So you people IMAMS don't speak up against bad government? I know we're hammering on pastors but they're other religions in Nigeria. Traditional rulers Nkor? Are they speaking up ? All other religions Nkor?

[Nice Linus @adaomalinus]

If you cannot ensure the protection of the lives and properties of the Nigerian people, whether as a governor or president, then, you're not a leader. Simply resign.

Growing up, a year to election is usually when politicians work the most

They try to perform especially when they are running for a second term.

But this one wants to kill us all before election.

This picture was released today from them..

This is the gift these children received as their children's day gift.

While you're busy asking the your president to arrest VDM over an AI generated audio that he didn't post,

Call him to rescue these children from these people..

I know it's none of your business cause your child is not among but call your president to rescue them..

Over 40 children are in the hands of these people, I didn't see where you made a post about it..

But immediately one of you who by all means want to see VDM go down released their fake audio and video,

You sat down to type your suggestions to the government and how they should track VDM...

Have conscience!! So You know how to track people down and you kept mute over these children's case????

This is a pure strategy to distract people from the major thing at hand..

You people are doing all your best to shift attention....
Tell your government to save these children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That wonderful generation is done with their work. This generation of women has a duty to continue to guard the freedom they fought for.

[Enomfon Akpan @mydearenomfon]

Every freedom you have as a woman was earned through the sacrifice of women who came before you. You didn’t inherit these rights by luck. Someone marched, protested, and paid a price for them.

For many Nigerian men, a "No" from a woman is scarier than all their life problems combined. Why is a "No" so hard to stomach?

[Onwa_Nnewi @Kene_Nnewi]

Welcome to Nigeria, Obowo Imo state.

An old man like this asked this small girl out...a young nursing student by name Wendy and as a good girl that knows she came to school to study....she turned him down.

At night, the man who is a vulcanizer went with his friends to where the girl lives...they took turn in r@ping her and during the struggle... the girl recognized one of them and even gave him a mark on the neck...then they decided to slit her throat, lock her door back quietly and left.....

These monsters of men were captured yesterday...

Government should just take them to court let the law speak on their behalf.

Wishing them whatever they wished themselves.

Read my short poems written in times when I began to reflect on the ordinary. In the ordinary, we are reminded that we are only but time-bound creatures. However, our dreams count, and our aspirations, too, are valid. We must, in every way possible, keep hope alive.

Apt!

[Iyaloja of Fields 🙌🏽 @bisolabadejo]

There is also a conversation we need to have with Christian men.

Because some of you speak about women with an underhanded disdain that is deeply un-Christlike, then hide behind “biblical order” to justify it.

You cannot simply look at every Christian woman who resonates with feminism and dismiss her as rebellious. History has shown women have had reasons to fight. The Church is not entirely innocent in the abuse and silencing of women. We have sometimes weaponized Scripture instead of rightly dividing it.

Some women did not become angry because they hate God. They became angry because people used God against them.

There are women who have been talked down to, ignored, diminished, spiritually manipulated, and emotionally controlled in church spaces while men quoted “submission” at them like a threat.

And when women begin to push back against that, you cannot automatically label them rebellious without enough humility to ask:

“What exactly are they reacting to?”

Because even in Scripture, God did not condemn women who challenged systems.

The daughters of Zelophehad fought.
They contended.
They challenged a structure that disadvantaged them.

And God said:

“The daughters of Zelophehad speak right.” (Numbers 27:7)

Not rebellious.
Not dishonorable.
Not with the spirit of Jezebel…
Right.

Some of you need to realize that being male does not automatically make your interpretation superior.

Statements like:

“Woman was created later, therefore she is lesser,”
“Eve was deceived, therefore women are inferior,”
“Men are naturally superior because Adam came first,”

do not make you sound spiritually mature. They make you sound biblically unintelligent.

Genesis 1 says:

“Male and female created he them.”

God did not create woman as an afterthought. He had both genders in mind from the beginning.

And Genesis 2 is not about superiority.
It is about order.

Order does not mean value.

Christ and the Church have order.
The Father and the Son have order.
Order is not inferiority.

In fact, biblical leadership is not domination.
Christ never used His position to belittle the Church, He died for her.

So how did some Christian men become more arrogant than Christ?

You brandish submission like a weapon.
You speak about masculinity like it is superiority.
You talk about women as though leadership means lordship.

News flash, you are not a biblical male. You are carnally minded and we all know what that means.

To lead in our Kingdom is to serve. Where is your service?!

And if creation order is your argument for superiority, then goats should be greater than men because animals were created before Adam.

The logic collapses immediately.

The truth is many women are angry because they encountered distortion disguised as doctrine.
Male ego preached as theology.
Misogyny defended with proof texts.

And instead of constantly rushing to call women rebellious, maybe Christian men need enough self-awareness to ask:

“Have we represented Christ properly?”

Because many women are not rejecting Christ.
They are reacting to men who looked nothing like Him.

Love and Light… with a sprinkle of Holy Ghost Fire.

Protest yields results. From the May 13 2024 protest that reawakened consciousness till date. We welcome students' decision to embark on a peaceful protest to denounce the poor living conditions at the University of Ibadan. We urge students to remain more vigilant!

[CONCERNED STUDENTS MOVEMENT (CSM), NIGERIA @csatf_ng]

A photo story of Wednesday, May 6 protest at the @UniIbadan. For the record, this was another demonstration initiated by aggrieved students. Students suffered the lack of water and electricity. Although concessions have been made, CSM Nigeria urge all students to remain vigilant!
