Ironically, this heated "Olodo Uprising" conversation is actually a good sign for Nigeria.
Nigeria is finally having its first endogenous, organically-defined culture war over an issue that is intrinsically important to Nigerian society.
Every other culture war that post-colonial Nigeria has fought until now has been imported Yankee slop, or imported religious slop, or both (LGBTQ, 3rd wave Feminism, "sexual liberation", tithing, NYSC hijab, etc).
A society fighting internal culture wars over its own self-defined issues is a society that is finally obtaining an identity of its own. Long may the war continue, and may the olodos suffer crushing defeat that dooms their uprising to the chapters of a Jude Bela historical documentary released in 2045.
I Sergio Ramos'd my 4 year old from behind because he held on to the ball for too long.
Watched him play with his cousin last week and that ball was moving 😭😭
Usually, politicians are liars. But when you see a politician being so brazenly honest about his corruption like this, know that he no longer needs you to stay in power
I honestly hate that we’ve normalized the idea that all opinions are valid. I think we should get back to telling ppl that they are ill informed & ignorant
I'd forgotten how blunt Europeans are in meetings.
