Not to be that person, but our literary/visual understanding of romantic expressions as Africans are very much defined by white standards. Yes, even in love, we are colonised.
Otherwise what concerns an African woman with hair tucking? Her Afro (or braids) don’t move that way 😭
One sentence; You go just die for nothing, let me explain:
People always have this misunderstanding that a census means you have to count every single individual, but that’s not even remotely how a modern census works. No census counts every single person; it’s always an informed statistical estimate. The population numbers quoted by reputable organisations like the UN aren’t some wild conspiracy, and I’ll show you why.
The easiest real-world identifier that we are already well above 220 million is the current NIN data. NIMC has registered roughly 137 million unique NINs. That database is heavily skewed toward adults (especially 16/18+), but we can take it as a solid single source of truth because you basically can’t open a bank account, get a SIM, or access most formal services without it.
About 49% of those 137 million are women and Nigeria’s total fertility rate is still 4.8 children per woman (latest NDHS). Even if we take a conservative cut and assume only around 40% of the registered adult women are currently mothers and apply the 4.8 average, you quickly get in the region of 100–110 million children.
Add those kids back to the 137 million registered people and you’re already sitting around 240 million — without yet counting the older adults who never bothered with NIN, the large numbers of uneducated and unbanked people in rural areas. That pushes the total comfortably closer to 280–300 million than to anything under 220 million.
Let’s even say you don’t like the NIN number bcos the data isn’t 100% clean, we can cross-check with unique BVN numbers instead (currently about 68–69 million). Run the same rough logic as before: half women, conservative share of mothers, 4.8 fertility and you still land in the low-to-mid 230 millions before adding the missing rural, elderly groups, the numbers trend towards the same direction.
This is just an informed estimate based on the administrative data we have plus basic fertility and age-structure realities. A full census could produce way higher numbers. Still the numbers point clearly one way: we are a lot closer to 300 million than we are to 220 million.
So abeg, don’t die on that hill, you’ll just die for nothing.
He was doing Modric dummies before Modric, people forget how skillful and fast he was, I heard in the summer Bellingham was better. It’s just silly.
Stevie is the greatest all round footballer the game has ever seen.
@Yanfiey Let’s hold it up to scrutiny then. Let’s put the both of them side by side. The only thing you can say is Ronaldinho had about 2-3 seasons where he was the best in the world, and in those 3 seasons, he didn’t outplay Neymar’s Barcelona’s peak.
You don’t know anything. Neymar and Messi and even Harry Kane that drop deep to initiate play does that mean they are defensive midfielders or box to box? Come on nau.
Maturing is realising that "Mourinho turned Mikel into a DM" was propaganda, cos look at his starting position in this clip, you'll see that at no point did he start with anything less than 5 players ahead of him.
He's always been a deep lying playmaker rather than the 10 we all mistook him for
“Children of Blood and Bone” budget is apparently 200 Million and is currently being sabotaged by the co-writer/author.
if this bombs at the box office, this might be the last Black film with this type of budget that we get in the next 10 years besides “Black Panther”.
@Cerebrone His best ever seasons in a Barca shirt was that 2014/15 and 2015/16.
His best ever season in his career was 2017/18. I remember his 22/23 season as well before that injury in February. He was on course to running his best ever season. He had absurd numbers by February.
It is kind of fascinating that almost 100% of the time, black athletes in every country, once they become mega successful choose to date white women, or at least non black women.
Why is that? No racist answers please. I’m really curious is it just access? Less access to black women at the very top?
