Nigeria's biggest problem isn't simply corruption. It's the absence of consequences. Corruption thrives where accountability is optional, injustice becomes normalised, and power provides immunity.

calling a woman “creepy” because she didn’t spend her life serving a husband and raising kids is exactly why some women choose peace instead...
This bitch is 65 years old, has never been married and never had kids, and lives in a castle with her cats? That’s so creepy

The concept of arguing with men over pregnancy is incredibly hilarious.

A woman will say she doesn’t want to have kids, you’ll see men under the post getting angry at her decision. Meanwhile you have the grace to also choose someone who matches what you’re looking for. Leave people and their choices alone. Eni bimo omo ni o sin, eleyi ti o bimo eya kan lo ma sin o.
