You can marry someone because they’re financially secure & still find a situation in a couple of years where they lose their money.
You can also marry someone for love and find they stopped loving you after some time.
There’s no formula. Only God’s mercy & grace.
This kidney disease… there’s something affecting Nigerians and causing it either in our water or food or medicines or whatever. I don’t know the root cause but the country needs help! It’s affecting too many people!!
If you’re watching this and you don’t have a beard, I’m the woman in the video and I assure you that I still rubbed his face when he didn’t have a beard 😂
february 14th, please let your tweets be short cus no be you start love, just tell us your name, your partner's name and what the Lord has done for you
Sis everyone is just trying to take care of their families, their mental health, their home and to survive. This is not a time for seeing who real friends are as everyone is currently overburdened with the realities of the pandemic.
I was watching CNN yesterday and a man asked why we say “50 women were raped” instead of “50 (or whatever number of) men committed rape”. That the change in language should shift blame back on to the perpetrators and I agree.
The confusion when Nigerians in the thread learn that Hausa isn’t the same as Fulani & Fulani isn’t necessarily Muslim and there are Fulanis all over Africa 😂
I am a woman who doesn't enjoy cooking. I always tell anyone who wants to date/marry me. Cooking is not my thing. If food is the way to your heart I'm not the one for you.
Social media has showed me how men think/talk about women in private and in small groups and I wish I didn’t have to see their stupid and condescending thoughts so often.
I loved Bukola Dakolo’s statement. She said awareness is victory and I was thinking along the lines even before I saw the comment. We have to see this as a win in some way. Literally winning a court case and shifting attitude towards and issue doesn’t happen in one instance.
SLS is saying, if you’re poor, don’t marry multiple women to give birth to multiple children you can’t afford to take care of, as many of them end up on the streets. He is right. Even if you have one wife, don’t pop out 7 if you’re gonna send them out on the road. It’s just sense
I guess young Nigerians can watch bbnaija, donate and promote protests and call out govt all on social media in the same year. Anyone who disturbs us about this again will get a special knock on the head. Thanks.
Being a woman in Nigeria means attending a stakeholder meeting as a specialist & being expected to serve govt officials their tea. I always say no to serving tea. And I advise other women to be professional & not allow gender roles to be imposed on you at work
#GenderRoles
Our generation is exposed to all these toxic quotes about our happiness, putting ourselves first, not owing anyone anything, working until we don’t have to introduce ourselves etc etc. A lot of it doesn’t make any sense.
So many Nigerians have zero respect for other humans unless they realize you have money or power. It’s sad because everyone should be given that basic human respect.
To Prince Harry & Meghan, the Duke & Duchess of Sussex, seeing you both visit Nigeria and engage in such an honest and heartfelt way was so beautiful. You may never see this but our prayers and love are with you regardless 💕
There is nowhere in Nigeria more welcoming than the North where many people have left their states and not only made a living but thrived in different parts of the region. If you wanna insult us feel free but you found a home here.

Wow you guys are so mean. Losing sometimes is a part of sports and every other thing in life. This isn’t a disgrace, abeg. He has accomplished a lot so far.
Literally the day I had a home invasion, I tweeted to ask for which number to reach the police on and I got it, and they came. The impact of the ban is beyond freedom of expression or even the digital economy.
The day I get married, just know I have met someone who I am confident in, who gets my importance and value and treats me like it. I’d rather be single than take anything less. I’ll just join rich aunty gang. Nieces and Nephews will enjoy my money and I’ll rest.
I see a lot of arewa men following me recently. Please be aware that I’m Christian, I’m a feminist and I’m not homophobic. When my opinions stress you, please don’t come and get angry in my mentions.
Hi ladies (and allies) this man wrongly says that dressing decently prevents rape. Can we all bombard him with emails to correct him and ask him to retract this statement? His email is - archieokon

I went to a job interview one time and I didn’t get the job and I told my mother about it. Then she went “wow they really cheated themselves, they probably chose someone who isn’t as good as you” & that really touched my heart ❤️
One of the greatest lies they tell women is that you won’t have male pursuers after 30. Here to tell you that they only increase 😂 the only difference is that your taste changes and you spend less time entertaining random guys because you don’t want stress.
It’s so appalling to share a private moment with someone and record it with your phone to post on social media or send to others. People have to start getting arrested for this.
I’m not an expert on marriage but I read a study about how lasting marriages are usually ones where people share common CORE values. Agree on big things like religion, finances, parenting, lifestyle, roles of each partner etc & you’re more likely to last.
I met Leo Dasilva yesterday and had a dope conversation with him.

