@jayhemz Nigerians in the US would not be able to achieve what they achieve in the US without the historical efforts of Black Americans. Black Americans cannot say the same if they are to travel to Nigeria. We are not better than them.

Would you mind expanding on this?

[Wale Lawal @WalleLawal]

And it shows in our creative work (not a good thing).

@UEify @blessinguzzi @UzoamakaPower Yes! 😅

You cannot logic someone out of a position that is currently regulating their fear, status, identity, or sense of belonging.

Categorically untrue, being bilingual is a reality. This is low racial self esteem.

Can’t relate. My children must know how to speak pidgin because that’s the best way to communicate with most Nigerians. Speaking pidgin is like speaking another language. It doesn’t affect any other language you speak.

i know pidgin is like nigeria’s official language but i genuinely detest seeing little kids speaking it

"it was the first ever Nigerian told story that made it to Cannes."

@TeaVee20 @jadorejontele Black women also use very particular hair products compared to others like relaxers, perms, keratin treatments, wig glue, etc. In fact, many hair products marketed specifically to Black women are incredibly bad for our health.

@africanhourly Why does the film go by a different title in French speaking countries? Doesn’t the title translate to “A Day with My Father”?

The Nigerian bourgeoisie produces nothing but consumption. No extraction, no production, no bone-grinding labor, only the endless reproduction of pleasure as status. They live to enjoy, they enjoy to live, and they call that freedom. In truth, it is parasitism raised to a...

Africans : - why does this ethnic group, which has lived alongside my ethnic group for centuries have customs and clothing very similar to mine?

@dildenora @dirtroaddem0n That’s not a far off guess. Kenya and Ethiopia are right next to each other.

Every self-betrayal is a sin. Whenever you go against your nature/intuition, the Universe makes a point, not to punish you, but to remind you. The discomfort, the delays, the lessons, the mirrors, they’re not coincidences, but reminders. Not to shame you, but to guide you back.

QVC basically invented live-streaming decades ago: Goes 24/7. A good 80% of the show is just the hosts going on long personal digressions. People watch it as background. Heavy parasocial element. Hosts know the callers (95% are repeat buyers). It’s 100% Twitch for grandmas.

@RhadebeB @GJIVANI @AfricaFactsZone The point is that your little rule is null and void in the real world. You can only enforce it through your little screen and you know it. This was literally Doja’s first time in South Africa and you’re here seriously saying she’s not American.

@RhadebeB @GJIVANI @AfricaFactsZone lol Yes, because we all know Trevor Noah as the Swiss comedian
