@MuyiiAdebayo I couldn’t believe mine!!

[Aisha @aishaayanx]

Aye yin ti fe baje in that Nigeria omg.
How dystopian is it that a man married into a billionaire family is asking Nigerians many of whom are struggling in this economy to bet on the gender of his child on his betting app. Like, what happened to just popping a balloon?

[Sir Eazi @mreazi]

We've seen aspects of xenophobia on the continent before: Nigeria's "Ghana Must Go" event in the 1980s, Idi Amin's expulsion of Asians & Ghana's Aliens Compliance Order. My new video unpacks some of the factors driving Afrophobia in South Africa..

[𝐀𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐲𝐆𝐑𝐍 @AsakyGRN]

Xenophobic and Afrophobic South Africans shut down a Nigerian man’s business in South Africa despite the fact that he had all the necessary legal documentation, paid taxes, employed 25 South Africans, and had lived in the country for 13 years.

[Aisha @aishaayanx]

Does South Africa Hate Africans?

There’s a certain way people will engage with you when they’re a decision maker or when you need something from them that will tell you about their character

[Aisha @aishaayanx]

The thing is nollywood absolutely engages in a kind of self-fashioning that portrays an aspirational urban representation of Nigeria even in realist films. The industry is very ideological driven and distorts a lot of reality

[Kemi Lala Akindoju @lalaakindoju]

Fola, filmmakers are allowed creative license. Filmmakers especially in Nigeria get a lot of heat from law enforcement agencies, most have even stopped use of uniforms in films. So the default is for most filmmakers to use some creative license.

@PauloNoggy Insightful retort.

[Aisha @aishaayanx]

And if their financial situation changes after being booted out into the private sector, then what?

[D @_Unknown_D_]

Social housing should be given only conditional 5 year leases, once you reach year 5 you are means tested. If your income exceeds a threshold you need to rent in the private sector. Simple and effective.

[Aisha @aishaayanx]

@rogzy_ Very efficient & well thought out.

[Aisha @aishaayanx]

Enough black Brits are in denial about their identities

[starboy @angehieux]

I’ve noticed a lot of black British people do this weird thing when they try to distance themselves from British culture and food and completely align themselves with their ethnic background, as if they wouldn’t be seen as a foreigner there.

[Aisha @aishaayanx]

My all time favourite!

[ADA BEKE 🇳🇬 @Ada_bekee32]

It’s sooo UGLY, bring back this….

[Aisha @aishaayanx]

Yoruba woman who spent her formative years in Lagos can speak Yoruba: omg wow???

[Aisha @aishaayanx]

[ysl obama 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇧🇷🇺🇸🇳🇴🇨🇮🇨🇩 @LSYeirbag]
