nation of 250 odd million people with 250 different languages. Maybe she should focus on her nation and their variety of issues. While we turn towards our issues 😒
Income is fluid, life changes, so if you're walking into a marriage with money at it's center youre going to have serious problems. To me marriage is about choosing who you're going to face life with, who you can trust when's things are great but moreso when times get dark.
We all know men like that dude though, and I laude those men. Law School isnt easy, Med School isnt easy but it doesn't make you innately special. If anything this crisis should have shown people not to tie their identities to positions granted to us.
I really hate that people are trying to package the situation with Derrick Jaxn as "men don't like modest women" instead of "don't be a religious extremist in a marriage with a narcissist"
@jayemonet
The man has outlined his past. Has struggled with drugs and suicide and the relationship started when he was around 21. Please dont be obtuse
I say all of this as a man that decided to take his ass to therapy. I was projecting, being needy, low key manipulative. All that shit is trash, love is about openness, forgiveness and free will.
I'm down almost 70lbs since early 2018 and my life is so much better for it. I still have more work to do and staying disciplined to those efforts is an everyday battle but I know 45 year old Chi is gonna be happy I put in the work.
