@uncle_finesse I agree. The comment section of the post is filled with people justifying their nastiness with "on your big day".
It’s okay (not really) if they consider their wedding day as their big day, but assuming it for everyone else is just silly.
I will feel I failed myself as a person if I can’t afford to book a makeup artist for home service on my wedding day.
There’s no need glorifying poverty on ur big day, I mean ….!!!!
This isn’t a flex one bit
I have a friend who's based in Germany he visits Nigeria twice a year (June and December) and when he's returning he takes one of his siblings along. Today all his siblings, his wife and some of his in-laws are in Germany.
Some people are pathfinders. May God bless them 🙏
Many girls don’t realise it, but you are living in the most empowered, most connected, and most capable generation of women in West African history.
Today, more than ever, you have the opportunity to do what your grandmothers, great-grandmothers, and even mothers could only dream
I think we forget how incredibly rare Chimamanda’s success is.
She’s not a pop-star or model or actress, she’s a writer.
She’s a female African writer attending the MET Gala as part of the host committee.

@Mario9jaa Bro, not saying you lying but i really doubt you can finish the Bible before 15 unless maybe you did not read to understand, you are just scrolling through the pages 🥲
Moral but it's just dressing and LGBTQ. That's the beginning and the end of our morals in this country. You can take money that belongs to sick children, use it to build houses, celebrate in church and leave the children to die off, but at least we have morals.
Most of them do it so their kids grow up in a more ‘moral’ environment. Which is ironic because Nigeria is by no means a highly moral society. In this context, morality really comes down to intolerance for LGQBT and the latitude to ‘discipline’ kids without being questioned.
Many Nigerians are relocating themselves and their kids from the U.S. back to Nigeria so the kids can attend school there, especially those in elementary and high school. Later, they bring them back to the U.S. for college because they believe Nigerian schools focus more on discipline and resilience. It’s a bold move tho and not everyone can handle the adjustment
@DoyinJack What is street smartness if not some fancy word for cheating?
Determination to succeed? We just have a terrible economy that causes unnecessary hardship, and you have to work twice (or more) as hard as your peers.
