@gbamila__ @mulanszn @damiii_mi This was a beautiful read

No one really talks about the grief of same-gender love.
How heavy it is to lose someone you can’t even tell your parents about.
A heartbreak you have to mourn in silence,
because the love itself was something you had to hide.

I want to hear your laughter at 1am. Picture you and I riding our new car, on the third mainland bridge, or better still, in new country by 1am, singing out our lungs, kissing, drinking our healthy smoothie, and our laced cookies.

Picture you and I, staggering to our bed after, clothes going off, you inside me, and me inside you. Sweating hormones, and moaning sweet nonsense into our horny ears.

Just picture you and I, deeply in love, in our beautiful country home, with lots of trees and flowers.

No matter how necessary you think it is, don't come out to your straight friends if you've never had conversations about their thoughts about gay people.

Or don't even come out to them at all, I promise you that validity you think you need is not worth it.

In 2014 through February 2016, I had who I considered a best friend.

We did our assignments together, we planned our day's activities around ourselves. He was staying in the school hostel and I was living off campus.

Sometimes, when he needs privacy with his girls, I leave my apartment for them. He was mostly with my ATM card. And was the first friend I took him. My parents still ask of him.

Fast forward to February 2016, I needed someone to talk to, and I felt my supposed best would be there for me. I told him about my sexuality, and his first reaction was to deny my sexuality. He said it was a lie and I was playing a prank on him.

Well, the call went on for three more minutes of me explaining, and him saying he doesn't have anything against my sexuality. Bla bla bla.

That was the last time he answered my calls. He never called nor responded to my messages until July that year. But, I already moved on from him.

This was someone that won't go a day without leaving a message since we became friends.

i've been single for 4 years.

i've walked away from more people than i can justify. and last month, i blocked someone i was ready to call my partner.

i wrote an essay about it. about whether the part of me that always sees it coming is protecting me or just keeping me alone.

You meet someone new and y’all bond so effortlessly and you are like “where have you been all my life?!”

Two weeks later they go back to where they have been all your life

This is a reminder that some people’s grandchildren in Jos have just been slaughtered overnight and they also deserve to be able to speak to their family members on a day like this.

In 1993, the world population was estimated at 5.5 billion people. In 2025 and 2026, the world population is 8 billion people.

In 1993, only TV and computers were available. In 2025/2026, you can be walking on the road, while streaming the Super Bowls.

So, Michael Jackson is still the greatest.

We all have these days when we don't want to wake up.

Days when you beg the universe for any hint of sign.

Just something to let you know you are on the right track.

Days you doubt who you are, or where you are even going.

Days you anxiously retrace your steps to know when it all went wrong.

Had you taken the other road, maybe things would have been better.

Maybe you would have found yourself instead of losing hope and yourself in a dark inky tunnel.

That sounds pretty good, right?

We all deserve a little faith.
We deserve a little reassurance.
We deserve to open our eyes and rejoice that we are alive.
Don't we deserve that?
To marvel at our existence.

Because, at some point, I'm starting to get confused by all these.
The whole rat race.
Chasing other people's dreams.
Because it all ends in death.
Flesh to flesh.
Flesh to sand.

So, my friends, wake up, you're a wild fire.
Those scars you carry, all those years
Wear them with honour
They are your stories
Don't waste any precious moment down on yourself.
Wake up.
You deserve better.

Burn bright.

Relax,

Don't ask anyone out,
don't flirt with anyone,
just live.

Learn a new skill
A musical instrument
Code
Write
Document
Read books

Travel far away
Eat food
Excersice

And let the right person walk into your life by themself.
You will know them when you see them.

Stop trying

You've done enough.

"If you think men will show you shege or d3str0y you, try dating a woman" - Lady says as she shares her lesbian story.

The closet isn’t safety. It’s silence. And no form of liberation has ever come from silence. I hate when people who are silent try to silence the people who are speaking up against injustice. No one is safe until everyone is.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Change has never been easy. It takes persistence and determination, and requires all of us to speak out and stand up for what we believe in. As we honor Dr. King today, let’s draw strength from his example, and do our part to build on his legacy.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Happy birthday to the woman who lights up every room she walks into. I love you, Miche.

[IJEM🌻 @SoChukwumaijem_]

To all queer people all over the world, especially in Nigeria, may 2026 bring peace to you. Never forget your purpose of living, and if you haven't figured it out, do not relent in the search for purpose.

Happy new year.
