This is such an accurate representation of what it's like to talk to a Nigerian man these days and I cannot explain the mountain of frustration it fills me with. It's like having a convo with a person with actual brain rot, no comprehension, no personality, just this. Disgusting.

Her name is Benji, she is about 6-7 months and she comes with her food and water bowls including enough dry food to last 2 months and some wet food. Also her own litter box. Please stop commenting about witchcraft in relation to my cat, it's not her fault your aunty is evil.

This tweet encapsulates everything that is wrong with some Christians. Why pray for you to get better before other peoples lives can change. Can you not pray for God to change their situations directly??. But no lets make people eating mud about you.

Establish care is an important part because what basis do I have not to assume the worst? A lot of people want the benefit of the doubt without any ground work.
Knowing someone's heart &moving from a place of grace and love really eases conflict in rels, platonic or romantic. Someone establishing care so that when they err & apologise (everyone will slip up at a point) u know their intentions were not to hurt u clarifies the redressing.

Dutch people in a nutshell then they hide behind "culture and straightforwardness".
Teaching my first class this term, I dealt with a Dutch white woman student whose disrespect I was forced to tolerate for months. This person would roll her eyes at me in every class, gossip about me in Dutch, make comments about my face and hair, and question my qualifications.

This is exactly why I say people don't hate cishet men enough for me. So much of their behaviour is normalized. Sooo much, people I thought I knew telling me not to compromise my access to men 🙄like that's a valid concern.
LMAO you see that thing people say about how your politics start to waver if for some reason you start spending more time fraternitizing with cishet men. It's so true.

This is not true, we literally aren't taught, if your school did it, it was absolutely not the norm. A lot of people admitted to learning about Biafra through half of a yellow sun some years ago on here.

I think there's a space where compassion is had for the women because of a myriad of things that led to them being like this but the way my empathy is so low for these women? Like practically non existent.
When women say that being friends with a man-obsessed woman is dangerous because they will quite literally kill you or put you in harm’s way, this is it. So desperate for companionship that they will settle with ANYTHING.

Only you people know what you were expecting when you opened this coupled with nearly all the men in Lagos, you learn to discern from the title alone.
Lmao. What in the exaggerative fiction is this? Nigerian in diaspora writers and their love for overly displaying nuance notes of culture.

Good TV feels like you're observing authentic people go through life, whatever that means for them succession, the bear, to a great extent, interview with the vampire, it was authentically written. Authenticity isn't dead after all. Honorable mention, I know this much is true.

My tweet is not even up to 30 minutes, here the proof lies. We have a deep inferiority complex and antiblackness in our society.
@mstrishlorenz Did anyone stop you lot from writing a book and naming it “soro soke”? Cos I don't understand the backlash. Also, I would rather people talk about or criticize the content of the book and not this.

I am so sorry, I believe in dismantling how desirability works in our society but quite honestly, this was my first thought. Cus he feels sooo comfortable coming on hozier's internet to show us he dislikes his wife. It's enough, her name isn't even Fatima, I fit cry for this girl.

I always think the solution is reading more feminist texts but maybe that's not it tbh. Always so disappointing to encounter women that spout choice feminism. I, too, wish your choice could be made in a silo.
The post-Sex Wars “choice feminist” framework—in which all women’s “choices” must be judged the same, regardless of their motivations or outcomes, and in which the presence of women’s “agency” negates the moral wrongness of their oppression—completely hollowed out feminism.

Okay so, watched the bear, love it. It's a great show. I like how honest the dialogue is, saying you're fine before you know you're fine, holding on to what made you feel good even if it's bad. Really cool show. Carmy was annoying but Sydney shouldn't have quit that moment.

People don't think too often about deeply violent misogynistic phrases like this. That just ran a chill through me, from this to killing us, it's a straight and very short line.
Niggas be 6 feet deep in the friendzone doing shit like this but never feed they momma. Never call they granny. Just obsessed with someone else nutrag.

One of the most anti black societies tbh.
when you factor in how colourist young black British men are??? when you hear how that talk about dark skinned (fat???) women? It’s so dehumanising it’s actually insane. I have never felt uglier in my life than I did studying in the UK for my undergrad. Insane scenes.

If these girls don't start talking to each other and leaning on each other, I'm going to lose it.
Watch the official trailer for Beyond The Veil Season 2 . As these women life’s challenges, they must make tough choices, stepping bravely into the unknown despite the cost of loss. Beyond The Veil offers a poignant narrative beyond the surface of womanhood. 🎥 @btv_series

It's so weird being in Nigeria and having to answer the "are you a feminist?" question and it's just like what else would I be? But I have been taught there are other things to be by both women and men. Most of all the other thing is stupid and ignorant.

Skating so far past the point is an interesting choice here, you could also listen to women. This narrative you've told yourselves about it being so different is a huge lie. A lot of men in romantic relationships with women default to using the women for emotional support.
men unable to feel their feelings live confused lives, inflicting others, *especially women*, with the burden of feeling things *for* them or compensating for their total lack of self-awareness. we need dedicated spaces for men to build emotional intelligence. where are they?.

Travelling with Nigerians is very irritating, flight attendants treating people like children and I want to get offended but then 2 minutes into the damn flight a Nigerian is behaving like a child, screaming. Embarrassing, I can't even say anything.

This is the absolute worst. If I didn't rate you, I wouldn't be communicating or talking. It is super exhausting.
it is draining to engage with people who think I’m arguing or personally attacking them every time I try to solve an issue or express my emotions. it creates mental exhaustion. if someone can’t tolerate you asking clarifying questions and sharing how you feel, keep your distance.

All of you that see what Nella rose said at 13 the same as your man that was 21 talking about beating black women, you are all mad. All of this energy, direct it to the men. More compassion needs to be afforded black women. Always free for all when it's black women.
