It’s been a little over a year since Olandria Carthen, a 28-year-old elevator saleswoman from Alabama, became a fan favorite on season seven of Love Island USA. And though she didn’t win the competition, she’s playing the long game. “I want this to last a lifetime,” she says of building an entertainment career post-Fiji. “I want this very moment to last so I can build generational wealth for my kids, my grandkids, from just me going on a reality show.” Read the full interview with Olandria: https://t.co/vqEKvTrohi

It's early but
Embarrassment is very effective in the implementation of the patriarchy, you have to be shameless and not give a damn
Small talk, everybody's already declaring how they'd stay at home
I don't know if I said that right but you shouldn't be that easily subdued nau
Y’all have never hung around far-right white women, and it shows. She’ll live in a liberal city, have gay friends and a Black or Brown boyfriend, then vote MAGA with her whole chest.
If you can recognise that "gele is gele", why can you not recognise that other tribes and ethnicities have words for their head gear too?
I speak Igala and in my language, any head tie is called "ugbogbo", same way Yorubas say gele and Igbos say ichafu.
Why are you people so tribalistic fgs?

This tweet accidentally explains one of the deepest problems with Nigerian education.
We have confused early literacy with early intelligence.
A 5 year old kid reading and writing before everyone isn’t impressive. Childhood development is not a race to finish the ABC. Those early years should be about building curiosity, creativity, problem-solving, communication and independent thinking.
Let them build things. Draw nonsense. Play games. Solve puzzles. Ask annoying questions. Learn to disagree and explain why.
Then reading, writing and maths become tools for a mind that has already started learning how to THINK.
And Twitter is probably the funniest evidence of what happens when we get this backwards 😂
Every day you meet people here who can read and write beautifully. Big grammar sef.
But comprehension? Omo.
You write A. They read B. They argue passionately against C. Then 4,000 people retweet aggressively 😭
That is the tragedy.
Literacy is not the same thing as education. Being able to read is useless if you were never taught how to think.
