If I were pregnant and informed that my fetus had Down syndrome I would absolutely abort. No amount of social media romanticizing of profound disability would change my mind. Contrary to popular opinion, you need more than love to care for a disabled child.
white people really kill me with the hair color-ism lmfao
"he's never dated a blonde before"
and what does that mean? how does that affect your situation practically?
I’ve been watching a lot of “I moved back /Relocated to Nigeria” videos on YouTube and what saddens me is how they highlight with glee that you can get things “sooooo cheap” here. Nanny 50k per month. Chef 70k per month. So predatory. Let’s not promote that please.
Then one day, the Film Producers Association of Ghana (FIPAG) decided to introduce mandatory fees and permits for visiting Nigerian filmmakers. In retaliation, Nigerian producers restricted their use of Ghanaian actors in Nollywood productions.
Guess what happened years later?
Chibok Girls; The First Lady literally cried on live TV. She was even turned to a meme.
Yoruba children, Yoruba teacher beheaded; President and First Lady are celebrating APC primaries but you don’t see the issue because you are in Lekki & it’s not your nieces or nephews (yet).
One thing about your appearance is that, when you dress dirty because you’re broke, people might help you out of pity, but nobody is giving a million or more to a person that appears that way. At most, they’d give you what will sort 2-3 meals.
But when you’re dressed neatly, you look approachable, you smell good, people will feel comfortable enough to come closer to you, people can trust you with their money, put you on big projects worth millions that can change your life. People feel you deserve more than that 3 meal money from the way you’re dressed, and you just see yourself attract some big opportunities.
Remember, the way you’re dressed is how you’ll be addressed. You really don’t need to look like your problems.
No matter how much you try to rationalize it or play mind games with yourself, only one answer will come to mind. That alone should tell you everything you need to know. Still, we can all choose to keep deceiving ourselves.
