@ivanvespasian Like hello, apart from sexual relationships with cousins, marriage between cousins is quite a thing in several countries. And most people are just being transphobic, leave the incest and they'll still have something to say

This is precisely why literary criticism matters — some readers simply are not very good at reading. And by reading, I do not mean recognising words on a page; I mean the ability to discern style, subtext, thematic structure, and the holistic architecture of a text.

In The Death of Vivek Oji, why was Vivek portrayed as having mental illness at first? The intimacy with his cousin also felt unnecessary to me

A Christian pastor who is not only misogynistic, but racist. Unsurprisingly, the bible is his source of moral justification.

You may disagree with this take, but she is not wrong. I have seen and heard things about how certain people approach Nigerian queer literature.
If you are homophobic, why not just avoid queer books as a whole? Why read it then start exhibiting bigotry? I don’t get it at all😒

Mainstream Nigerian readers do not know how to interact with queer Nigerian literature and it’s such a big reminder that just because you’re ‘reading’ doesn’t mean you’re truly engaging your brain.

@_oyin_dam_ola Seriously ooo. Why read it? You'd think using the right pronouns for people reduce one's lifespan

I hate when people shit talk on The Death of Vivek Orji. You shit talk on the book, and still use the wrong pronouns for the author. If not FOMO, why are you so transphobic and you are reading The Death of Vivek Orji? And then start crying after reading, are you possessed????

This generation is "progressive" una. Very damaged generation that are not ready to unpack their traumas and unlearn certain things.

I have never seen a critique of this particular book that did not sound stupid. Is this really how you and the majority of the people in the quotes and comments interact with literature 😭 pls don't read the book again, go and read James Patterson or sumn

Ohh!! The waters are murky!!! Whenever a man who has been accused of SA finds God, you know what’s up. The church loves their men rapey.

Feminism in Nigeria is all vibes , literally no direction

I wish feminism had more direction like that of east Asia compared to Nigeria.

I hate it when someone attaches several tweets to their comment section. I always scroll past but sometimes I just can't because the tweet is so lit I have to know what others are saying about it.

Religion, it strips us of our empathy. The urge to praise god because you’re better than your neighbor when in actual sense, you were just lucky.

Sharing a public testimony about surviving the same accident your friend d!ed in is insane

I was today's years old when I learnt that the correct spelling is "remuneration" and not "renumeration".
I think renumeration has become acceptable too since it's widely used.

I just realised a mistake I made in my teenage years:
I should have had an account where I record the names of people I borrowed books. Like a debtors list.
Now, I don't have any of my books, especially my beloved Think Big🤦.

@5strbamo You see that 'we're better than our parents' ? That's the biggest lie ever.
