During my university days, Mathematics students didn’t attend Use of English and Communication in English classes. We only photocopied their materials before the exam and the least marks for a student is 97A, while reading them on our mattresses.
If you are not picking up your pen, sitting at the table, and practising mathematical problems daily and let your pen gets used to the solution, until the exam day, you will most likely carry the course over.
Mathematics is not hard, but it is toxic, hostile, and sadistic. It requires forceful romancing before it finally gets along with you.
In trying so hard to avoid telling men not to rape, they’ve written a full care manual for handling a dangerous animal at the zoo.
Don’t feed it, don’t make sudden movements, don’t be alone with it.
Every line assumes the man is an uncontrollable animal and the woman’s job is to not provoke it
hello twitter. i just dropped an EP titled ‘take it izzy’, which I completely directed, produced half and mixed all songs myself with my phone using bandlab, with absolutely no A.I help. Please listen and share 💚
One hill I am absolutely willing to die on: no book adaptation will EVER live up to the expectations we have for it. The page wins every single time and we all know this.
Ben Akponine Samuel, wherever you are, I need you to know that you were my favorite author as a kid.
I loved your books so much, I would use my snack money to get your storybooks

Lemme answer this in 8 points. But let me begin from you. I want you all to tag him to this so that he can see this.
1. You composed a criticism of an important article of the Creed of the Catholic church. I really wish you didn't, but you, as a Christian decided to write that. Has the Catholic intercession of the saints ever stopped you from achieving your life's goal, or you decided to join the bandwagon of those who criticize the Catholic church for clicks?
2. The idea that the saints are dead or that asking for their prayers is a white man's invention fundamentally misunderstands both Scripture and ancient Christian history.
3. Jesus explicitly stated in the Gospels that God "is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him" (Luke 20:38). Because Christ defeated death, those who die in faith are more alive today in heaven than we are on earth.
4. The Church is just one big family. If you can ask your friend on earth to pray for you, you can definitely ask your older siblings in heaven to do the same. Plus, African saints like St. Augustine were doing this centuries before European colonization even started.
5. Saying this is a white man's idea makes no sense because African Traditional Religion (ATR) does the exact same thing. In ATR, people respect and talk to their Ancestors (the living-dead), asking them to intercede with God for protection. Catholicism and African tradition actually agree here: the people who lived good lives before us still look out for us.
6. In real life, if you want a job, a visa, or a favor, you look for a connection, someone with influence who can put in a good word for you. That’s all intercession is. It’s not worship. It is just utilizing your network in high places. Just as you used your connection to arrest that unfortunate guy who insulted your wife.
7. The idea that you either pray or fight is a false choice. Praying doesn't mean you sit back and do nothing. Some of the biggest fighters in history, like St. Joan of Arc or St. Oscar Romero, were deeply spiritual. Prayer isn't an excuse to quit. It is the fuel that gives you the strength to stand up and fight your battles.
8. At the end of the day, everyone has their own way of connecting with God and finding strength. Mocking how someone else worships doesn't make anyone stronger. Respecting people's faith is just basic human decency.
I’ve never wanted something as badly as I want my life to dramatically change for the better and the best over the next few months. It’s time. It’s my time.
I don't think you guys understand man
