You can't be clamoring for a better country while throwing gala wrappers and Pepsi bottles on the expressway because “there are no public bins”. You’re part of the problem
Preserving the African accent is a vital form of linguistic decolonization that reclaims the continent's original identity, Nigerian media linguistics expert Adetunbowale Babalola told Sputnik Africa.
Embracing this unique speech, rather than conforming to Western norms, is the ultimate goal, Babalola said.
Dear Lord, all our people have asked of you is to worship you freely, and so Lord, you who are enthroned on the praises of your people, we ask that your fierce justice come on those who have designed only death for all who call you Lord.
No other faith dares make this claim, that their God has gone through pain and come out on the other side of it.
So who would you go to for advise, the person who can only advise you hypothetically with nice empty words, or the God with a spear to his side.
You have to choose.
Sometimes I sit with the reality of how unkind this world is to women, and it breaks my heart.
It is one thing for the world to fail women.
It is another thing entirely for people to organise cruelty against women and give it a cultural name.
That is barbarity!
That is evil!

We will give account for every word we speak. Now imagine slandering God by claiming He said something He did not say.
You cannot just say "God said..." every time you have a thought or you have an idea. You better be double sure and tripple sure God actually said it and it's not your just your thoughts.
Because if you're wrong and you spend your life telling lies against God... Oh boy. I don't envy you. You cannot slander a perfect being and go scot free. You cannot spend your life teaching people to call the desires (or even delusions) of their hearts the words of God and not be rewarded for your work.
If you keep saying God said things He did not say, there will be justice.
Late last year has been a rollercoaster, and life hasn’t given me a break since I lost my job. But what’s most paramount to me right now is what I’m about to share with you.
We found out my mom has ovarian cancer. I was in serious disbelief until more tests showed it’s at stage 4, and nothing has been the same since for her.
We’ve already spent a lot on tests and medications to help her regain weight before she starts major treatment. Each day has been pain upon pain for her, and it has broken me into pieces every single day. We’ve spent about ₦1.1M already in total, without the actual procedure even starting.
At this stage, we need ₦15.45M for the next four months for her procedure. The diagnosis and cost breakdown are below this tweet.
I know this is a crazy situation, but please, I want to save my mom. She called me crying in pain, begging if there’s any way I can help her, and this is my only option at the moment. Please, I’m begging with everything in me, help me. Either by donating or retweeting, it will go a long way.
Please, #SaveTinaFromCancer 🙏
Too many Nigerians are desensitised to the idea that Yahoo boys are actually criminals. Yahoo isn't a job. It's a crime. It's a disgrace how many content creators are essentially legitimising Yahoo. Smh.
While we encourage people to take ownership of their lives, the language we use matters. It is unfair to label those struggling to find a job as lazy. Many of us have spent countless hours sending hundreds of cold emails and exploring every possible strategy. Those whose palm kernels were cracked for them by a benevolent spirit should not forget to be humble.
