I’ve seen a lot of reviews about Tyler Perry’s Straw.

But no one is talking about the absence of a father.

So here’s what really stayed with me after watching it.

🧵 A thread:

One of the most sensible and intelligent women I’ve seen today. 💯

People oversell themselves in job applications.
The energy they use while applying is sometimes completely different from the energy they bring once they actually get the job.

May we never lose the enthusiasm, to work for the opportunities we once prayed for.

@MrCharlesky I’m interested 😪

Things you cannot understand until you have experienced them yourself:

[Omobolaji Ajibare @tsocialmediaoga]

If you are a new social media manager, you have no business taking on any client and then coming to ask for help on how to manage that client.

Why not get proper training first? It annoys me a lot when people come to our community and say “I have a client now but I don’t know how to manage them, because I don’t have a proper training yet”.

Then why did you take on the client?
You are part of the people that give social media managers a bad name. It’s not always about money. Our reputation is already flawed.

Sighs

I’m awake by 8AM typing this.

I just woke up angry again for no reason and now I understand why. It’s this country, so many things are wrong it’s just terrible.

1. Government : We’re living in a country where our leaders are operating like the country is a family business. There’s no single empathy and concern for the citizens. We’re in a country where governor’s are more interested in pleasing the president than anything else, I have no issues with governors seeing off a president at the airport, but then taking another plane to go to london so you can welcome him to london again just makes no sense.

2. Security : The kind of atrocities happening in Nigeria, if it was in another country, they’d be a state of emergency right now. And it doesn’t look like any of the leaders are bothered. You can hear the news that 30 people were killed in a stare today, and you’ll just go on to play football 30 minutes later, because you’re getting used to it. It’s no longer a breaking news, it’s just another unfortunate news.

3. Money : I know the country is poor but the money worshiping is just too much, physically and virtually. You can post being suicidal and someone will still beg you for money in the comments. On the street, in your house, service providers, everywhere. It’s tiring.

4. Unity : No single unity as a nation, I’ve never seen a group of people so easy to divide in my life.. Even when united, we’re still divided.

5. No focus: We cannot decide on a goal and focus on it, our attention span is just too short to achieve something meaningful as a group. We’re always happy to use the act of the few to represent the whole.

6. Adaptations : This is one of our worst traits, the ability to just adapt to terrible situations, any small thing, instead of fixing the problem, we’re already looking for the alternative. What do you mean by I should change tomatoes with cucumber??? This is why all of us are short because there’s no nutrient in our body.
No light? Use gen.
No fuel? Use solar.
No safety of life? Please what should we use?

7. Education : The absolute disregard for any sort of education. We do not have enough positive examples of the result of education, or perhaps we just refuse to see it. It’s terrible. Like everyday, education loses its relevance…… Whyyyyyy????

8. No regard for human life : This is so crazy that it’s now a defence mechanism, you could see someone dying by the road side and everyone will just keep walking away, some don’t care and a lot are scared of being accused of causing harm to the victim. If you have an accident, the first set of first responders are busy trying to steal from you. It’s crazy. How long will it take to get the ambulance here? I’m sure you know the answer.

9. No regard or safety for women and children : Child marriage today, domestic violence tomorrow and it’s just not looking like it’ll stop soon.

10. No attention to detail : People are just used to doing terrible works now, it’s sad, from handiwork to professional workings, people just do the average and expect you to accept it, as long as it works. No arrangement, no process, nothing. You can take your laptop for repairs and when you get it back, two screws could be missing. I mean it’s well covered and all and now working, but why’s the screws not complete anymore????? Why??? let them fix tiles for your house and see how it’s just not aligned.

[Raye @Raye_Hg]

People are literally dying in Nigeria. Christians are being killed, communities are under attack, and families are losing loved ones. If we truly had our priorities straight, this is what the national conversation would be centered on.

Instead, the timeline is flooded with endless “50/50” relationship debates. It’s honestly exhausting and completely disconnected from the realities people are facing.

Why spend so much time arguing over something you claim you don’t even want? If it’s not for you, simply choose what works for you and move on.

There are far more serious issues demanding our attention right now.

[Yetunde Omobolanle✨ @Divayetty1]

Things you need to decenter as a woman:

[The Graced Olabisi @OlabisiZoey]

As a female born in Nigeria, the chances that you were raised to be male centered or seek men’s validation is quite high.

You must intentionally unlearn this as you grow older

[Bleble🌹 @Ayobami_52]

The cramps that happen even before the period even starts is enough to kill you

[♡⃝ @wine_x13]

I’m a girls’ girl and I say this with the intention of wanting the best for you:

Some of you turn into absolute losers once you get a boyfriend.

You abandon your hobbies, your friends, your dreams & goals- and willingly become a side-kick to someone else’s story.

[Berakah 🌸 @realberakah]

@Themediamadam True, I also hope personal experience doesn't either. Because no matter how many times I say I hate a man, I would never harm any of them. It's all a reaction, but we will all be fine. 🙂

[Ifediche @esther_stan]

When will women in Africa stop getting treated as second class citizens??

You wonder why the feminism in Africa is so loud and aggressive ? It’s because patriarchy and misogyny are loud and scary and aggressive . you don’t fight by being submissive , you fight by being loud and sadly ,our voices are all we have .

Women don’t occupy political positions, they’re not seen , respected and the few in power either fight to retain that small seat of power or join the men.

“Not the feminism y’all practice in Nigeria , white women are better and nicer”. You think we’ll be like this if the system favors women ?. White women have more rights, they’re protected… of course their feminism wouldn’t be like ours . What rights do we have ? What protection do we have? What police station will take in an abused and raped woman and fight for her without defending the man? . Do traditions , cultures favour women? You can’t grope a woman walking the streets in Uk but you can do that in Nigeria so excuse us if we’re loud ……THAT’S ALL WE HAVE!!

Our voices will remain loud , aggressive and strong because THAT’S ALL WE HAVE FOR NOW!!

[Ugbede @ugbede_ugbede]

“I am not a feminist”🤡

Mind you, between yesterday and today, multiple young ladies have been raped and molested by multiple men in Delta state Nigeria in the name of culture.

Let me repeat that, a day is set aside to rape any woman you see outside somewhere in delta state and I’m talking 2026.

As a Nigerian woman, you have to be extremely dense to come against feminist. You think you’re bigger than the misogynistic system that guides us?

You think you’re more special than the girls who were gang raped in Uni yesterday?

Nigerian women don’t even hate men enough, all we do is ask for equality and freedom. Imagine living your life in a country where it’s allowed to gang rape you .
I don’t even pray this on my worst enemies!

[Aproko Doctor Global @aproko_doctor]

Human beings make culture, human beings can change it.

The whole excuse of "it's our culture" is only made by people currently benefiting from it

[Berakah 🌸 @realberakah]

@tsocialmediaoga Me too 🥹
No matter the evil they do, I still have empathy.

[Omobolaji Ajibare @tsocialmediaoga]

Even if I hate a woman to my core, I will never leave her alone in a room full of men.

[Collins🦋 @collinstimbela_]

Accusing women of “sleeping their way to the top” is admitting that most men abuse their power for s*xual favors. They don’t wanna talk about that part though it doesn’t suit their patriarchal narrative.
