Growing up in a predominantly black country makes a huge difference. When I was growing up there were no white people in positions of power around me and the only place I heard the n word was on tv. Actually the only white people I spent anytime around worked for my father. So the n word meant nothing to me.
First time someone called me a nigger in Canada, I understood the insult on a strictly intellectual level and was quite annoyed cause I knew they meant to offend me but I didn’t feel it viscerally.
Ten years of living amongst the #fffff later, if you called me a nigger, I’d physically fight you and deal with the consequences.
Today, I will make sure you see the inside of a court room for a hate crime.
The difference is lived experience.
This is why I have zero sympathy for Elrufai......
These guys knowingly go into office to become as obnoxious as possible.
When Wike's time eventually comes, he will also be on his own...

I learned the word ‘sobriquet’ from the subtitle of a Yoruba film. The same film misspelt veranda like so “ferranda”
In less than 5 minutes too. Makes you wonder.
This movie perfectly summarizes what we debate about every day on social media. Until you live this reality, you may never truly understand it. Unfortunately, many women are trapped in this madness and continue to make excuses for it.
What you repeatedly allow may become what you’re expected to endure for the rest of your life. That’s why it’s important to be clear and insistent about the kind of partnership you want.
My husband and I both work corporate 9-to-5 jobs. We have two children, and neither person’s career is more important than the other’s. I completed my MS program as a wife and mother because I refuse to be left behind while everyone else moves forward. We are a team.
In the morning, we wake up and head in different directions. He goes to the kids’ room to get them ready while I head downstairs to clean up and prepare breakfast.
In my absence, he can microwave the food I’ve already cooked, bathe the kids, dress them, and take care of whatever needs to be done. And my “absence” doesn’t always have to mean I’m doing something important. I could be running errands, at the gym, enjoying the spa, or simply taking personal time for myself without worrying that everything at home will fall apart.
The same applies when he’s absent. The house will continue to function 100%.
Nobody is “helping” the other person raise their own children or manage their own home. We are both responsible for the family we created.
That is partnership!
