@EgbaGooner @kunle_kenny You're right, I don't follow him.

I’m not one for social media callouts but I won’t have my name dragged through the mud.

It’s so funny watching ASOIAF dudebros ramble about kings, lords, knights, and battles all day long, then a female character pops up and all of a sudden they start crying “monarchy bad, ruling class bad, war bad” like they just remembered they’re from the 21st century 😭

NTA. We can't let a pregnant woman starve 💕

[May✗ @Mayham_H]

AITA for cheating on my husband (50) with his ex mistress (50) and then exiling her to Pentos, force feeding my sister (21) who was starving herself, killing the pope (70?) and then declaring myself the new messiah?

Jokes on you because nobody was rug pulled. We support Rhaenyra's wrongs and rights over here plus her armour eats down! 10/10 no notes.

[Officer Frenly (Very High IQ) @FrenlyOfficer]

I love how this is the second time HBO has rugpulled feminist fans by turning their heroine into literally Hitler and they still didn’t see it coming

[JAY 💞 @Janiee_Jayy]

Age shaming is so funny.

Why are you shaming me for living long…. are you planning on dying early?

[Ilo @ilo_gbe]

Only Daemon can get Rhaenyra to do what she needs to do 🤣

[💭 @daemonthinker]

Rhaenyra: "I'm tired"

Daemon: "okay but lemme speak to you about our lord and saviour Daenerys Targaryen"

[Ilo @ilo_gbe]

Rhaenyra and Damon have insane aura together, my goodness! #HOTD

Michelle Obama: I'm gonna take a little time to do something that I know my husband will not do today, and that is to fully sing his praises. There hasn't been a single second through this experience that standing by your side hasn't left me in awe. You used this time to reveal your truest essence. Your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage. Your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency. Your ferocious work ethic, and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.

Hi women, can you post pictures or talk about your academic achievements? I need some motivation this month.

If you see this tweet, share it so women can see it.

[Ilo @ilo_gbe]

Jealous men ruin everything. Loser behavior.

[Cashstash Mustache @uMehlokazulu]

Yep, you definitely look like you have a PhD.😭

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!

Please tell me this is AI

Guys!! It’s cold very outside! I just stepped outside my house to feel it. And if it’s this cold in Lagos, it’s colder in Ibadan and much even colder in the bushes! These children and their teachers are shivering right now! This is their 27th night! God!😭😭

Many Africans are proud of Ethiopia for being the only African nation that was never colonised.

However, they rarely say anything about how when Ethiopia defeated European colonial invaders at the Battle of Adwa in 1896, the Ethiopian army was actually marching under the banner of the Christian Orthodox Church.

This was not even a result of modern European colonisation either, as Ethiopia converted to Christianity 1200 years before transatlantic slavery and 1500 years before Africa’s colonisation, around the same time the Roman Empire was only just beginning to tolerate the faith.
In fact, Coptic Christianity in Ethiopia and ancient Egypt developed entirely independently of European colonial influence.

The Nubian kingdoms of Sudan converted to Christianity in the 6th century AD, influenced by Egyptian Coptic and Ethiopian Christian missionaries. The resulting Nubian Christianity persisted for nearly 1000 years, only gradually giving way to Islam after the 13th-14th centuries.

It was actually Islam that prevented Ethiopia and Egypt from spreading Christianity across the Sahel and into West Africa.

It’s true that Western/Protestant Christianity spread through colonial missionary activity in Sub-Saharan Africa. In places like Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa, the modern religious landscape was shaped by European missionaries and colonial institutions. But that doesn’t take away from 1500 years of indigenous African Christianity.

So, while Christianity is not originally African, it’s also not originally European, having originated in the Levant in West Asia. In fact, large parts of Africa were Christian before many parts of northern and eastern Europe were.

So, when we focus on just one screenshot of Christianity’s spread by European colonisers as the whole story, it erases a rich chapter of African history while attempting to defend it.

The bigger picture is that there was a continuous tradition of African Christianity that existed for centuries as an African phenomenon, completely independent of Europe.

I have a solution that will make it stop for about 9 months

I’m so tired of menstruating, honestly.

I hope Aniya and KC work out, they look good together.
