To EVERY young person in Nigeria; I am proud of you. You're an incredible generation. You've taken your POWER back, you have found your VOICE; don't you EVER let anyone take it from you again! I love you ALL!
It was a pleasure to tell my generation to STFU!
This lady has been wandering the streets in VI (Tiamiyu Savage) for over a week. She stopped to sit by Silverbird on Ahmadu Bello. She's been fed. Speaks good english but can't remember much except that her kids are at Uni & from the area. Share in case she's a missing person.

She's Timilehin's mummy.. and I am SHE !
I am so so proud of EVERY single Nigerian child! I love you all from the bottom of my soul, and I would not be anywhere else in the world right now, than amongst you.
Dear Black People,
Please do NOT do this. Let the guilty face the wrath. Leave her to her conscience. It is not, I repeat, NOT your responsibility to make her feel better. It's her responsibility to seek YOUR forgiveness for the rest of her life !...

Thank you Rinu !
Injustice is injustice. There are 3 injustices in this whole matter. Deborah - Murder - no conviction. Aminu- Assault. Zainab- Assault.
To override one in favour of the the other, is an injustice in itself. Thus we fall into the trap of the oppressors.
Supporting the injustice against Aminu because he threatened people about the death of Deborah is not “Karma.”
Injustice is injustice, whether it happens to the people, who you think deserves it or not.
Human rights are inalienable.

was a BIG success. Big ups and huge thank yous to everyone who showed up. We had expectations, some were met, others were superseded. We stood firmly with one voice and it was clear. We have learnt a lot and can't wait to do more with what we know.
There's a stench in the air. It's that of people who spew vileness + toxicity with pride, forgetting that shame never washes off.

This is an "agreement" prepared by a

Dear Nigerians, pls note:
a) being gay is not against the law. Sodomy is.
b)anti-gay marriage is not against being gay, it's against gay marriage.
Being gay is an identity and there's no legislation against it, at least not yet.
