is a reminder that
abuse is not linear
it is not black and white
it is not a perfect story
and victims don’t have to be
pure and perfect to be believed.
#BabyReindeer
daughters are not punishment.
harm will not befall them
so that their fathers can learn.
it will not happen to the women in his life
it will happen to him.
if he did not feel empathy after all women go through in this world, he will not feel it if it happens to his daughter.
i loosened
my classmate’s new
isi owu hair during break.
told her i was an expert hairdresser. baby went home
looking like a scarecrow.
her mum came to shout the next day
and i just stood there like😟
Today is Jamb examination, I don't know why parents follow a grown up to the exam centre. will you follow them to the university when they finally gain admission? Which kind of parenting style is that one?
hi
my name is
Uzoamaka Aniunoh.
i’m an actor
and a writer
and i occasionally do
spoke word poetry
at open mics
where i make sure
there’re no familiar faces
in the audience.
❤️
my annoyance
with pick-me women
is that the men you support
WILL tear you apart
and it’s the women
you fought to be picked over
who will pick you up
and mend you piece by piece.
fools.
the woman is a sexual being.
not your mother
not your role model
that you put on a pedestal
and crucify for not
meeting your expectations.
the woman is a person
and will not die after 30.
bury your discomfort + disgust
because the woman will forever
be a whole, entire being.
the afro hair on our heads did not come out of the scalp before they sent us off to barber’s to cut it.
But Fiona and co had ponytails with ribbons and all.
Oh and they didn’t flog them o, delicate skin and all that. Smfh!
if your PU is at Northern Forshore
come and vote naaaa
abeg naaa!!!!
we’re done voting.
now just waiting to count and go.
come and vote, PLEASE.
don’t be discouraged! sigh!
congratulations brilliant girl.
also, please know
that the people talking crap
about you being a feminist
are supremely insignificant
both trivially and in the grand scheme of things.
bask in all your glory.
you did that!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
my partner
really goes grocery shopping
settles into their kitchen
cooks food + soup
packs them
drives to mine
and puts them in my fridge
so i don’t use laziness
to starve myself to death.
okwa enjoyment galore
ka m no n’ya like this 😌🤭
hello world!
i did a thing that scared me
and i did it scared, still!
i wrote a short film, and i directed it.
in this photo, there’s my sound man
my creative producer and my cinematographer looking at the mood-board for a shot i absolutely wanted.
more to come. god is good!
yes. omg, yes.
it’s why i will forever and ever
support vocal feminists, angry women, women who call out, who shout.
not keeping quiet about these things
is so important but extremely draining.
sigh.

yes he was hard to root for.
sometimes you wanted to smack him.
but this is life
this is what it means to be human.
we excuse things we should not
we tolerate people we should not
and if we were filmed being ourselves in real time, we’d want to smack us too.

my love to audacious women
the loud women,
the noisy and nosy women
the disruptive women
who stand up and speak up
for themselves and for others.
may life continue
to conspire in your favour.
may it always, always
be well with you.❤️
women are not collateral damage
they’re not the lessons men need to learn.
it will not happen to his sisters.
women’s sufferings have never taught men empathy, look around you!
Dickson and his cohorts are unbelievably stupid.
Calling people that are seeking for justice for the poor innocent girl murderers is insane.
Yes the boy should be put down and not rehabilitated.
When it happens to any of their sisters, they should pledge rehabilitation for
there should be
google maps got potholes
in this country sha.
“in 200 kilometers
there’s an earthquake-like pothole
in the middle of the road,
go back home to avoid it”.
sigh, poor boy went to protest but quickly ran back home. he was also afraid of being targeted by his fellow protesters for ‘acting feminine’.
there’s layers and layers to this oppression.
every single human being in this country deserves a chance, everyone!!!

this country is a scary place.
videos of real time rigging
videos of party thugs intimidating people.
videos of police officers snatching ballot boxes.
videos of people being disenfranchised.
and nothing is being done.
Jesus!
i have been unfollowed by about 100 people since i started actively tweeting about
#EndSarsNow
i’m sorry i am disrupting your pretty timeline.
forgive me, the country is trying to swallow us whole and we are fighting to stay alive.
take care now.
❤️
if i told lies so brazenly
on national tv
my sister would call me
like is your head correct?
my friends will visit
to understand wtf is wrong with me.
their disappointment in me
would destroy me.
do these people not have that?
i cannot for the life of me
understand them.
Congratulations to the
#AMVCA9

Full list here
it’s the silence
of all the people
whose only comment
was not to lose friendships
because of politics
for me.
you see what’s been happening?
and you’re saying nothing?
ah, god.
the problem
is in thinking that
somehow
if you’re good enough
nice enough
decent looking enough
something, anything enough
you’ll be exempt.
you will not be.
you will never be enough.
you are just as disposable
as the ones you helped shame.
