#FahimSaleh Fahim Saleh’s death is the reason a healthy dose of paranoia is necessary when dealing with people, especially those ones you’ve caught in the act or whom you can’t trust anymore.
This is why I will never support this guy to be LASG governor. He's focused on this old school populist stuff, instead of thinking of how to build a modern Lagos. Talk about where you will resettle people, no need to stop progress.
America doesn't get it. We are not offended by the tariffs. Trade could have been negotiated without a fraction of the bad blood. It is the constant "51st State" and "governor" talk, while his people snicker. We became a country in 1867, specifically not to be American. 1/2
Better remove that “I grew up in a town with no flowing water” from your personal statement and start working on your CGPA to match the best of the world’s best.

I don’t want to believe that eleven thousand Yoruba people don’t understand English, but that’s what the responses to the original tweet are demonstrating I fear.
Your name Oluwaseyi means God made this.
In combination with your gorgeous picture, that is a natural compliment in the name.
The statement “Your name doesn’t do your beauty justice” means “Your name already suggests that you are beautiful, but your actual appearance blows even that suggestion away”
i.e. you are more beautiful than even your name suggests.
You people will fail both TOEFL and IELTS.
Even WAEC English, you will fail that too.
What the hell is going on in Nigeria’s education system???
Men are suppose to be leaders, the head of the household. So, you want to be with someone who can lead you in the direction you want to go. If you’re waiting for someone that is not happening, that man is not a leader or wants to lead you anyway. And if you’re with someone and you’re confused on where y’all are going cause he isn’t telling you, that’s your que to leave
One whole side of the David/Bathsheeba story I never noticed until I interacted with Asian Christians?
Uriah knew everything.
It’s obvious when you read the story in a culture closer to the text. The folks I interacted with were a few generations removed from emperors and concubines and court politics.
The king doesn’t send for the most beautiful woman in the city when her husband is away without the neighbors knowing. In those cultures, if it is POSSIBLE that you could have been alone together as a man and a woman, then you slept together. It was assumed and known. People talk.
Uriah knew.
He was called back from the front, and was given a big dinner by the king, and told to relax and go sleep with his wife. He replied that his conscience couldn’t bear it with the soldiers of Israel still in the field.
This is court political talk.
Just like pharaoh and Moses debating in public about the sacrificial festival in the wilderness, both sides know exactly what is being really debated. There is stuff that can’t be directly acknowledged in public to save face, but it’s obvious to anyone in the know. Moses is demanding to take the Israelites for good. David is insisting that Uriah cover for David impregnating his wife.
Uriah knows he can’t publicly accuse the king of what they both knew he did. But Uriah would rather die than play the cuckold. So he makes some big righteous excuse for never being home alone with his wife, thus making it impossible for anyone to say that the child is his.
Uriah knows this means death. David knows this means death. The two of them understand each other.
Uriah is looking him in the eye and saying, “I can’t do anything to you, you dishonorable bastard, but I’ll be damned if I play along and cover for you. Do your worst—finish your dirty work.”
David coldly says in his eyes, “so you have chosen death.”
Uriah isn’t a clueless goody two shoes sap. He’s a man of honor and a tragic hero.
