This is also my first piece for a British mag. International Culture Journalist and all that 🤭
Tell me why this driver asked me to wipe something off my face, I do and he said “he never commot” I wipe again and this man said “na your beauty now you no fit wipe am commot” 😂😂😂😂
It’s super ridiculous to come here and lie that this woman wasn’t erased from history. Talking about we should have read more. I didn’t need to read to know what Nnamdi Azikiwe or Herbert Macaulay did. That’s the difference . Don’t lie.
Their podcast is even a comedy podcast. Man, do you know what listening
@ISWISPodcast
to did for me in 2022 when depression wanted to kill me. Man, I remember to laugh each time I listen to them. Pls abeg. This need to demonize creative ventures, stop it pls
My Odeluwaaa🥹🥹🥹😍😍😍 There are not enough words in the dictionary to describe what this experience means to me. Look at her holding my hand in the third slide😩😩 Excuse me while I go ugly cry again😩
@danielokey_
Lol don’t do that. She was indeed erased from history. In Civic and current affairs classes, they told us what Nnamdi Azikiwe did, what Herbert Macaulay did but when it came to a woman who did more, all they had to say was “first woman to drive a car” this is not a reading issue
Not cancellable but if someone says they are into celibacy, stop trying to convince them to have sex. They didn't try to convince you to hop on the celibacy train.

@ISWISPodcast
People narrated their ordeal on that podcast, there’s evidence of this thing your government tried to erase on that “carnal” podcast. Don’t piss me off!!
Do you guys remember when the men said they should do their own festival and the men were saying never and listed violence and other reasons for not wanting any male centered festivals? Lmao

My relative slapped his wife because she gave him soup in a "wrong plate" Everytime it's not about cooking or chores blah blah but women are getting hit cos of said chores. Also I think more people need to understand that the feminism fight is different for middle class women as
Listen, I hate this with so much passion. My relative smashed his wifes head in 2009 with a pestle because she served him “achicha” late at night. She was 3 weeks postpartum. Insisting that defined gender roles is not a conversation that is important is coming from a place of -
What's the best thing about being creative?
Conjuring something from all the things that form you, the things whispered, the things heard, the opinions form the things seen, the things lived, the things thought. It's a type of miracle.

I think the last episode or so, they mentioned that teacher’s ex wife😂😂 but I do think the writing for them this season sucks. I think they are gonna end together in the finale
First of all, I’m so stunned that this is a debut. Unlike the title, the writing is steady, firmly rooted. This book is many things, love, pain, motherhood, immigration, identity, it’s everything. Not gonna lie when I picked it up after reading a short synopsis on Goodreads,

Makes you feel less and start wondering I something is wrong with you. Messes with your self esteem. It doesn't sting a little, it stings alot
Romcom: sport star and sport journalist. 6 years ago they met each other at the start of their careers,they dated and broke up cos life and being in your 20s. Now he is the cover star for the new magazine she works with and she has been taxed with profiling him.

@pauliebleek3r
Nah Jacob was quite frankly looking down on the romcom genre. I also think Kissing Booth is god awful but that interview he was dissing the genre
You guys!! I did something! For Moda Culture, I interviewed the amazing

It's not totally false. Growing up first born girls are given more responsibilities than first born boys and that's cos there's a mentality that the girls need to be trained for marriage and I think that's what he's referring to.

Baby girl any man who does not acknowledge you as his equal is someone you want nothing with. I’m talking as someone who’s been entangled with a misogynistic man. His views about women will seep into your relationship and he will treat you the way he sees women. Basically, you
In the words of the great philosopher Bruno Mars: I'm too hot. Make a dragon wanna retire man, I'm too hot. Hot damn!

Omo all this shows never ignore the signs, what you can't tolerate in the relationship won't magically disappear in marriage. Learn to choose yourself always.
The first of many..... Today we were able to give fifty resusable pads to fifty girls. We educated them on menstrual hygiene, how to use resusable pads and sexual violence. This is something I am really proud 😊 you can still support us btw. 1007116247, VFD microfinance bank.
it is different for low income and rich women. Even with race it differs. White women's fight for rights is different from Black women's fight. The end goal is to get rights but some women are indeed in a better place (still horrible) than others. Race and Class determines this.
@ozzyetomi
I don't think her tweet implies that. She seems genuinely curious, probably cos in her circle, there's no one like that. Our experiences kinda dictate how we perceive the world
Still can't believe this. Simple simple English is now AI speak??? So if you have the vocabulary of someone who reads beyond chapter books you're going to be accused of using AI?
