I haven't been on twitter today - but someone brought a few of my old tweets to my attention and I can't not address it.
14 years ago, I was 23, so I was definitely not a child. I'm not here to make excuses because I don't have anything to make excuses for. What I can't let anyone do is twist my story to fit false narratives.
In 2012, I lived and helped out at my mom's daycare while I was hustling my music. I tweeted everything that happened in my life, as we all did at the time. Kids can be mischievous. If a child did something I found funny, I tweeted about it. Kids are cute and lovable. I want to hug, kiss and cuddle them. I tweet about it. Nothing I tweeted was from perversion.
I was not famous, so maybe if I was, I would have understood that anything is open to whatever interpretation including being used falsely by a faceless mob. I've never been depraved in my life. You can retweet all the tweets in the world about me loudly crushing on people I admire/d. Or being a cheeky young woman. I wasn't trying to hide it, because I don't have anything to hide.
My team has been deleting some of my tweets because of how sensitive it is for my family. To be honest, I did not want to. I have always spoken against rape and sexual assault even before you knew I existed. It's not a costume I'm wearing, it's who I am. I've never claimed to be perfect. I've never claimed to know everything. I said stop raping women. I stand by it.
Before you slide into my DMs please note .
I’m a financially independent woman that will still eat your money.
I’m not taking on a charity case because I’m not one .
I’m not spending on a man that doesn’t do it first.
I’m a gold digger .
I’m not an understanding wife/gf.
I don’t subscribe to 50/50 but I will still contribute.
I like a highly educated, intelligent and hardworking man .
If you’re quick to anger avoid my DMs , I’m a first born daughter .
If you decide that Nigeria is where you belong, I will travel out and leave you.
Thank you.
I don’t think women don’t want to “submit” to men, thing is to most men, submission means “I’m above you, I have the final say” “you have to respect me cos I’m a man” and nobody wants that in a partnership cos they won’t be respected
If you respect your woman, if you love her the right way, you won’t have to tell her to submit, she’ll let you lead on her own accord. Women don’t want to lead men, they only step up when the man fails to lead or when it becomes a rulership
BREAKING: A First Bank customer, Ojo Eghosa Kingsley, has been convicted and sentenced to one year in prison (or a fine of N5 million) for refusing to refund the N1.5 billion mistakenly credited to his account. He reportedly informed the court he preferred jail time to paying back the remaining balance.
I met a first daughter who told me she loves men who don’t just accept anything, men who don’t get bossed around, men who lead and she follows. Whats funny is, this babe loves to boss people around and when you don’t do what she says, her mood changes.
Made me understand something about first daughters, if you don’t lead, she will lead, and her leading makes you less attractive to her
“I have a petition written on behalf of the family of Late Ochanya Ogbanje, the petition is on the refusal to arrest and prosecute Victor and Andrew Ogbanje”

Nigeria is currently run by a lawless regime that relies on criminals and thugs more interested in enriching themselves than in taking care of their citizens. Cowboy up.
Just to clarify the misconception of some ignorant people…
- A Christian extremist will die for you.
- A Muslim extremist will kill you.
And thus ends today’s lesson in comparative religion.
