And before time demands our goodbye, can you sing me a last lullaby?

Think I fully came alive to it during NYSC. Served in Enugu. During Èké Market days, native Igbo speakers bought stuff at lower prices than we non-Igbos. And it was the most confusing thing. Eventually had to start sending our Igbo colleagues to buy stuff on our behalf.
I used to be in denial (and downplay it) but we are a tribalistic country. Know this and know peace.

This kind of 'little things' >>>>>>>>>>>>. Probably took her less than 5 seconds to do this and with minimal stress but the weight of the action heavy die. Not 'he drove 3 hours to pick me up then 3 hours to drop me before going home. Dá lirru tinzzzz'.
I talked to someone who started dating his girlfriend because she covered his food at a wedding event, he was a groom’s man & he was eating then got called, when he got back to the table, the lady had covered his food. And that was it, the only inspiration he needed.

Why are these two things always said together as if they are on the same pedestal? Whether intentionally or not, that's exactly what it does and it simply isn't right.
Men are not hiding fraud again. Women are not hiding prostitution again. There was a time things like this used to be done in secrecy. Our society has taken a serious nosedive, thanks to the aggressive pauperisation of Nigeria.

@i_am_UCHE Lmao. I find it incredibly stupid when people try to counter other people's lived experience because of theirs. It is the ultimate sign of unintelligence. Because what will I lie for? Who do you even think you are?. Umulokpa, Uzo Uwani LGA. Waiting for this counter patiently.

It's also funny because we've seen multiple videos of young secondary school girls espousing the 'no money no love' rhetoric. But we have a short memory on Twitter when it comes to agenda. Nobody is interested in solving any issue. We just want to score points tbh.
when teenage boys complain that girls their age are demanding for things they can’t provide & it’s affecting how these boys navigate love, it’s not fair to just brand such boys as red pill consumers/incels, do you think all of them just started lying about the same thing???.

Eventually come to the conclusion the use of 'woke' is an indication that you're about to read something incredibly asinine and intellectually deficient.
The attack on Mount Zion movies is just woke nonsense. They took time to depict the reality of spiritual warfare in an obviously demonized society like ours and the best objection we can come up with is trauma? I don’t get, are they suppose to trivialize the schemes of the devil?.

Been looking at the people making self righteous tweets about support for this sham. Any reasonable person could see this was a charade but this constant need to posture won't let y'all rest. Our tolerance, and even pitiable defence, of mediocrity and anyhowness is something else.
Regarding the matter concerning ‘Chef Dammy’ @dammypas / @dammypass breaking and setting a record . It has come to our attention that her involvement in breaking any records is not based on personal achievement, but rather been manipulated by her 'Manager,' who also

Interesting that Tech Cabal managed to mention other Startups that have been in the news negatively in recent times but curiously, and perhaps conveniently, left out Flutterwave. Not even a mention. Very curious stuff.
Investors at Nigeria-based stock investment app, Risevest, have recommended that the company’s founder and CEO, Eke Urum, step down from his role due to ongoing investigations into allegations of sexual and non-sexual impropriety.

It's because a lot of people cannot fathom the idea of being able to deal with situations as they occur and not on the basis of ideological loyalty. I know a few people whose stance you can predict no matter what the issue is simply cos they're firmly wielded to their ideology.
men assume in pro-women and think I'm pandering, some women assume I'm pro-men and accuse me of sexism.

In all of this, there are still imbeciles using this as an opportunity to offer faux praise of 'opposition style' just to take a shot at another candidate. Àní this country cannot make it, bro. No be curse.
I just wrote an open letter to the Governor on Public Procurement awards reported by LASG for the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2023, highlighting a number of issues for further scrutiny and remedial action. Judicious use of public funds is always important, and is especially so now.

People focusing on it being something done against boys instead of done for girls is killing me. But anyhoo, I'm done with the topic.
Being unkind to little boys isn't helping anyone, and certainly not girls. And I'm rather nonplussed by the idea that being wicked to little boys is a way to redress issues for girls. 🤦🏾♂️.

