Ummmm...no. What happened in the series is a depiction of sexual abuse and rape which happens in Nigerian prison. It's not a representation of a queer relationship. Rape, all forms of rape, is about power and has nothing to do with sexual attraction or desire.

One idea that has revolutionized my thinking is this: you are allowed to not want things.
You can look at everything society tells you that you need to have and just be like, “Nope. I will not be participating.”

[🍉🍉🇸🇩🇸🇩The Yassification of Chinua Achebe @Ethereal_ilo]

Nigerians are now aware that religion (any religion) should not be the basis of our constitution because we are a secular state. But where was this energy when our two major religions united in one accord to pass the SSMPA bill into law in 2014? Again, it's like jollof rice.

Is that my voice on a new #Invincible trailer???

The funniest thing about this “you could have an accident” conversation is that if I did have an accident today and was in hospital with zero brain activity, unable to move or communicate with the world, pissing and shitting myself and being turned over every few hours so I don’t get bed sores, not one of you would blink when my family pulled the plug.

But somehow, birthing a child to live that life is noble?

[SuperMegazillionaire Misty @misty_abisola]

Let’s say we even approach this the way we would approach any other policy proposal. If someone wants to introduce a new economic system, education system, or healthcare system, the first thing we ask is:

What has the track record been?
What outcomes has it produced?
What does the evidence say?

So why should Shariah be exempt from that scrutiny? There are dozens of Muslim-majority countries in the world today. Some implement aspects of Shariah, some implement significant portions of it, and some claim it as the foundation of their legal system.

If you want Shariah in Nigeria, where is the evidence? Why do you want non-Muslims to ignore the much larger number of countries practising shariah struggling with poverty, conflict, instability, weak institutions, corruption, or authoritarian governance?

And before anyone says “that’s not real Sharia,” that’s exactly my point.
Every failure of Shariah is always dismissed as bad implementation.
At what point do we evaluate the system based on the outcomes it actually produces in the real world rather than the ideal version that exists in theory?

Nigeria is already battling insecurity, corruption, weak institutions, religious tensions, and selective justice.
Why should a multi-religious country introduce a legal framework that is deeply contested, heavily dependent on interpretation, and implemented differently across the Muslim world?
What problem does Sharia solve that a fair, effective, and properly enforced legal system cannot solve? What are the success stories of the muslim-majority states already practising it?

RE: Faithful but Not Religious

I spent the better part of six years deconstructing religion. These days, I'm no longer actively deconstructing.

People often ask how I reconcile my faith with my politics. The answer is “I don’t”. By not being religious, I am not committed to a rigid adherence to doctrines or tenets that conflict with my politics of liberation. At this point, you may ask: "Isn't that just picking and choosing?" Yes, it is.

There is not a SINGLE person on earth who does not pick and choose. Every one interprets, prioritises, contextualises, and emphasises certain aspects over others. The idea that anyone practices a religion in its entirety, untouched by culture, politics, history, personal experience, or modernity, is largely a fiction.

[Isiego.. @Isiego_]

There is no justifiable reason why the laws of a particular religion should take precedence in a country with other religions. Wtf are you guys on about???

There’s so much emotional incest going on there and it’s crazy.

[tomi ❤︎ @tomixoxoxo]

i wish you people would stop having abortion discussions with men. you’re wasting your time on a back and forth with people who are famously known to be selfish and always put themselves first. if you like keep unwanted or a disabled foetus because your christian brothers said so

[Tegbe! @TomiwaTegbe]

Christian Twitter for “you’re banished from Ba sing se” should please.

Abuja I’m all three inches deep inside you wys…🤭

[Chinwendu Nwangwa @msnwangwa]

I know the bulk of you pro-life people do not really care about children, except it is a foetus that presents an opportunity for you to have a say over the bodily autonomy of female bodies.

You abuse or condone the abuse of children and call it discipline. You do not seek justice for child victims of sexual abuse. You are not interested in providing stable homes for parent-less children. You are not invested in ensuring that children’s right are protected.

You do not lobby the government to provide the necessary care for disabled children, better healthcare for infants and mothers, or stronger punishments for rapists who rape and impregnate children.

But yea, you “care about the life of the child,” so abortions should be criminalised. Mind you, all the criminalisation ensures is that more female bodies end up dead or sickly because they would not get access to safe abortions.

Y’all can actually go all the hell with your alleged value for human life that does not cover the lives of already existing people.

[Shoshanna🇪🇸 @anndrenalynn]

@LarryMadowo This Nigerians-are-aggressive/talkative rhetoric is the reason someone from another African country will meet an introverted Nigerian and refuse to believe they're Nigerian. Nigerians are not a monolith. Some of us are quiet, reserved, taciturn, shy, introverted, and calm.

[Chinwendu Nwangwa @msnwangwa]

I never anticipated how enjoyable being with a yearner—someone who wakes up with a smile when his eyes open to my face, and starts to sing my praise and profess their love with their first words of the day—would be.

Yea, my steak is juicy af.

[Lit! @JusttLit]

Do you know how annoying it is seeing and hearing all these terrorists have done and are doing, maiming, destroying lives and properties, raping men, women and children. And our government will still call for leniency and understanding because they are supposedly our brothers??

[Kunle Kenny -The Joy Dispenser @kunle_kenny]

I hope we all know that it only takes one catastrophic event in a large gathering of believers for those in authority to ban public gathering of believers in large numbers in this country.
Many Nigerian Christians are in denial, a pretentious one. You cannot wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. We are at war with islamic terrorism and the instruments of state are being used to back terrorists. When we wake up, we will do what is right!

[Ndi Kato (Ungwan Masara's finest) @YarKafanchan]

The term was deliberately created to downplay the severity of what happens to Nigerians because it is a particular group doing it. They would have been easily tagged terrorists if they were a group from Ogbomoso. Nigeria is a crime scene.
