What’s the most Nigerian dad thing your father has ever done?

Twitter: reply with a screenshot of the chat, a video, or tell the story with a picture of you and your dad.
Winners will be picked and announced tomorrow.
Kids are people, not accessories you pick off a shelf, if you’re lonely please get a dog. Because kids grow up, build their own lives, form their own values(that you might not agree with) and they probably won’t need you.
That’s why you really have to think things through before making that commitment.
Candice Brathwaite was spitting nothing but facts in this episode!
If you haven’t listened yet, RUN, don’t walk. It’s out now on all streaming platforms + YouTube.
Because many of you shared and reposted with such care, I feel I owe it to you to share this. My cousin, Sinmi, was found dead. This has been a blow to our family.
To everyone who reposted, shared, and reached out during the search, thank you for your kindness. May her soul RIP🙏
Nigeria has one of Africa’s lowest numbers of female parliamentarians. The suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, one of four women in the 109-member senate sparked protests and online misogynistic abuse. The BBC's @briticoyemo has more.

The days that followed made it clear that while some women had the choices of either supporting her or remaining silent, they chose the latter & proceeded to attempt to publicly humiliate her across multiple news outlets.
This is the sad the reality for a lot of women who speak up and we must commend senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for her courage to insist on justice and fairness.
“We believe that it is unconstitutional to scapegoat women for speaking out against sexual harassment”
Read our full statement below:
We at Document Women are deeply concerned about the handling of the sexual harassment petition against Senate President Godswill Akpabio by the Senate Committee on Ethics, Code of Conduct, and Public Petitions.
In addition to the case being dismissed for “procedural flaws”, the petitioner, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Ufuaghan, has been suspended for six months without pay and is required to write an apology letter for the Senate to consider lifting or reducing her suspension. Alarmingly, this judgment was delivered by the individual accused in a case he also presided over.
This situation represents an assault on justice, and it poses a risk of a similar miscarriage of justice for every Nigerian woman. We believe that it is unconstitutional to scapegoat women for speaking out against sexual harassment. No legal technicality should overshadow the seriousness of allegations of sexual harassment, which merit a thorough, impartial, and transparent investigation.
This misuse of legalities reflects an institution that frequently silences women and raises concerns about its integrity in ensuring that all Nigerians, regardless of gender, are treated with dignity and respect.
While we applaud Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for resubmitting the sexual harassment petition against Akpabio, this should never have happened in the first place. We are therefore calling for Senate President Akpabio to step down to allow for an independent investigation.
Our legislative processes should not be used as tools to silence those seeking justice. We stand in solidarity with Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan and all women who bravely come forward with similar allegations.
We urge the Senate and relevant authorities to ensure a fair and transparent investigation, free from procedural obstacles, in order to uphold the principles of ethical governance, accountability, justice, and equality for all.
Signed,
Document Women.
Yes get tested but let’s get rid of the words clean & dirty when we’re talking about STDs & STIs. There’s multiple circumstances where ppl get them & it’s not their fault & they are not dirty ppl bc of it. We’re adults so let’s talk abt them, but let’s also break the stigma.
Men get HPV, pass it onto women who get cervical cancer
That's why it's worth men getting the HPV vaccine too
(it also protects men from HPV related cancers too)
Today, so much is on the line.
On one hand, we have HIM, a felon, a comfortable liar, an impeached president, a misogynist, and a non-leader who doesn’t care about anyone, but the top 1%...which excludes over 300M Americans.
And on the other hand, we have HER, Kamala Harris, a proven leader, a knowledgeable, lifelong civil servant for the people, and a compassionate human being with the strength to lead and navigate our complex government who puts the needs of all Americans first….a candidate with a detailed plan to take us forward.
What does a new way forward look like, you ask?
1. Cut Taxes for Working People
2. Lower Food and Grocery Costs
3. Lower Health Care Costs
4. Lower Prescription Drug Costs
5. Lower Energy Costs
6. Lower Costs by Protecting Consumers from Fees and Fraud
7. Help Americans Buy a Home and Afford Rent
8. Invest in the Small Businesses that Drive Growth, Innovation, and Jobs
9. Invest in American Innovation and Industrial Strength Powered by American Workers
10. Create Security and Opportunity for Workers and Build a Care Economy
11. Strengthen Opportunity in Communities Across America
12. Protect Americans’ Ability to Retire With Dignity
13. Make Our Tax Code More Fair and Promote Growth
My personal favorite - She supports all women having agency over their bodies and reproductive functions - from wellness care, to abortion, to IVF treatment. I mean, for this, she had me at HELLO!
So, take a hard look at what’s on the table. If you don’t exercise your power, you forfeit your right to complain or have an opinion.
VOTE TODAY AND LET’S GO FORWARD!

Vice President Kamala Harris will be the first president in history with experience in all 3 branches of government... judicial, legislative, and executive. So, to say this woman is not qualified or experienced to be president is solely based on racism and misogyny. We.see you.
