The way I’ve been begging GOD for money lately... if a human being begged me like this, I’d have started dodging their calls. GOD, please don’t dodge me. 🥹🙏😂
‘The loneliness you currently feel while being single , is nothing compared to the loneliness you will feel when you marry the wrong person.
-Pastor Dolapo Lawal
If love ever finds you again, may it come from someone who chooses you every day, not just in words, but in actions.
Someone who doesn't make you beg for time, for effort, for the bare minimum.
May the universe let you meet someone who looks at love deeply as you do.
Mary, Mother of Self-Giving, intercede for us as we fast during this holy season. Help us not to fast only from food, but from sin, pride, anger, and selfishness. May our sacrifices purify our hearts and draw us closer to God. 🙏🏽
Twitter Nigeria suddenly started acting like men don't rape women. Overnight, the country apparently gained the best justice and medical systems in the world, perfectly equipped to deliver justice in every single rape case.
The conversations get loudest only when a rape allegation turns out to be false, not when it's a confirmed case. Want to know why?.
Come closer, I'll tell you. I don't care about your feelings, they're going to get hurt. This is a splash free zone. Don't bother putting on your emotional armor; it won't help.
Most of you want every rape accusation to be false so desperately that when you finally get that one in a million case, you scream it from the rooftops. You broadcast it to the world and build this facade: "See? This is what they all are."
Don't even get me started on the reality: thousands of girls are raped every year around the world, and that's just the reported cases. More than double that number never get spoken about (global estimates show 60-90% of rapes go unreported due to fear, stigma, and victim blaming; in Nigeria, studies suggest even higher under-reporting, with some saying 8 out of 9 cases stay hidden). Don't come here to argue with me. Go check the facts first.
Raping another human being requires a mentally deranged person. Sex is meant to be enjoyable and consensual. If you participate in rape, you are mentally abnormal, mentally unstable. And if you see nothing wrong with the act itself, something is seriously wrong with you mentally too. It's not enough to be loud only when a case is proven false. Where is that same energy when the accusation is actually true?
In Nigeria, bad news barely moves people anymore. Terrorists can slaughter 200 people in a village and life goes on as usual. So it's no surprise that rape doesn't shake you either "worse things have happened," right?.
Many of you are not mentally okay. Your mental space is gradually being damaged, and when people outside your bubble see your reactions, it becomes sickening.
So much so that it has become normal to tell girls not to walk at night, to protect themselves from us, the men. We tell them what kind of clothes to wear, we tell them to cover themselves, we tell them to hide who they are for their own protection. Wait, who is telling little boys to keep their shit in their pants? Who is telling them it's abnormal to not seek consent at every step of a sexual act? And whoever dares to speak up gets vilified like there's no tomorrow, every Dick, Tom, and Harry suddenly remembers how to dig up old tweets and play detective.
My point is not to defend false rape accusations. You don't know me, and that's fine. I've spoken loudly against false claims. I've called out women who pollute the seriousness of rape with selfish lies. I've explained how those actions destroy the courage real victims need to speak up.
But Nigerians, there is a time for everything. I've always talked about timing. If I say I don't like oranges, this isn't the moment for you to tell me how much you love apples. This is the time to ask: Why did I say that? What led to my position? It's perfectly okay if you don't like my stance, you don't have to. But you don't need to derail the conversation right now.
Mary, Mother of Prayer, pray for us that we may remain faithful to prayer throughout this Lenten journey. When prayer feels difficult or dry, give us perseverance. Help us remember that every sincere prayer brings us closer to your Son and strengthens our soul.🙏🏽
My sincere and only Bucket List right now:
Leave Nigeria
Flee Nigeria
Escape Nigeria
Run away from Nigeria
Abscond from Nigeria
Evacuate Nigeria
Vanish from Nigeria
Stay out of Nigeria
Avoid Nigeria at all cost
Breakout of Nigeria
So help me God🤲🏾🦅