When I started reading this, I thought it was gonna end with an admonishment for men to spend more time with their kids. Nothing prepared me for the twist. Wetin dey always worry una gangan?.
Every dad that I’ve spoken to that spends time with his kids say the same thing about it. It’s more valuable to them than their work and they’re often happier. That’s y it’s weird to me when some women constantly see motherhood, marriage or family as a thing to avoid or put off.

Love that people are coming together to do some sort of community protection for the Ore person. One person shouldn't be getting this much vitriol over any and everything. It is insane. This person probably expected her tweet to get a different reaction. Very good.
Ore there’s discipline and there’s abuse. Statistics has shown that parental abuse occurs when your mum or dad ends up with another person. Buts it’s you and you can’t know the difference. So I’m sure we all get it.

Typically, there's nothing wrong with bringing something on the first date. But the mentality that only one side is expected to fulfil these obligations renders the gesture unappealing and performative. Dating really doesn't have to be this parasitic. It's so sad.

Don't forget the sudden discovery of faith in the Nigerian police and justice system. 'Why dindin you go to police? Why bring it here?'. 'Take him to court nau'.
“Share your location before you go out” Ini did that. “Stay at home” Barakat did that. “Go to churches you will be safe there” Uwa did that. They all died, and everytime we speak again sexual abuse or assault you call us bitter. Then chip in the “learn self defense”.

Sure. It's only a woman thing. We've not seen n1ggas supporting the stupidest, daftest, most repulsive fellas on this app. Every issue is a chance to spew some dishonest narrative about the other gender. Mtchew.
One thing i noticed about Twitter, long as you're a woman, no matter how stupid you are, you will find fans😂.

Reminds me of the stupid shit I did in secondary school. A babe wrote on a note that she had a crush on me and I carried the note to the principal's office to report. When I tell you she hates me till today, I'm not joking. Like she can't stand my ass. What a buffoon I was.

Iyanya's debut song (his original song from Project Fame) was a beauty of a love song. Barely gained him traction. Bro came back with Kukere and never looked back. N1ggas ain't serious fr fr.
All of you complaining about lack of good love songs are not serious. The reason tungba tungba is huge is because you genuinely enjoy and are platforming it. That’s why lover boys will leave rnb and blow once they start singing rubbish. It’s your fault 🫵🏾. You like rubbish🫵🏾.

N1ggas be like 'We are losing our culture. The world is going bad' and the culture will be something like this.
This is a Bemba wedding tradition, it’s used to prove that should the woman lose her limbs she can still be able to cook and take care of her husband. And yes it is a misogynistic practice.

Must be nice to be Simeone. Top 3 highest paid managers in world football, always heavily backed in transfer markets but somehow always carries the underdog tag and gets talked about sweetly for playing ugly football, esp in big games, with not much expectation of him. Sweet.

@SheunAdeola Morality is subjective. What you do with such careless rhetoric is you reinforce a harmful narrative that both sit at the same table when it isn't true. One is literally a crime across the entire country. One would think you'd be more careful in the future but bleh. .

You read this story and you're like 'Damn, that's cool. Man probably put in the work to get back on his feet'. Then you open the quotes and 'you know who' are going crazy with the denigration as usual. Life is cooked, bruh.
We met at a wedding, I slid in his dm’s, gave him my number, started dating, but he didn’t have a job, so our dates consisted of Mcdonalds savers menu and long walks. My friends laughed at me. My now husband just gifted me a Rolex for valentines day.

If you think about all the problems wey Nigeria get, you go just realise say we no fit make am. No be curse. Na just facts.
Nigeria has a problem of societally useless powerful men. Men who don't add societal and nation building value but have been rewarded with control and power that could only be given by those who seek nothing but self interests. Unfortunately, such men are enabled and encouraged.

Those guys hit 46, 48 and 50 goals in the league alone. Haaland has 34 so far and will most likely not hit those figures and we dey shout. It's insane what they did.
Now that it isn't those hideous twins doing it anymore it looks and sound amazing, can't believe they were getting it off like this every season for almost a decade ffs.
