During that Christland school girl saga, one of my tweets was mass reported. Twitter then restricted my account and gave me the option to delete the 'offending' tweet to regain access.
I had chaotic internal deliberations over it for some time and in the end, I deleted it.
Immediately after, I felt myself losing virtue
I felt gagged
I felt like a coward
felt I had betrayed myself
felt I had cowered in the face of consequence
felt my illustrious slave owning ancestors look down on me in disappointment regret and contempt.
Couldn't shake the feeling, so I asked myself
"What's the worst thing that can happen if I make that same tweet again"
"You lose an account with 14k followers"
Was the answer
Small price to pay
So I made the tweet again.
A couple hours later, the account got suspended.
Saw the pop up notification on the bottom right corner of my screen while working and swelled with pride
Because I had redeemed myself, regained my dignity and the respect of my ancestors
I had stood on business until the very end - the business here being going against concensus and saying what I believe to be true irrespective of how much it costs me.
Moral of the story:
Those who say they want a better Nigeria
Those who admonish others to get their pvc, have refused to realise that the Nigeria they want will not happen via the ballot box.
We have been trying that channel for decades across republics. It doesn't work
So the Nigeria they want - or more realistically, the version of Nigeria they want - whatever name it is called, will have to be payed for in blood
A lot of it
2027 will come, Tinubu will 'win' - Whatever 'win' means
And we will either tweet about it over a weekend, and resume work on the Monday that follows
Or we will make the country ungovernable until he steps down. Shots will ring out, blood will spill, mothers will cry but that is the only way
If we are not willing or able to do that; to suffer, to sacrifice, to bleed, then we do not want a country that works
Our desire for a better Nigeria, is in a fundamental sense, like my belief in the freedom of speech:
It is only as meaningful as the price we are willing to pay for it.
If we are not willing to suffer for it, we do not want it.
Desire without sacrifice is wishful thinking
and if wishes were horses...
You'd ask yourself why a covenant uni girl that grew up in festac would still choose hoeing.
Main factor is that these women from privileged homes become sex crazed from young age as a result of a liberal upbringing.
Worse is that she's an Igbo girl born in Lagos. Gutter bunch
In your career, you will meet a co-worker who hates you for no reason. It is very important you keep showing up at your best, keep triggering them and their insecurities.
You can mock Nigerian girls all you want for lacking communication skills, but the truth is that Nigerian society is generally hostile to honest conversation.
The more Nigerians you deal with, the more you notice a pattern: people avoid saying things directly. They deflect, suppress, and sidestep difficult discussions until, seemingly out of nowhere, there's an emotional outburst.
Many of our siblings, parents, lecturers, bosses, and peers exhibit this trait to varying degrees: avoid, deflect, avoid—then suddenly, get mad.
I knew long ago we would not win today. It was just not our time yet.
But in the next 12 to 24 months, we are winning it. Stake your life savings.
I told everyone I knew since jan, we would win PL but lose all other cups but we will win UCL from next year.
Why are you bothering yourself with silly shit like "has any club congratulated Arsenal"?
N!gga, we are Premier League Champions. 🏆
We don't GAF!

Funny thing is most women more often than not, love to call their men "sir" or "daddy" without you even requesting for it.
Your posturing on SM by clowning it can't negate natural wiring.
You're just an imbecile.
One thing I like about myself is holding a mirror to your face.
The energy you give me, I will give you back. Good or bad. Anyhow you want it.
I clock and read your thoughts and intentions as quickly as possible in milliseconds. What I do with it is up to me.
