Interesting IP conversation. We will all learn what IP protects, "Ideas" or "works".

Happy Learning. Remember, Hire a Fashion Lawyer today.

IP lawyers, if you like do free work and be saying everything on the TL.

I haven't been on twitter today - but someone brought a few of my old tweets to my attention and I can't not address it.

14 years ago, I was 23, so I was definitely not a child. I'm not here to make excuses because I don't have anything to make excuses for. What I can't let anyone do is twist my story to fit false narratives.

In 2012, I lived and helped out at my mom's daycare while I was hustling my music. I tweeted everything that happened in my life, as we all did at the time. Kids can be mischievous. If a child did something I found funny, I tweeted about it. Kids are cute and lovable. I want to hug, kiss and cuddle them. I tweet about it. Nothing I tweeted was from perversion.

I was not famous, so maybe if I was, I would have understood that anything is open to whatever interpretation including being used falsely by a faceless mob. I've never been depraved in my life. You can retweet all the tweets in the world about me loudly crushing on people I admire/d. Or being a cheeky young woman. I wasn't trying to hide it, because I don't have anything to hide.

My team has been deleting some of my tweets because of how sensitive it is for my family. To be honest, I did not want to. I have always spoken against rape and sexual assault even before you knew I existed. It's not a costume I'm wearing, it's who I am. I've never claimed to be perfect. I've never claimed to know everything. I said stop raping women. I stand by it.

I knew this was going to happen to Thompson 23. A small cafe that was serving its small community (of mostly non Nigerians appaz) is not gonna be ready for literally hundreds of people descending on them daily. And no place can scale up in 2 weeks.

How will they get a chance to train new staff when they’re swamped daily?

Add to that the fact that Nigerians have no grace, patience nor sense of order and you get a chaotic mess.

I don’t know how you enter a place and see 20 people in front of you and still be upset that it took you 30 minutes to get your order.

Should they be processing an order every 30 seconds?

@ridwanullah One thing is sure:
Whether now or later, you go pay lawyer.

This week, there will lots of “IT HAS HAPPENED” to this post on Jesus’ name.

[Teniola | Global @teakanni]

@justchrisaj Sometimes the artiste provides details late or changes tracklist last min, assuring you they have a gentleman’s agreement in place with the other contributors.

Clearance after release isn’t fun. It’s rarely intentional… except when ignorance is involved.

You know your friendship circle is clean and full of sensible people if you have never heard about CBEX. I never heard of anything called CBEX till 2 days ago when weeping and gnashing of teeth started.
