After rushing to fly back home; wandering why you haven’t seen me out protesting? ...Since arriving in Lagos “THEY” have warned that I MUST self-isolate for 7 days due to Nigerian
#COVID19
laws or face prosecution!
State of origin is even such a patriarchal concept. How does it make sense that I am from wherever my father's father was from, but my mother's side is completely ignored?
The first step to dealing with tribalism in Nigeria is to remove this “state of origin” nonsense. If you were born in a state, that is where you are from. Simple

You don't need to protest. You can donate to those protesting. You can pay for billboards to amplify the message. You can retweet and amplify the hashtag. Right now, you are doing absolutely nothing

Gillette: makes ad addressing toxic masculinity.
Men: lEt MeN bE mEN. How dare you say we shouldn't beat each other up or harrass women? You're ruining masculinity.
In secondary school, teachers told us (girls) that our husbands were in uni or had finished uni already. Then they told the boys that their wives were still in primary school.
One day we'll talk about how everything in this Nigerian society sets you up wrongly.
As a girl, you're conditioned to believe that guys your age are “not your mates” and you're supposed to follow older guys.
Already, they'e started preparing you to submit yourself to predators
no, it depends on large number of factors, from race to class to gender to pure luck/chance. you could do all the right things and still fail. hope this helps👍🏽
This protest must be documented and taught in schools as history. With no one exempted or erased. Let it be known that the women and the queers showed up and did the thing

Ended the year by spending the holidays with my girlfriend's family who knows about us, but treated me with such affection and warmth. Watched Christmas movies and sang carols with Leah. Had a great year and crossed into 2023 in the arms of the love of my life.
All this talk that they've disbanded SARS, ko kan mi. I want Buhari to come on live TV and say it. I want to hear it on radio. I want to see it in newspapers. I want to stop seeing SARS and their vehicles on the road. That's when I'll believe
My love languages:
Words of Affirmation: "I love you like I love Amala"
Acts of Service: "I made you some Amala"
Receiving Gifts: "I bought you some Amala"
Quality Time: "Let's go eat some Amala"
Physical Touch: "Let me put hot Amala on your nipples"
You've "disbanded" SARS but your officers are still shooting and attacking protesters. You haven't said a word about the protesters YOUR officers killed. No measures in place to free those your officers arrested wrongfully (before and during the protest). Abegi!
She asked me to get
a gun
so she could kill me with it.
I ran and went
below the moon
above the stars
Searching for the best
gun
for my best
girl
Because
to die by her hands is hell
and heaven.
to die by her hands
is bliss.
- Men and women were clubbing, but only the women were arrested
- When
#EndSARS
was trending, men understood that you cannot judge someone based on their dressing
