No calorie restriction in the world can make me subject myself to unsweetened Greek yogurt.

That breast cancer discourse just undid several steps of de-stigmatization campaigns. I'm seriously disappointed

[AMA 🖤 @abitofamala]

You all are so dense that in your stance to not support men you score an own goal.

A woman will not marry into a family that the women died of cancer, yes it’s her choice but a very discriminatory and ableist one. She has just set a standard that many will forever uphold

There’re a million roles I’ll play before I’ll be caught playing devil’s advocate for men on Twitter 😂

Why do you people let external factors change you all for the bad??

[Akinwunmi @iam_akinwunmi]

I learnt my bad texting habits from unrequited feelings + talking stages.

My nonchalance was forcefully learnt.
I actually care a lot.

About to be in a phase where I’m a shut in…. I think I’m done with letting people in…. I’m tired

@PriestRitchie @ibukunmi_ @_SLYTAUREAN How dumb you are that saying watching romance movie isn’t watching movie….. see how dumb you look

"Nigerian society is no longer celebrating academic excellence. It’s not even Yahøø culture anymore; now we have a 'Peller culture.' This 'Olodo' uprising we are witnessing is terrible. It feels like we are trying so hard to accommodate ignorance so people won’t feel bad, and now they seem to be the majority. The massive att@ck on Nigeria’s educational system is alarming, aside from kidn@ppings and Bøko Haram att@cks."

I have a very dicey opinion.

I don’t think it’s an Igbo women thing. There is an entire sect of the culture built around child labor. Like the nwa boy system. The only reason it’s louder amongst the women, is because most of them take female children so the spectrum of harm that can be done is wider.

With the boys, they are first socialized to believe that anything they go through is a sacrifice and that boys don’t speak up so they can become men. That is why a lot of the nwa boys are just happy if the Oga settles them at the end of their time there.

Essentially, I’m saying it’s a cultural issue not necessarily gendered. If it will be solved, it has to be from the roots.

If you show a man you are willing to suffer, he will make you SUFFER

[AMA 🖤 @abitofamala]

😂😂😂…. They want us to give them award for best in sufferings and emotional constipation.

[EA has her PVC @virtuousii]

Did we bring the group chat from heaven?

[AMA 🖤 @abitofamala]

@Becksjane26 It’s just better marrying from your side so if anything sup they will know how to treat the situation…. Plus it’s also about the difference in values. What a particular place or tribe prioritize when it comes to marriage

And then, there's the rest of us: obviously not a baddie, not really a cutie patootie, something of a Taiga.

After some initial years of "freedom", you realise that there's an emptiness that only God can fill.

It was on this same app that everybody wanted to chew a man with Tourette syndrome raw cause he had a tic and caused discomfort to a certain group. People are never honest with themselves

[Nywele Ngumu @mariahsudi]

The reality is people are not nice to disabled kids, even slightly awkward kids,ask any parent with an autistic child how teachers, majority of teachers are towards them, how schools treat them..

[AMA 🖤 @abitofamala]

I’m sorry sir but if you knew about their condition before they were born and still went ahead then youre very wicked and selfish.. Healthy people already face a lot of difficulties in just living now imagine what a person who needs care 24/7 will have to go through.

[jezz @JezziiB]

As a woman I am extremely aware the only reason I have rights is because women before me got mouthy, organized, and made herself inconvenient. Thats why I see women who uphold the patriarchy as traitors

We have Nnamdi Azikiwe….

[KALYJAY @gyaigyimii]

Why has Nigeria never produced a world leader on the level of Kwame Nkrumah or Kofi Annan? 🥴

[Treazy @treazyblaq]

If as a Nigerian I cannot make a documentary about the Holocaust,
If as a Nigerian I cannot make a documentary about the Rwandan genocide,
If as a Nigerian I cannot make a documentary about the Armenian genocide,
If as a Nigerian I cannot make a documentary about the Somali civil war,
If an Igbo woman cannot even have the word “Owanbe” in an exhibition she is holding in Lagos without getting attacked,

Then Meji Alabi-Isama and Leke Alabi-Isama have absolutely no business making a documentary about the Biafran genocide as Yoruba people.

Biafra is not some neutral historical topic to us. It is generational trauma, starvation, massacres, displacement, grief, and pain that still lives in Igbo families today.

If they are so desperate to tell a story, they should tell the story of how Yorubas were enslaved and sold by the Fulani. They should make a documentary about the fall of the Oyo Empire instead of inserting themselves into Igbo history.

I’m glad we are having this conversations…

[Treazy @treazyblaq]

Igbo people do not add iru to egusi soup.
Igbo people do not add iru to okra soup.
Igbo people do not add iru to ogbono soup.
Igbo people do not cook with iru.

Igbo people do not add sugar to yam porridge.

And Igbo people do not pour beans inside pot, add water and ingredients, then start cooking it like that. We cook it halfway first, pour away the first water like rice, then add fresh water before adding ingredients and seasoning.

Yes, Igbo people use crayfish to cook almost everything apart from stew and you people should try it.

I genuinely do not know where some of you learnt your cooking from.
