Boys were abducted in a school in Kaduna while preparing for WASSCE. The world is going on like it’s normal, this is not normal. We can’t continue like this, our kids deserve right to education not trauma, not THIS!.

Are we going to pretend we didn't see the part where a human being was 'gifted ' to another human being?
Lady Sarah Forbes Bonetta was orphaned in 1848, when her parents were killed in a slave-hunting war. In 1850, she was taken to England and presented to Queen Victoria as a “gift” from the King of Dahomey. She became the queen’s goddaughter & a celebrity known for her intelligence

You make it sound like Nigerian men in politics actually have a blueprint, plan and solid manifestos. But I can understand why that baffles you, seeing that politics is men’s birthright.
Nigerian Women In politics🤝 Nigerian Youths in politics. No blueprint, no plan, no solid manifestos. Just vote for me because it's time for women/youths to take over.

This Chimamanda’s stuff is way too familiar. A typical case of someone ‘admiring’ you, getting close to you and realizing you are only just human and the person deciding you don’t deserve the things you have because how are you different from them?.

Imagine interpreting a man’s lack of effort as his level of affection for you! Can truly never ever be me.

I don’t think I agree with our local delicacies having to conform to English language though. There’s nothing wrong with saying dan wake, pizza is Italian, and we say pizza, just pizza not stuffed dough or anything English.

I hate the use of the word ‘allegedly’ especially when something is so apparent. I would prefer we use words like; reportedly, by all accounts etc.

No, he’s not an animal . He’s a man and he is a man that assaulted a woman just because he can and he lives in a society where such is ‘accepted’. We must stop slandering animals to make ourselves feel better .

It was a great privilege for me to engage students of Ahmadu Bello University on the role of youths in nation building and how to ensure Nigeria is not left behind in achieving the #SDGs. At the core of my message is how we must get leadership right with #AtikuOkowa2023.

If anything, #LekkiMassacre should show us that at the end of the day, the elites are one and tribe nor religion doesn’t divide them but rather they benefit from dividing us along tribal and religious lines. STAY WOKE!.

These women aren’t smiling. I think it’s time we started locking the men in our lives at home. We need to keep them at home to protect them, lest they go and look into a woman’s eyes and start behaving like fish inside boiling water.

The Nigerian police and the Ghanian Police need to team up as soon as possible and investigate these rape allegations. We don’t live in the 1800 anymore and women are not pawns in the hands of men.

I honestly do not think we value human lives enough in this country because if we did,some debates are highly unnecessary. Criminals if and when found guilty belong in jail. Trespassing, kidnapping,civil unrest and banditry are all crimes and there are no justification to them.

And is this not scary? To live in a world where you are scared of stating your thoughts because someone somewhere will take offense and get vindictive to the extent of trying to destroy you? .This my way or the high way approach of the far left negates a lot of freedoms.
Chimamanda shouldn't have taken an open position. These people are vindictive and irrational and will attempt to ruin her. JKR can do what she does because she is JKR, she is also a white woman. Adichie has far too much to lose.

The effect of insecurity in the North is so wide-ranging that it will be unfair to say those directly affected aren’t on social media. We have seen our family members and neighbours killed and disappear without a trace. It affects us directly and we can speak on it.
