I wonder what Carl Sagan meant when he said that humans are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.

"until the lion learns to write, every story will glorify the hunter"

The story of Africa and Nigeria in this context has too often been reduced to poverty, tribal conflict, colonialism and the arrival of Europeans; as though civilization itself began when European ships reached our shores.

This video isn't about romanticizing the past neither does knowing your history become bragging about the past.

It's about asking a much more uncomfortable question:
Who benefits when a people forget what they were capable of before they were conquered?

You cannot fully understand your present or imagine a different future if you have been taught to see your own history through someone else's eyes. No nation can grow beyond the imagination of its people.

It's time to break the psychological chains that tells Africans that everything valuable must come from somewhere else.

If you are not enjoying your book, you are free to close it and never open it again. Even if it's a classic that everyone loved. A book has one job, it literally only has to be interesting. If it's not, have no guilt about not finishing it.

@Elkrosmediahub Someone bringing up empathy triggering past events like health issues or a dead relative or even threatening suicide when they are being broken up with is one sign of a cluster B personality disorder like Narcissistic personality or Borderline personality disorders

@Hybrid_Ola I never understood the outrage friends have when such things are kept from them for a while👀

Can you give one example of luxury in Africa that is not Eurocentric?

@xoeeie She didn’t give up everything for the man. She has always wanted to live on land with legs, she just fell in love and got what she had always wanted as the same time.

@__Faves Never burped my baby
Don’t be scared, his experience has little correlation with burping or not burping him. The only thing not burping will do to some babies is them getting fussy more due to the trapped gas. Enjoy motherhood!

@thebolamontana I understand where you are coming from, however, this tweet could also end up discouraging survivors from speaking up. A lot of organizations work to help victims and people should not be scared to speak up regardless.
Remaining silent is protecting the abuser.

@HotSexyMamaElla It started from “we have to protect this gender at all costs, they are too delicate and important to be subjected to the woes of daily living”

@cas_Reloaded Including getting pregnant?!

@somtodeyforyo Underneath all the outrage this book has provoked, is envy- slimy and hot and green.

[jill @of_all_ills]

The discourse around this book is a clear case of people judging a book by its cover and title. Non fictional books are like art- meant to evoke emotions and reactions so it not necessarily a bad thing.
All publicity is good publicity so, well done one this one❤️
