I would be ticking a daily countdown, starting from today - until Tinubu is kicked out of Aso rock.
The Presidential elections would hold on January 16 2027, so 263 days until Tinubu is bundled out of Aso Rock.
#TinubuOut
If your partner is popular, you'll be known as the partner to the popular person. Those who know you personally, will address you by your name. E.g, Omotola's husband, Kunle Remi's wife. While they have personal identities, it is irrelevant to the public who only experience them through their partner.
If you find it derogatory being addressed with the married title to your partner, you shouldn't have married them in the first place. You should feel proud being addressed as your partner's partner.
If your partner was not famous, you wouldn't even be consequential in the discourse. Even your friend's partner that you are not close with, you refer to them in 3rd person as your friend's wife/husband. Miss us with this performative crap of wanting everybody to address you by your name and professional title. Who are you? That is a lot of personal insecurity. Success is not desperate to be announced.
Everyone experiences you differently and will address you as same. Those who know you personally or professionally, will address you by name or professional title. Those who know you through your partner will address you through your relationship with your partner. As a matter of fact, when introducing yourself to people, first name is enough. It is not the world's business that you're a lawyer or doctor. No be only you go school. If the conversation goes deeper where you're asked what you do, you can state it. You have 4 Masters, and so what?
You people should go and sit down.
Bitch. So you mean to tell me Celine Dion did “My Heart Will Go On” in one take?? All because she ain’t wanna do it in the first place, so the vocals we hear was just her going “here, damn” so they would leave her alone. LOL! An icon.
On this day in 1999, “My Heart Will Go On” was honored with four GRAMMY Awards including Record of the Year (a first for a Canadian), Song of the Year, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and Best Song Written for a Motion Picture or Television. The evening was later dubbed the “Year of Women,” with Album of the Year nominees including Madonna, Shania Twain, Sheryl Crow, and Garbage.
What do you remember most about this moment?
Jesus told the rich to sell off their wealth and give it to the poor.
But Nigerian pastors (who have no other source of income apart from church money) are proudly flaunting 2million dollars wristwatches in an extremely poor country like Nigeria.
The Light has become darkness.
The Salt has become shameful shit.
Ichabod. The Glory has indeed departed.
Ofe nsala is not “white soup.”
Ofe onugbu is not “bitter leaf soup.”
They have no English names.
They need none.
They were not conceived in English thought, cooked in English kitchens, or born of English cosmology. So dragging English into their naming is cultural erasure.
Renaming indigenous food is one of the most subtle forms of cultural self-contempt. You think you’re explaining; in reality, you’re confessing inferiority. You’re saying without words that what comes from you must be repackaged before it deserves attention.
Food is a language. A complete one.
It carries geography, season, spirituality, medicinal intelligence, and communal memory. When you translate ofe nsala into a colour description, you amputate everything that makes it Igbo. What remains is a pale, meaningless shadow designed to sound “civilised.”
This impulse did not start with you. It was taught.
Colonialism trained the African mind to believe that anything unnamed by Europe is unfinished. So we translate instinctively. We rename reflexively. We rush to make ourselves legible to outsiders, even when it costs us our spine.
Burger is not English. It comes from Germany Hamburg, to be precise. Yet nobody calls it “minced meat sandwich.” Sushi was not renamed “raw fish rice” to gain acceptance. Pizza was not reduced to “flat baked dough.” The world adjusted because those cultures refused to adjust themselves downward.
Have you ever seen an Englishman seeking validation by giving his food an Igbo name?
Have you ever seen Europeans apologising for their culture before presenting it?
Never.
Only the colonised mind feels the urge to explain itself into disappearance.
Renaming is how ownership is stolen. Once the indigenous name is abandoned, the origin becomes negotiable. Today it is “white soup.” Tomorrow it is “African delicacy.” Next tomorrow, it is “fusion cuisine” owned by someone else while the original custodians become footnotes.
It is how cultures are neutralised without war.
Neo-colonialism no longer arrives with guns. It arrives with vocabulary. It thrives on your desire to be liked, your fear of being seen as local, your addiction to external approval.
A people who respect themselves do not translate their identity to be tolerated. They assert it and let the world learn.
Your language is not a barrier.
Your food is not primitive.
Your culture is not awaiting certification.
The only thing that needs correction is the mind that believes English is the final judge of value.
So say it properly.
Teach it confidently.
Defend it unapologetically.
Ofe nsala is ofe nsala.
Ofe onugbu is ofe onugbu.
If they want to eat it, let them learn it.
If they want to know you, let them meet you whole.
That is not arrogance.
That is self-respect.
"Ó wa pariwo toooooo, Egún ìrandíran ní ìdílé bàbá , ní ìdílé ìyà tó ní mi ò ní làlùyọ, olúwa fi iná rẹ jó wọn run
My father, my father, every generational curses that's hindering my progress, destroy them by your fire"
Some people have been doing this since they were teenagers, they're in their 50s and nothing to show for it
At the end of the day, we are all one as an African people. The worst predator against us is the west. They still prey on us, they gave us bibles and picked up rifles. If one of us falls, we all fall. So, we have to be united for a greater cause. Cause we are all we got. 🌍
Make everybody do wetin him want o. But you see this 2026 when campaign start na Peter Obi we go gather for.
Don't come and ask me what he'll do differently o. Same way you tested this government is the same way all of us will test him too.
This time na Aura for aura
Yes, some mothers weaponize access. It happens. It’s wrong. It damages kids. Full stop.
But that truth doesn’t cancel the bigger one, a man who truly wants to be present doesn’t disappear quietly. He documents, he fights, he shows up legally, financially, emotionally even when the mother is difficult.
Two things can be true at once:
1. Some women make co-parenting hell.
2.Too many men use that as an excuse to opt out completely.
A broken home is rarely created by one saint and one devil.
But the child always pays for both adults’ failures.
Accountability isn’t gendered.
Absence whether emotional, financial, or physical is still absence.
Sit with that.
@Just_Torpeh@hizroyalflynes I'm not gonna convince you to vote wisely again
If the situation of the country doesn't convince you
Then let us keep suffering and smiling, koju be lo
