I wear a hijab doesn't mean I'm from Northern Nigeria. I'm not. I wear a hijab doesn't mean I'm married or betrothed. I'm not. I wear a hijab doesn't mean I'm trying to marry every potential man. Calm down.

Ladies, practice this - "I want you" "I'd like us to become exclusive" "I want a relationship. Do you?" It's okay to say these. You don't have to sit and wait for someone else to do the work. Do it too.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but Twitter IS REAL LIFE. Actions (even on Twitter) have offline consequences.

Am I the only one who's uncomfortable about the new bill for additional seats for women legislators? It sounds like good news. It's framed like good news. But...something's off. Let's start with this - why are we creating "additional" seats and further increasing cost of gov?

Okay. Promise. 100 LIKES and I'll recreate this. @Ms_Ayjay will hold me accountable. Just 100.

I think the most dangerous place is that place where you stop talking because you don't want to be talked out of how you feel.

No. He's doing his job. End of! Did he need a protest to clean up the rot he already knew was in the system? Applauding elected officials for doing the barest minimum after we shout needs no applause. #EndNASS #EndSWAT #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria

Sanwo-Olu is being really responsive. We should give him some credit.

It truly breaks my heart that they're literally playing the tricks to the letter. People have been asking me how I know these things. See, I moved to Abuja primarily for this reason - to understand the system. Since 2018, I've been chasing after a bill. #Thread #5for5

Where are the protests today? Show up! Stop playing into their hands. See how distracted they're making us. Stop giving them power. Control the conversation. FOCUS. Mental stamina, please. #SARSMUSTENDNOW #EndSARS #EndBadGoveranceInNigeria #EndBadGoveranceInNigeria

Even as jokes/banter, a person's tweets are very telling. Pay attention.

Sanwo-olu reminds me of a man I once dated. We'll agree on something, then he'll come back with something completely different. He'll then apologise and then repeat. I thought it was both of us until I realised that his mum was calling the shots. Make of this what you will.
