Yesterday's protest at the Lagos House of Assembly with @WARNigeria

I translated the Chilean protest chant to pidgin which is what we used for the protest

"And the fault no be my own, no be my cloth or where I dey
THE RAPIST NA YOU"

This tweet makes the following flyer dropped off in my mail even funnier

It's weird being part of a generation where the signifiers of adulthood--home ownership, stable job, etc.--got so unattainable we had to make our own signifiers, except ours are internal: acting emotionally mature.

And now very few of our elders actually qualify as adults to us.

[Blessing Ofia-Inyinya Nwodo @BlessingONwodo]

Horrifying. Just appalling.

Years back, I wrote a speculative short story where something like this occurs. By the time it’s published, one might refer to this incident as inspiration when it wasn’t supposed to be.

There’s no dystopian fiction now, only reality.

[Blessing Ofia-Inyinya Nwodo @BlessingONwodo]

@ijay_wayawaya Yes oo

[Blessing Ofia-Inyinya Nwodo @BlessingONwodo]

#HappyPrideMonth Yes I know it’s already July😁

This video explores that phenomenon where something that makes no sense is actually the correct answer to a question. I hope you enjoy watching this, almost as much as I enjoyed making it😁https://t.co/4st2zbjwxm via @YouTube

It’s so funny how men are missing the point of this. If random women would rather choose a bear over you, surely, something is wrong with your behaviour? But no, nothing could ever be wrong with the behaviour of an almighty ‘alpha male’

[Tshepi @TsitsiNotha]

There is this interesting question on TikTok. Would you rather be stuck in the woods with a MAN or a BEAR. Most women chose BEAR. Now question, moved to would you rather your child be stuck in the woods with a BEAR or MAN. Even for fathers, choosing a MAN is not easy

Just out here reminding y'all with a post from 2020 that I was a big fan of the South Korean 4B movement before it started trending🤞🏿

@timidyorubagirl Happy birthday babe🎉🌹🥳

[Blessing Ofia-Inyinya Nwodo @BlessingONwodo]

Is there an organization that can help this woman please? What kind of crazy witch hunt is this. Why can’t she write a review against a food brand? This Erisco company must be moving mad. If she had money or connections, we won’t even be having this conversation.

Saw this yesterday. Someone is selling air from Beyoncé’s event on marketplace 🤣

[Blessing Ofia-Inyinya Nwodo @BlessingONwodo]

I’ll be reading my work online at the @ewreadingseries hosted by @emily_kellogg and @mackenziehwiebe. Fun fact about this series is that I’ve been on the other end as a host in the past.
Would love to see you there! Link will be posted closer to the date😁

Went and had a chat with @vivekshraya at Queen books. Straightforward and insightful as always. Vivek spoke to us online when I was still at the University of Guelph MFA in 2021. I wasn’t even in Canada then. It was definitely awesome to interact in person😁

Paddleboarding is so peaceful😁 At some point, I laid down and drifted to the other side

[Blessing Ofia-Inyinya Nwodo @BlessingONwodo]

It's my birthday ✌🏿🎉🥳

Men will say cooking is for women and turn around to dominate all the paid spaces for the thing they said is not labour. I think about all the unpaid labour women do, and I shudder.

[The Female Quotient @femalequotient]

Did you know that woman make up less than 25% of professional chefs, and only 6% lead Michelin star restaurants?

Nigerian head chef and founder of Chishuru restaurant, Adejoké Bakare, was awarded a Michelin star for her restaurant’s modern take on West African cuisine. 👏

[Blessing Ofia-Inyinya Nwodo @BlessingONwodo]

74 years. If this is what the leadership looks like, now think about normal participation and how hard it is for anyone Black. In this 2024, I will be shaming any organization that thinks it’s a flex to announce anything “First Black or First Woman balderdash…”

[MEFeater Magazine @mefeater]

Red carpet royalty indeed! @Lupita_Nyongo shines at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival in a custom #Gucci ensemble, making history as the first Black jury head in the festival's 74-year legacy. A trailblazer on and off the red carpet! 💕
