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.

BTW having s£x with the same gender in your 20s doesn’t make you gay. That’s what your 20s are for—experimenting.
It’s only gay when you clock 30🙂↕️🙂↕️
There is a trending video of a pastor saying that women are the reason for homosexuality because when they are pregnant and are hoping they’re having a girl, the male fetus begins to think it’s a girl and ends up homosexual.
This is a stupid lie (I can’t believe I have to say it), but beyond the lie, there is something more sinister going on.
This is a classic case of religious men constantly ensuring that women remain victims. It is a sinister move the church has pulled for many years to keep women in “their place.” The system is simple: you provide more things for women to feel guilty about and it gives men more control over these women and their emotions.
Not only is this pastor’s misinformation very stupid, it has provided another opportunity for his gullible members to harm their wives by accusing them of birthing homosexual children.
The church is not the friend of a woman, stay away from these people.
Hate to be that guy, but I'll say it
It’s striking how, in so many r4pe cases that make it to the internet, the alleged perpetrators often appear completely untouched, with no signs that anyone tried to harm them. But let two consenting adult men be caught together, and suddenly you’ll see crowds of Nigerian men willing to beat them to the brink of death. The contrast in public outrage says a lot about what society chooses to respond to.

His father who unfortunately survived the transplant never attended his wake/funeral.
Rest in peace Gabriel Barros.
Tomorrow on this same app, nobody knows a rapist, there’s no rapist in anyone’s circle, women are exaggerating. Once there’s beef involved, “you were always raping women”. God help women in this world, just know that we will never shut up. Bcuz all of us know the truth
Just tell me you want to be useless and a deadbeat.
One idiot is even saying it is a sign of poor upbringing, yes I agree, your parents failed you that's why they need that validation from you.
Nigerians are so unbelievable & entitled.
Because tell me why full grown adults are expecting dependent minors to thank them for doing the barest minimum, no one begged you to fuck & give birth. Someone's like " they could chose not to feed you or it's not a must they feed you"
The first shock of my life as a Nigerian while growing up was when I went to some of my friends’ houses and I discovered that they used to thank their parents after eating.