Love it 😍
It’s not hard to know when a man loves you. He treats you well and that’s that. Love is a series of acts and a commitment. Not the butterflies in his tummy.
Somebody out there has evidence against Fatoyinbo. Sooner or later it will come out. Doesn’t have to be from Busola Dakolo. She scattered the matter and that’s already significant work. Thanks for the sacrifice.
This week I was awarded my second master's degree with high honours (magna cum laude). It was draining but I feel blessed to be DONZO. Thank u, next. You can now contact me for communication & marketing plans plus execution (I have experience too). My customer is on your TL 😏😁
I have two prayers this morning
Ya Allah please help us fix Nigeria, we are all tired. Kai.
Second, please help us get rid of rapists and molesters, we can't take this anymore.

One passed away and other two daughters still in his life, married and living in Abuja sef. Just cause you don’t know where they are doesn’t mean you get to make statements like this one.
Someone lost younger sister and her other two sisters came for the burial in Abuja. On the way back to Maiduguri from the funeral, one sister was shot and killed and the other one taken by BH. This is true life. I cannot imagine her pain.

maximized maternity for women at NPA. Apparently there was discrimination on maternity leave for unmarried women & she ensured that unmarried women were given same maternity privileges as married women. This is impressive and heart warming 💝
The lady in the video said something very important. Stick to your wife. Even without jazz, once you’re married and you go sleeping around with others, there’s a lot you’re exposing your family to, it ruins you spiritually and in other ways.
My house girl using 6hrs to cry because I got married and left the house is the most unexpected part of this wedding for me 🤣 girl why are you crying as if I died 😂

The way women pressure themselves to be sexy mums right after giving birth is so unnecessary. Your body just went through a crazy distortion, give it rest, give your mind rest, love your baby and enjoy the moment. You’ll be sexy again, just chill.
I’m glad she was disqualified. It’s important for Nigerian viewers to see that such actions aren’t acceptable. Since this is a show so many people watch, we can use it to address our society’s vices, even if briefly.
I’m sick and tired of rubbish narratives that try to minimize arewa women who seek to work or make money..
While women in Lagos are investing in stocks and business & education, we keep shouting at northern women to slow down. Then wonder why the region is backward.
So everyone in the north is using ill gotten wealth just coz their fine pics are paining you? Your jealousy and bitterness over the beauty really can’t be disguised with statistics or faux intellectualism. Eid Mubarak.
Stop allowing yourself to get offended by everything people say and do. Their tweets and all. Just rest easy and accept that many people don’t have sense.
If traders protest by reducing food supply for sale, it’s a reminder that please do not kill our people or we will not provide a service to you! How can you show more hatred for a food block than for the loss of lives? Chai
A good example of something that has changed is that in my church, we had a whole session for youth about sexual abuse and harassment within the church. Some people sent in notes that they had been abused. The culture of silence is changing. Simply by Busola sharing her pain
I remember when a young lady in Abuja in a private car was shot and killed by police. She was minding her business and she was not safe. They said it was a mistake
#EndSARS
Well look at my life guys. I decided to walk back from church and instead of fresh air, I am being followed by a man who insists on knowing my house so he can see me again. I have had to leave my neighborhood and now I am just roaming around in a taxi until I can go home.
Lmao this is fair protest o. If End SARS can block the roads, toll gates and airport over killings, farmers can block food as protest of killings. We should actually be thanking God they didn’t retaliate with more killings. Stop being biased tbh 😊
The man that tries to starve you to death but stops only because the strategy he chose to kill you has backfired will still try to kill you the day he thinks that he has found a tactic that would work.
#Nigeria
I urge everyone who is still a member at COZA, who might be reading this, to expose any injustice and assault they know about. Darkness cannot cover light. Sooner or later, light will shine through. That empire of abuse has cracked and it will crumble one way or another.
Many people asking me what it means to do life right. I can’t speak for everyone but I can speak for myself, these are the things I feel I did right, by God’s grace. 🧵 🪡
A woman killed her husband. Everyone can agree that's a terrible thing... just leave it that way. Don't turn it into men vs women when a life was lost. This is dead serious & shouldn't be used for social media drama. Shirme kawai.
The killings in Oyo are atrocious and unacceptable. Action should be swift to protect people and their properties. It also doesn’t hurt for us to call for peace in Northern States. We do not need more violence or any attack on innocent people.
