Around this time last year, I was completely clueless about data analytics. My first encounter was at Data Fest Africa 2024, where I was inspired by experienced professionals.
a man is beating his wife who just gave birth via CS and her mum that came 4 omugwo. The neighbors heard what was happening & started beating him
The brothers of the woman are here to take their mom and sister home, they refunded the bride price on the spot and beat him as well
When my daughter was about 4 we were at her well child checkup. The doctor said to her something like, “You’re sure pretty. I bet you have a lot of boyfriends”. She looked him dead in the eye with no amusement in her face and replied, “That’s really weird.”
I think that was the proudest I’d ever been. Stop asking kids stupid sh*t like this.
There’s this thing Nigerians do when someone especially women speak up about something vile done to them. Suddenly, the victim must be a saint, must be holy, must be kind, free of any form of vices.
They start sanctimoniously digging for an old tweet or mistake to “taint” their victimhood.
Does someone deserve less justice because they’re flawed?
There is no perfect victim, because there is no perfect human.
Men won’t agree to a male babysitter for their daughters. They’ll get defensive if they see a grown man standing too close to their teenage child. They become anxious when their daughters are out late.
Yet when women speak about patterns of male harm, the response is, “Not all men.”
Women are not statistics, we’re not toys, we’re not scores, we’re not properties, we’re autonomous people. Nobody has the right to our lives and our bodies except us and the people we give consent to.
Can men just leave us alone. What the hell!
A woman I know was followed home at night.
She didn’t run.
She didn’t yell.
She laughed at his jokes.
Complimented his shoes.
Pretended she was flattered by the attention.
She gave him her number just to make it home alive.
Blocked it the second her door locked behind her.
Men call this “leading someone on.”
Women call it survival.
Men will never fully grasp the calculations women make in real time just to stay alive.
That’s why there’s a whole lot of insecure adults. They weren’t given basic respect as kids. Kids are one of the most oppressed people and everyone just calls them annoying.
Dear data analysts,
Data analytics doesn’t start with numbers.
It starts with curiosity.
📍Align with the problem. 📍Ask better questions. 📍Let the data answer.
Curiosity → Questions → Answers.
That’s how insights are born.
#Datafam, do you agree?
