@lilbrowneyedfae
& their 2 poems:
“for the house with the crumbling pink & brown paint”
“finding love in all of the wrong places”
These poems DO NOT MISS! They’re posted on our home page all week!
I hate this entitlement "nice" guys usually have. Like oh I acted like a normal fucking decent human so she has to sleep with me.
Nobody owes you shit.
"WOMEN ARE NOT MACHINES YOU PUT KINDNESS COINS INTO UNTIL SEX FALLS OUT."
Are you fucking kidding me?
So queer Nigerians don't deserve to fight against police brutality abii what?
This is something they have been fighting and experiencing for YEARS. Don't their lives matter?!

Fuck ya'll.
Exceptionalsssss, we went crazy with costume day yesterday but now it’s time to show off your rich uncle and aunty fits for
#FaajiFriday
Quote this with your glamorous and luxurious fits😍😍
As someone who consistently devoured books meant for higher grades as a teenager and read the dictionary for fun, this discourse is fascinating, to say the least.
This body is my altar.
This body will not conform to the standards of beauty that you have set.
This body has known shame.
And with every breath I take, I will make sure this body knows no more.
I am soo glad my sense of worth is no longer tied to my academics. This result would have crumbled Year 1 - 3 me. But rn, I know I have sense and I'm great at my job. Das all.
The way a lot of you treat writers is despicable. Poor pay coupled with ridiculous deadlines and a nice sprinkle of condescension.
"Is it not just writing?"
"I can always find other writers."
"It's too expensive."
Silly people.
Cab men inside unilag aren’t accepting old notes anymore and if you have new notes, they won’t have change or give you old notes as change. Okan gbo gbo yin o ni bale.
I hate how dissociation makes you lose sense of time.
Things that happened yesterday feel like they happened years ago.
Everything in my memory is so foggy and muddled.
I can barely differentiate between what's real or not.

I really don't know. My best friends are women. I don't think it's a gender thing. Just choose the kind of people you want in your life. Saying women are jealous or competitive for no reason is a stereotype in my opinion. Humans are naturally shitty. Be with the few sensible ones
You have been telling women to be careful for years. To try to "avoid getting raped". Yet nothing has changed! Absolutely nothing has changed. Why can't you see that it has never been our fault and it never will be?
Why can't you tell men to stop feeling entitled to our bodies?!

I've had to take jobs like that before but it was because the money was needed.
These people will always find people to work for them because people need the money. :(
What Nigerian feminists are practicing is misandry not true feminism!
I don't care how woke you people are I'm going to cook and clean for my man 🥰
Ladies! Stop posting naked pictures of yourself. No man will marry you! Nudity is not art, please cover up.
If you have a bad memory, don't study law. I've been familiarising myself with these sections & cases since the beginning of the semester, and I'm still struggling lmaooo.
Sometimes, I wonder why people are staring at me on the road and then I remember that my hair is red, I'm not wearing a bra, and I have 3 anklets on one leg.
I guess there are two kinds of people: those who experience unspeakable horror and ask god to take it away. And those who wonder what kind of god allows such pain.
It's the way all your replies have ignored the complete lack of boundaries on the part of the worker.
Are domestic workers often exploited? Yes, but does that translate to an excuse to ignore boundaries and take food without asking? No.
Shikenna.
Lol. You people will complain that Nigerian writers are doing trauma porn. You'll complain about poets. Now speculative fiction? Ori gbogbo yin ti yi, disrespectfully.
This fascination many Nigerian writers have for speculative fiction: Is it truly what they want to write and read? Or is it semi-dictated from the West? Has the latter quietly informed the former?
Nigeria is kicking our ass but you are writing about malformed aliens in Onitsha.
I just want to eat good food and have really good sex and read really good books and watch really good anime and write really good poems. But no, life must stress me.
Remembering that days always always end is a huge comfort for me when I'm having a bad/stressful day. Because I know that the day will end. Because I know I cannot live in that day forever. Eventually, I'll go home and bathe and eat. And the day will end.
