Nobody asked but the Bible has enough characters to run the most chaotic Twitter timeline in human history. Let me show you👇🏾
▪︎ Jesus follows 12 verified people. He rarely posts, but when He does, it’s a deep 5-word banger that hits 10 million views. Absolutely cooks the “verified” Pharisees in the quote tweets, hitting them with brutal clapbacks. He would eventually go viral because His mutual (Judas) leaked the group chat and dropped His live location to the opps. The account has been silent since but people are still quoting the last post.
▪︎ Delilah ran the most monetized account on the timeline. Relationship content by day. Intel by night. Her engagement rate was impossible to explain until you realized every post was strategically placed and every man in her comments was being studied.
She dated Samson publicly, made it aesthetic. The couple content was performing. Meanwhile she was in a separate DM asking "but where does the strength actually come from" for the sixth time with a different angle each time.
▪︎ Paul's account was getting suspended every other week. He was banned for being too accurate and too loud about it simultaneously.
He once dropped a 74-tweet thread at 3AM calling out the church in Corinth by full name and location. "Thread 🧵: Corinth is a mess and I have receipts. 1/74." He hosted 12-hour Twitter Spaces from house arrest. The Romans took his phone and he borrowed someone else's. They suspended that one too. His fourth burner was @SaulOfTarsus_Backup and everybody still knew it was him.
▪︎ The Most Dragged account goes to Prophet Hosea and it is not even close. Red-pill Twitter would wake up every morning and choose this man for breakfast. Imagine him quote tweeting his wife's night-out pictures at 2AM with "Dinner's on the stove whenever you're ready to come back my Queen ❤️."
Fresh and Fit would dedicate an entire three hour episode to this man.
But here is what nobody in the comments would know. God authored every single post.
▪︎ Noah was posting ark build timelapses for 120 years straight.. The world kept dragging him but he never replied. He just kept building and tweeting.
Then one day the comments went quiet and nobody ever heard from those accounts again.
His next post was a rainbow that got 15 million views with zero caption.
▪︎ Jonah is a professional relatable hater and the timeline has never seen anything like him before or since. This man quote tweeted an entire city's tearful apology video with "Ain't nobody watching all that. Nuke 'em." 120,000 people repenting in real time and his only response was "Nuke em". The crazy thing is that God had to book him a whale Uber to get him there.
▪︎ Solomon ran the one of the most followed account on the timeline and also the most exhausting. By 6AM without fail, he drops a 30-tweet thread on building wealth, disciplined mornings and generational thinking. The writing was genuinely good. The man had wisdom.
The problem was wife number 492 was also online. By 9PM the thread was buried under her quote tweets with receipts, screenshots and a voice note. The timeline had picked a side before midnight and it was not Solomon's.
He logged off, came back at 3AM to make a tweet.
"Everything is vanity fr 💔"
The first time I met Dr Tshepo Motsepe, we were sitting together at an event where former President Mbeki and I were scheduled to speak about the importance of encouraging South Africans abroad to return home to build the country. I was suffering from a cold and sneezing uncomfortably. A highly qualified doctor, she texted her driver a prescription for me and before long I just saw medicine being delivered. I have seen her a few times since in different circumstances and each time I left with one impression of a kind, caring and nurturing human. A mother.
When I see the regrettably unAfrican social media critique of her at 71, I wondered what happened to us. Our humanity and culture.
Looking at our own mothers, at 71, many would have lost a step or syllable or two, and have wrinkles that merit the journeys they have travelled: Raising children and communities. Building careers and families. All the while being underestimated; taken for granted; earning less while doing the most; being abused and used; walked all over and not appreciated.
Despite our best efforts, we can't dictate what nature serves us. Certainly, I don't know where or how most of our grandmothers, mothers, sisters or aunts would look like at 71. Or how anyone of us would. But I sure hope and pray I would be as dignified, qualified and respected as Dr. Tshepo Motsepe is in her field and society.
She has bothered no one. Has never been in the papers for the wrong things. Never sought the limelight or approval of public. And obviously hasn't resorted to the short-cuts most of us take with botox, bleaching, BBL, weaves, and the likes that seek to defy or redefine nature.
She is like most of our mothers, and just happens to be in the public eye because she married the most public of figures, the President of the Republic, Cyril Ramaphosa. She deserves the respect and adulation we pay our mothers and women like her who have carved their own paths and successes. Unless what we are reflecting in these social media streets is how we treat our own mothers.

Repost For Awareness
🛑 *Alert*
On 5 Dec 2023, a group of children (20) traveling on a bus from Pretoria to Cape Town.
Another passenger on the bus noticed that the children were not excited or noisy, like children would act when going on holiday,
They were very quiet, and the other passenger noticed that during bus breaks, the children were not getting off the bus.
So this passenger alerted a family member in Kimberly to call the police and search the bus during their break in Kimberley.
Police acting on a tip off immediately stopped and searched the bus.
It was discovered that the children were kidnapped and the children didn't even know each other. The children are currently in a place of safety in Kimberley and will be reunited with their families soon
A Zimbabwean couple was arrested.
I'm still thinking about this. Taverns of the future mara community centres and libraries are non-existent. Young people are unemployed and have nothing to do in their communities... and you're excited about sponsored beer halls. WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?
