When something this unimaginable occurs in other nations, I have never heard of them fasting, praying, or mourning. They get to work to curb the problem; if not solve it, they at least try to keep it at bay. What are we fasting for? Isn't the hunger in the country already enough?
I have just read the communique released by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) under the leadership of His Grace Archbishop Daniel Okoh from the 2026 National Church Leaders Summit and I align with the concern and sympathies of the Church in Nigeria over the security of the lives of Nigerians.
The demand for a comprehensive review of the nation’s security architecture, enhanced intelligence gathering, stronger inter-agency cooperation, improved operational effectiveness and greater accountability in the fight against terrorism, banditry and violent crime, are all fully in line with my position on the failure of the Tinubu-led Federal Government.
It is encouraging for Nigerians to see Christians from various denominations and blocs unite in this spiritual wake-up call upon the political leadership to do better. From the Catholic Secretariat to the Christian Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (CPFN), the Organisation of African Instituted Churches to the TEKAN/ECWA and other Christian blocs in Nigeria, the declaration of a three-day period of national mourning should serve as moments of reflection for all political leaders, especially those in power with the responsibility to do better by Nigerians.
As insecurity ravages without concern for religious or ethnic differences which have been made more glaring by the 360 degrees failure of the incumbent government, I commend this noble effort to hold the ruling party accountable and encourage solidarity from all Nigerians in this regard. I enjoin other faith organisations especially of the Muslim block to lend their voices to this wake-up call.
On behalf of the political opposition whom Tinubu has ignored as well as the Nigerian people, I urge Tinubu to listen to this urgent call from CAN and diligently ponder his courses of action beyond rhetorics, at least for his remaining months in office. -AA

@HunterBiden I have never heard nor seen Hunter go like this. For you to do this, the pile-on must have become impossible to handle. Peace and love to your family.
@DreDaKreator Exactly! When the movie came out, it felt fresh and something different from the black gay movies I have seen. I just found out about the books yesterday and I can't wait to read them. This month, I'm going back to old movies I have seen to reminisce.
Well, Queer as Folk is probably everyone's first introduction to queer series. It was definitely one of my firsts. I stayed up late to watch it, but I couldn't get the complete episodes because I was watching from fztvseries back then, iykyk. Now I can access every episode, and the feelings I felt seeing myself represented on TV are still very much present today.
I saw B-Boy Blues with my ex during one of our movie nights. We were really excited about it because it was a black gay movie. It centers around a raw, passionate, and complicated relationship between an educated journalist and a bicycle rider in New York.
When their paths crossed, it was inevitable that they would get together because of such powerful physical and emotional attraction. In a way, it gives off a vibe of what could transpire in Lagos.
Anyways, it's actually a book adaptation and B-Boy Blues is just the first part. If you watched it already, you can continue the storyline with the other books:
2nd Time Around (1996)
If Only For One Nite (1997)
The Day Eazy-E Died (2001)
Love The One You're With (2002)
A House Is Not a Home (2005)
Hope you enjoy it. Let me know your thoughts.
Please release these children for the sake of our shared humanity
I am deeply shocked and heartbroken by the condition in which these abducted school children are, as seen from their flagellated bodies. It is a painful reminder of the depth of insecurity in our land.
I have always made it clear that the society we abuse today will take its revenge on our children tomorrow. When I first began making that statement, some of these children were not even born. This is a classic example of how the abuse of governance and society today can produce devastating consequences long after the abusers are gone.
It is on the same line that I argue that the loans our leaders take today will hurt our children in the future, as many of them will mature for repayment and consequences long after we are gone.
To those holding these children, I make a direct appeal to your conscience. Remember that these are innocent children - sons and daughters of people who have placed their hopes, dreams, and entire future in them. In every one of them, you will find reflections of your own children, your own family, and your own humanity.
No grievance, no hardship, no justification can ever outweigh the sanctity of a child’s life and innocence. Whatever path has led to this moment, there is still room for remorse, for humanity, and for a change of heart.
I therefore appeal to your sense of mercy: release these children immediately. Let them go. Return them safely to society to reunite with their families. -PO
@butchqueenjj Yeah! I see what you mean, people glorifying the romance and forgetting the DV scene. For me, it felt like a major arc for Raheim's character.

Today, I'm thinking of Operation Hyacinth, the Polish drama focusing on queer struggles in 1980s communist Poland. It follows an unsuspecting police officer, set to marry a woman, who falls in love with a young student. His choices ultimately get him ostracized by both his family and society. It deeply reminds me of the ongoing struggle faced by LGBTQAI+ people across Africa and most of the World today.

@jaysonjournal Also watches it with my ex. I devoured these books when they came out. These and every single thing by E. Lynn Harris. They all made me know that it was possible to be put, gay and Black and have a FRUITful life filled with unconditional love.
