People are complaining about influencers replacing journalists, but the actual journals can’t even be bothered to Google “UK charts top 10” to stay up to date.

Somethings wrong with the current modus operandi in music, streaming, radio, and sales. Because as someone who works in and around music, media, and entertainment, I’ve never heard of this song a day in my life. Clusters of people in the quotes haven’t either.

@data_barbs Also, the Nigerian diaspora here is so large and well-established that I think we can see some class differences. I remember a tweet saying there was a difference between North London Nigerians and Woolwich / South London Nigerians

@data_barbs Let me add another tier - those born here and have a parent / parents born here

@akua_obeng42840 100% I said this last year

To be loved like mamdani you have to actually do something about the dying nightlife in the UK not just get an intern to write witty tweets about it

[StevenO @StevenO_94]

@TDHBXG Because of power dynamics - usually the person buying has more power (age, money, status) than the person selling, which can lead to exploitation

[StevenO @StevenO_94]

It’s genuinely fascinating to me how the entertainment and political elites of every non-white country never look like 90% of their compatriots

Old Bollywood used to serve face as if rent was due

@FLOTUK @_graceymae People who be called ‘foodies’, are curious about Nigerian food and would normally spend £££ for a multi-course meal (maybe with a wine pairing) at a similarly positioned restaurant.

I think Enish and 805 have a more Nigerian demog, as they’re more ‘authentic’

@GlobeTucker92 Est-ce ouvert aux anglophones ? 🇬🇧

[StevenO @StevenO_94]

@SteveKabuye5 Valid, because look at South Africa, which is more tolerant of the lgbt community vs how they treat Nigerians

[StevenO @StevenO_94]

@hollanderxshane Is it just me does he look like a white Michael B Jordan?

[StevenO @StevenO_94]

@sahilk It’s also the same with the houses of rich Africans. They’ll splurge on decorating the living spaces, but kitchen will be near decrepit because only the help use them. Completely the opposite in the west, where for rich people, kitchens are status symbols

@Funminz I visited in December 2023 for the first time in 18 years and had a great time, but I didn’t go to any clubs!

@himbopresident With overworked data analysts exporting SQL datasets before handing over to the creative department to finalise on Canva 😭

[StevenO @StevenO_94]

@theashrb I once saw someone try to start an intra-regional diaspora war between north London Nigerians and Greenwich Nigerians 🤣

[StevenO @StevenO_94]

@jbmypn @piouslila That makes so much sense. I know that in the UK, there were even pro-black Sunday schools started by West Indian immigrants.

[StevenO @StevenO_94]

@piouslila Thank you. This was very interesting. I’ve heard Caribbean education is more pro-black, even though certain islands have issues with bleaching. Is this true and do you think it plays a part?

[StevenO @StevenO_94]

@luveyaw @ProlificH1 Obviously I’m not debating your very valid experiences, but my point is that there are many BW in the Caribbean and LatAm with tighter textures, who don’t wear wigs, which is what I’m curious about
