The level of indifference to mass killings in Nigeria needs to be studied. We are more triggered when our fave religious leader is confronted than when hundreds are slaughtered.
Over 20 youths slaughtered in cold blood in Benue, yet this is not a national issue?
20 leaders of tomorrow have been slaughtered yet Nigeria unlooks.
This could be any of us. You are not more human or Nigerian than them.

When Nigerians were shouting for lockdowns and angry at Nigerians for not staying in their homes, I wondered what brand of weed they were smoking. People who live day to day should stay home and starve?
COVID-19 absolutely did not do that.
The developing world's brain-dead response to COVID-19 - which consisted of pretending as if they were $40,000 PCGDP countries with "lockdowns" and "government stimulus" - did that.
Good luck converting that validation into food now.

The funniest thing is that if you replace Christianity with anything else, e.g. she was killed for being gay, trans, of a certain tribe and refused to deny her heritage, etc. we see how easily this argument falls apart.

I remember feeling a huge sense of relief when I turned 40. All through my 30's, my fear was ending up single before 40. Then it happened and I found I didn't die. Instead, there was no longer any pressure or expectation to marry. I was finally free. Now I could face life.

Women tend to be more emotional. It's the same reason why religious conmen target women - appeal to their emotions, make them feel good and they won't think about logic.

There's every chance they will rig the gubernatorial election, like they rigged all others. But something changed this year. It took them 3 days, we made it harder for them this time. That's progress. For that, I'm going to make it even harder to rig the next one.

As a mother who has used both, I will tell you they both have their uses based on the age of the baby. For babies less than 3 months, B is preferable so you have them in your sight at all times, plus they are lighter. When they get older, progress to A.

Writers - producers will pay next to nothing, ndi "We're building a relationship, giving you a platform/exposure". And at the end of the day, even the one you manage to do, to give film credit is wahala. Check out the major Nollywood films out, how many have the writers listed?
