The body is asking for more time and I’m listening ❤️‍🩹
Sad to be missing this WAFCON yet hopeful in the prospect of getting to fight alongside these women again with the support of Nigerians everywhere when the body is ready to compete again.
So, in the meantime, back these women, back them on their quest for victory once more. Go easy on them, they need you 💚
I am with you ladies 🫶🏽

What’s that, @DaleVince? You want to give me an unconditional personal gift of £5million to do whatever I want with? Sure! I just need to fill out a form. If I didn’t declare it that would be silly.

“Why are they so quick to point out it’s a white male?!”

Probably because you fucking lunatics would start getting drunk, rioting, committing arson and pushing all sorts of deranged misinformation if they didn’t.

Wow you can actually see the moment where Reform’s Laila Cunningham’s soul exits her body
This is the car crash of all car crashes, and again it’s all because they’re out under strict instructions to defend Farage’s abject shittery and greed

Embarrassing

Zandile Tshuma was an Associate Director in the Data Analytics team at the Forensic Risk Alliance firm in London but you want to reduce her to a slay queen because it feeds your internalized misogyny. Kwana!

This teaching is actually quite popular in White Evangelical circles.

The first edition of Dake's Annotated Reference Bible was published in 1963 - and it was solidly in favour of the "Curse of Ham" thesis - in addition to opposing interracial marriage.

Many Evangelical pastors in Nigeria, Africa and of course, the Bible Belt of the USA - imbibed Dake's teachings on "racial inferiority and superiority".

This so incensed the late Dr. Frederick K.C. Price (an African American Pentecostal Preacher) - that he vocally denounced Dake's teachings on these topics - he produced a series in the late 1980s and 1990s.

But the "Curse of Ham" nonsense, long preceded Dake. It evolved as a justification for slavery. The Portuguese picked it up from Arab Slave Traders, who picked up from Jewish scholars.

The "rationale" - was that since there was no support for slavery solely on the basis of race in the New Testament, then "Christian Slavers" - had to trawl around for "supporting scriptures" somewhere, and they zeroed in on the "Curse of Ham" in the Old Testament.

Neither Jesus, Peter, Paul or any of the Apostles had any time for the "Curse of Ham" nonsense - because they were neither slave traders nor slave owners who had to "justify" their livelihood, before an audience in a "Christian nation".

That wasn't the case in the American South - and that is why the American South (like many other slave owning "Christian" societies) - produced "interesting theologies".

And these "interesting theologies" continue to influence many African Christians - but that is a topic for another day. (Hint: Jesus didn't emphasize "tithing" as much as many of our MoGs do today).

How you help yourself to "let go" of this "freedom" illusion that has been successfully sold to you by Hollywood and US-funded media and civil society is to ask yourself a few important questions:

What exactly is "freedom"? Is "freedom" the ability to thumbprint on a ballot paper that will be tippexed at the collation centre with your vote given to APC regardless of who you voted for?

Is "freedom" the ability to make social media skits insulting your president that was imposed on you by a foreign power even though nobody voted for him?

Is "freedom" the ability to rant endlessly on Twitter about your "bad leaders", knowing fully well that you are just wasting English and kilobytes to no end whatsoever?

Joseph Stalin once said “It is difficult for me to imagine what "personal liberty" is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment. Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread. Only in such a society is real, and not paper, personal and every other liberty possible.”

I think that's a much more constructive way of viewing "freedom." Poor, deprived, uneducated people are not, and can never be "free" in any meaningful sense. What use are my "constitutional freedoms" if my stomach is empty? If my stomach and my brain are empty, I am automatically a slave to whoever can put bread in my belly and information in my head - and that person automatically has the power to turn me into a weapon fashioned against myself and those around me. In that situation, which describes most of modern Africa, can you describe me as "free"?

"Democracy" and "freedom" are some of oyibo's most dangerous linguistic weapons when used in the context of people living on a per capita income of less than $3,000/year. Where are you likelier to live a full, happy life - Nigeria or China? Nigeria supposedly has the "democracy" that China doesn't - why are Nigerians leaving that "freedom" and migrating to China for a better life, instead of the other way around? Why do North Koreans have a life expectancy that is over 20 years longer than Nigerians? Why do the Vietnamese have much better lives than most Nigerians who have ever existed?

All of the years you have spent thumbprinting ballot papers for candidates that the US embassy will never allow to win, China has been doing 5-year plans and becoming the world's greatest country.

The whole country knows what Jeremy Corbyn's front door looks like. The media used to camp outside it every day.

Nigel Farage hasn't received even 5% of the treatment Jeremy Corbyn faced.
