To all the women under that academic thread.
One sentence for you all- Loke Loke Lola Kunfayakun.
You all will not fall or stumble and it will keep getting better for you.
I’m super duper inspired ❤️
As a partner to somebody and parent to somebody, some things should naturally give you joy to do.
Looking after your child. Giving your child a bath, changing nappies, feeding them, playing/spending time with them. Driving them to school. You should be happy to cook for your family, you should clean up your home, you live in it with your family. You should be happy to drive your partner to the airport to bid them off and be happy to pick them up. If you have one car, you should be happy to drop them off at work and pick them up - in view of convenience. You should be happy to invest your finances to the family so you can pay bills conveniently and plan your investments together. The list is endless but being marriage simply means doing life together. It is a merger not an adoption or acquisition.
You need to do away with that "you're a man" and "you're a woman" nonsense. You're an adult and adulthood comes with personal responsibility. You are somebody's wife/husband and that comes with responsibility. You're somebody's parent and that comes with responsibility.
Being a woman is not an excuse to be financially useless in the family. Being a man is not an excuse why you cannot give your baby a bath and change nappies. All of these things should naturally happen with joy. You should be able to do these things individually as a bachelor and spinster, so when you commit to each other, you do them together.
Marriage is not rocket science. You are just deliberately evil to your partner and irresponsible to your home.
Two people came back from school. Only one person was tasked with making soup for the family. The other wasn’t even expected to help carry plates, or assist in any way.
This is how entitled men are raised. They grow up believing domestic work is a woman’s responsibility, so they can sit at home or return from work hours before their wife and still expect her to come home and cook because it’s not their duty
A WARNING TO THE PRESIDENT @officialABAT , GOVERNMENT @NigeriaGov , @nassnigeria@NGRSenate@HouseNGR Governors’ Forum @NGFSecretariat and State Houses of Assembly AND THE NIGERIAN POLITICAL CLASS OF NIGERIA AT LARGE:
DO NOT DARE WISH OUR CHILDREN “HAPPY CHILDREN’S DAY” TODAY .
To the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Vice President, the Governors of the 36 States, the Federal Executive Council, the Members of the National Assembly, the State Houses of Assembly, and the entire political class that has captured and destroyed the Nigeria State:
Do not dare.
Do not dare open your mouths on May 27 to wish Nigerian children a “Happy Children’s Day.” Do not dare release the recycled, ghost-written platitudes your media handlers have already drafted. Do not dare stand in front of cameras, surrounded by carefully arranged children in matching uniforms, to perform a tenderness you have never extended to the millions of Nigerian children you have abandoned, betrayed, and condemned to lives of suffering.
You have no moral standing to wish anything to Nigerian children. None.
Consider what you are dishonorably wishing them.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 39 students and 7 teachers seized only days ago, on 15 May 2026, from a secondary school and two primary schools in Ahoro Esinele community in Oriire district of Oyo State- children aged between two and sixteen , snatched from the southwest in a chilling expansion of a terror that you swore would be confined to the north.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 25 schoolgirls of the Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School in Maga, Wasagu/Danko, Kebbi State, taken from their hostel at dawn on 18 November 2025, after gunmen killed the vice principal and most of whom are still missing as I write.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 303 students and 12 teachers of St. Mary’s Catholic Primary and Secondary School in Papiri, Niger State, seized on 21 November 2025 - children aged 10 to 18, boys and girls- whose abduction forced more than 20,000 Nigerian schools to close indefinitely .
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 287 students of the Government Secondary School in Kuriga, Kaduna State, taken by gunmen on motorcycles on 7 March 2024 in broad daylight while you and your political colleagues posed for swearing-in photographs.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 15 children of Gidan Bakuso, Sokoto State, seized from their boarding school on 9 March 2024 as they slept.
You are wishing to the Chibok girls- over 90 of whom are still missing, twelve years after April 14, 2014, while you have moved on, and for your repugnant luxury, speedily rebuilt and redecorated Aso Villa, bought opulent hideous cars, and rotated power among yourselves as if those girls never existed. But their parents who gave birth to them continue to grieve and daily rain curses on the evil leaders that have shown no empathy towards them and their abducted daughters.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the children of Dapchi, Kankara, Kagara, Jangebe, Afaka, Greenfield, Bethel Baptist, Tegina - and to the many whose abductions never made the headlines because Nigeria had run out of capacity to grieve.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the at least 1,799 students seized in a dozen of the largest abductions since Chibok , and to the 670 children affected by at least 10 school kidnappings in less than two years - a litany of horror compiled not by your security agencies, but by international human rights organisations doing the work your government refuses to do.
Part One ………..
Today, Children’s Day is dedicated to the Ogbomoso Children.
To the children in the forests.
To the children without safety, without protection.
To the children who now fear the same classrooms that should have held their dreams.
Children deserve safety.
They deserve care.
They deserve love from the country they call home.
This can never become our new normal.💔
If any of these kids get r@ped or beaten by any chance… God 😭😭😭 my chest is so heavy.
We have failed these kids. God, forgive me if I didn’t lend my voice enough.
