Quality of the “Stew”, quality of the broth, some bay leaves, thyme, and curry ‘ear’ and ‘dear’. Small smoke, should burn, cover with foil, or bags to cook on low heat when the broth is drying...ati be be lo.
@dotunjubal
I had a Kodunmi classmate in High School that the Yoruba teacher was flogging and asked, “what is your name?”. Saying his name attracted more strokes because she kept saying, “Kodun e now”
Lol.
@UjuAnya
The whole idea of embracing diversity and differences is not forcefully blurring the lines but, accepting, dignifying, appreciating the diverse forms as they are. On the other hand, intent and context should never be disregarded...
@jayythedope
I hope you're joking, though. Should false rape accusations be punishable? Yes. But will this be a good sense of proportion for the punishment? Of course not.
@yemisichei
Like! Nigerian schools conflict intelligence with sciences and diminish the importance of the Arts. And even though I was in the sciences, I didn't like that. I thought it took a lot to be in the Arts.
Some of us have been living with our inboxes submersed with Heys, His, Sup, Xup, and Hellos. People with no intentions of driving meaningful conversations. To be fair, I'm not looking for new friends. But if you must shoot your shot, please come correct.
I want to fall in love deeply and delightfully with someone who has a forceful intellect and ambition. Someone kind and beautiful. And proceed to formalize a committed relationship with them.
It would be great to quote this with a positive response before the year runs out.
@tolanibaj
Never have I seen this aunty tweet anything on personal development, nation-building, job opportunities, motivations, or anything cool. Smh 😞 You have a platform, do something lasting and impactful.
One of my biggest fear has been posing in the driver’s seat of a friend's car along a driveway. Them not being in the car, and another vehicle hooting for me to clear aside. And me confused and laughing because the car won't drive itself. The car won't drive itself, my darling.
Having a long day, sitting ad working in my office and hearing someone say Sufferness from downstairs
My day just got longer!
Edakun, what are these words? Sufferness? Pepperish?
Abeg now 😩😩
Please, say Suffering and Peppery.
Something I've learned about myself: My Life will change only if I want it to; there is nothing anyone says or does that will change my life or significantly influence my decisions.
Too much Social media is exactly like eating too rich, too moist, too sweet, too everything of a cake. Stuffing yourself at first feels good. And afterward, you feel less than good and realize that it would have been a lot better if you did not have so much.
I always pray that the gaps between our expectations and reality are bearable. I wish you a future filled with meaning and everything you wish for yourself.
Sending all my love to you on this day, all of it.

@jayythedope
Oh yes, I do. And that is why I'm saying: those who accuse people wrongly— intentionally or unintentionally should receive criminal punishment. Just not the same punishment as a rapist.
@BusayoOtebata
Instead of telling people not to eat this or that, why not talk about Moderation, Proportionality, and Variety. Why not tell people in context why they should reduce the intake of certain things?
I'm hyper-punctual, and I arrive early at every event. Being on time might be a moral imperative for me. Living in Nigeria, this, certainly, is a big punishment for me.
My latest attraction has been to people who use gender-neutral (inclusive) terms correctly and often. And to people careful not to misgender anyone, you can have all my money.
Dates are sorta sacred to me. I always want to talk to my partner, my friend, or colleague across a small table, have a drink and have an unrushed meal together. 😢

These are fried eggs, and what we call fried eggs are omelets. When you beat an egg, you're most likely making an omelet. And what you eventually add to the eggs determines the kind of omelets you make. You're welcome 🤞
Privilege does not mean an endlessly easy life. It is always relative to something else. It means you fall into a group that is advantageous to another group.
@Ogamaestro
She Leads Africa asked me to read their organizational brochure to see if there are mistakes and point them out, during an application. I spent 5hours doing it and they didn’t get back. And this was 1/10 of the application process.
And the award for the most stubborn people now belongs to the Am for I'm users.
It seems they are not even willing to check if they make this mistake. And despite the gazillion corrections.
@Ebuka
I, too, have been pondering this. People are learning and growing everyday, and it’s troubling that people can’t even take back things they’ve said (in good faith)
@OrieFaith
@RowlyDaDon
🤝 I agree with you—those few times are my issues with him. He needs to say things in context, with nuance, and drop some stereotypical views. And both women and men need to do better, to be fair.
I want a soft life, don't stress me, reduce your control on me, pay me maximum, and pay me yesterday.
This was how someone described my generation (GenZ). Yay/Nay?
bicthes dey this world mehn
God abeg
I don’t want to be a mechanic I wanna be a baller
I say this 1000 times every day
I think it has even replaced my morning prayers
Epp me 😭😭
One of my biggest flexes currently is people who know I'm an Adichie stan coming to me to tell me they read a book by Chimamanda and it's so good or that she is now the absolute love of their life or that they saw a video of and she is so beautiful. I Stan a metaphor for Success
People have said a lot, and I want to say, too, that it is okay to step back from or downsize a difficult friendship. Sometimes, we have to let certain friends go, or at least, diminish our reliance on them.
No amount of peer pressure will make me roast the tomatoes, bell peppers, habaneros, and onions for my Jollof Puree in the oven. And no, I won't add garlic and ginger too, when making the puree. They are better in the meat broth.
@Ugolibra
@Ebuka
But many people lack that sense of proportion for punishments of ‘crimes/sins’. And that we live in a world where people are still judged differently for doing the exact thing but based on who is involved makes me wary of what you have just said.

He may not have necessarily gotten another job elsewhere...some of us just can’t stand any form of breaching employees’ rights and keep quiet in fear.
After I complete my Foward program at McKinsey&Company, if you see me doing any program or course again, abeg wipe me cord for neck because I no dey hear word 😩
I'm due for one of those dates where I'll order every course. A martini for my appetizer and a tall glass of sweet red wine for my entreé
And it has to be Lamothe Parrot or Merlot 😩😩
In this adult age, I wanted y'all to know I've liked a person so much that I used all of our names for “FLAMES” and checked our Zodiac compatibility. The ghetto of the trenches that I was in (still in). I can't even say the other things (shame dey catch me)
Would it not make you perverse to like all the pictures on my Instagram highlights on Monday morning and not send a message or follow me?
I know you're a spec, but dm still.
As an adult, the velocity each day is great, and time for reflection is little—still, you must reflect. You could be going through the darkest tunnel, yet you must show up for whatever. It's hard.
I'll give the context much later.
I can't think of anything lonelier than having a partner I cannot talk to, or worse, someone I cannot be silent with. So, I'm always careful to give people the silence they need—honoring your need for space and time. I want to talk and listen a lot and be quiet when need be, too
Death tells you there's no time to sit around and ponder about how your life should go. It could just come hurtling at you. We actively never remember death, and it is the reason many of us live the way we do. And we will all die—life is only a state of death denial.
Kindness is a measure of our humanity. Please, always be kind. Oh, and this does not translate to being nice—it is not wanting to be likable or too comfortable or telling a lie.
My two major drivers: are my desire not to be poor and my wanting to make a genuine impact. They have somehow dictated my every movement, decision, and even the day’s rhythm.
