@JohnsonIsLovely The first is more valid because Mikey becoming the last surviving turtle is sort of like surviving a landmine that blew up the guy in front of you. It's more of just happening not to be at the wrong place at the wrong time than anything else
@CecredDavis Your body builds itself for different purposes, it's the same way a swimmer naturally looks different from a runner
You might be able to lift his body weight but you definitely aren't keeping up with him in endurance
@HeartsofOak1939@pizzacatlover_ No dialect is easily comprehensible to a non-speaker as long as the grammar and vocabulary deviates from the standard, that's how language in general is
As Nigerians, we need to develop a greater sense of self-awareness.
Beyond the way many Nigerians constantly de-market the country online for social media validation, we also know how some of our compatriots conduct themselves in other African countries and the negative impressions their behaviour creates.
Personally, I am not surprised by the disrespect Nigerians sometimes face abroad. That doesn't mean I will tolerate it from anyone, but I would be dishonest to pretend I don't understand where some of these perceptions come from.
We cannot constantly ridicule our country, denigrate our passport, and turn every "japa" experience into content designed to humiliate Nigeria, then act shocked when others begin to see us through that same lens.
Criticising Nigeria is one thing; making a spectacle of its shortcomings for validation is another.
So, the next time you feel the urge to publicly trash the country for likes and engagement, remember that you may be contributing to the very disrespect you complain about.
National pride doesn't require pretending our problems don't exist. It requires understanding that how we speak about our country, and how we conduct ourselves abroad, have consequences.
@RockehBloo It dropped a brick on Alex's head, you could tell it didn't even care about theatrics or elaborate plans anymore it just wanted him gone before he went into hiding again😂😂
Can minorities stop saying "this is why ppl hate us" or "this is setting us back" when someone does smth mildly cringe. Bigots hate you bc you're a minority not bc ur cringe
@hemohobgoblin@cosmicNuisane8 Getting angry at something like that just feels like pointless nitpicking considering the custodes creation process is less known than that of the astartes
@frntbuff_ The love of his life told him to his face that she doesn't love him and he had to Uber her home because he's a good person, he would have turned the first purse snatcher he saw to mashed potatoes
