Maturing is realizing they never burned witches. They burned midwives, healers, herbalists, and knowledgeable women.
Women who understood medicine, nature, and their own autonomy. Women whose knowledge threatened patriarchal control. The "witch hunts" were never about magic, they were about silencing women who couldn't be controlled.
@kizzriee Wars are named after the country attacked: you have Vietnam War, Iraq War, Afghanistan War, Iran War... That's because if they were named after the attacker, it would be too confusing, since 80% of conflicts would be called the US war.
He’s fucking a family member or a man. Or he is raping a child. If it’s not anything sexual…he murdered someone. All I know is something incriminating is in there.
You want to stay home, bake sourdough and have 9 kids? Wonderful!
But if another woman wants to go to med school and become the ob-gyn who helps you deliver those 9 kids, you don't get to guilt or shame her for HER CHOICE.
Today, I experienced one of the most traumatic moments of my life.
I had gone to a friend’s place to lend him my MacBook charger because I stay in Ikorodu his charger had stopped working. After leaving his place and heading home, I was stopped by men who identified themselves as Nigerian police officers. They were not dressed in standard police uniforms, which made the situation even more frightening.
I was forcefully pushed into my car, accused of being a cultist without any evidence, and subjected to intimidation. My phone was searched, I was threatened, and I was repeatedly told that if I did not cooperate, I would be shot, killed, or have my car taken away.
They drove me around to different locations, including from Ikorodu to ketu under a bridge, while continuing to threaten me. Under fear for my life, I was forced to open my banking apps and make transfers. In total, about ₦700,000 was taken from my account through coercion. They wanted me to pay them 5 million which I don’t even have, They also forced me to call friends and demand money from them, insisting that I raise millions of naira despite having committed no crime.
This was not a voluntary transaction. Every action I took was because I genuinely feared for my life.
I am sharing this video because no Nigerian should have to experience this. No one should be threatened with weapons, intimidated, or forced to hand over their hard earned money by people who are supposed to protect them.
I am reporting this incident to the appropriate authorities and financial institutions, and I hope those responsible are identified and held accountable.
Please help me by sharing this until it reaches the right people. This has to stop.

“Your hatred got nothing on me. I swear to God, I’m frustrated. People want me to be thinking. They want me to quit my career. Am I the only one? I know Ycee’s music but I don’t know his face. These celebrities message me for PR but it’s my management that always reply them and give them my rate card; when they see that they can’t pay me because it’s too expensive, they go on podcast to shade me.”

Boarding school accused me of sneaking out and called my dad. He came, asked one question: “Did you do it?” I said no.
He turned to the disciplinary committee and said, “Then my daughter didn't do it.” While other parents were beating their kids,
