I think one of the most exhausting things about the internet right now is how criticism has become so deeply tied to negativity. Everything has to be dragged. Everything has to be called trash. Everything has to be framed in the harshest, most dismissive way possible or people feel like they’re not being “honest.” Children of Blood and Bone is a fantasy adaptation. Not a Yoruba history textbook. Not a documentary. Not a dissertation on cultural purity. It’s F*CKING FANTASY! You can critique creative choices. Of course. But some of the discourse stops being critique and starts becoming this rush to tear things down, and punish anything that isn’t perfect even when it doesn’t say it is. A Black diasporic fantasy story being made at this scale is still a win. Representation, imagination, visibility, and world building that matters too!! Not every culturally inspired story has to function as literal cultural instruction to be valuable. And not every critique needs to become a public demand for alienation. This is huge for all of us. It’s not perfect but nothing in the world is. I’m excited to watch. Hope yall are too and tbh I’ve heard the accents and yall would hate it 😭 NGL sha 😂😂

This is such a frustrating stupid take. The books are really good. ITS A FANTASY not a Yoruba history lesson. Heavily influenced by Yoruba culture yes. Is it a good movie?! From what I’ve seen YES!! 🙄 people love to hate and critique everything GOD!

We’re funding the luxury lifestyle of Tinubu’s ministers While millions of Nigerians struggle with rising prices, hardship, and deep economic uncertainty, members of Tinubu’s government continue to flaunt a lifestyle far removed from the pain of ordinary citizens. Today’s controversy over the luxury sunglasses worn by the Minister of Arts and Culture, Hajiya Hannatu Musa Musawa, is more than just a conversation about fashion. It is a painful reminder of the disconnect between this government and the people it claims to serve. The eyewear, reportedly identified as Gucci GG1244S-001 and valued at about $566.84, roughly ₦764,000, has sparked outrage for good reason. At a time when many Nigerians cannot afford food, transport, school fees, or basic healthcare, public officials under Tinubu’s administration continue to project comfort, excess, and indifference. This is the real tragedy of the moment: while citizens make sacrifices daily, those in power appear to be enjoying the benefits of a system financed by the suffering of the masses. Nigerians are not angry because the rich live well. Nigerians are angry because public office under Tinubu is increasingly looking like a gateway to luxury while the people are left with hunger, inflation, and broken promises.

This is Nigeria fashion ✨ Thread
