I’ve never felt similarly about the issues people have with Rebecca Lobo but today….. phew. Ryan talks about how Maya Moore moved on and if she was here the lynx would have not missed the finals for 7 years. Rebecca: Crickets!!! , Ryan comments on Betnijah Laney’s consistency. Rebecca: crickets!!!, No shade to Sabrina but Sabrina boxes out , Rebecca: not crickets, definitely starting to catch something suspicious here #WNBAFinals #WNBAPlayoffs #WNBATwitter #WNBA

@ayo_mik_ This casting, ko necessary 😂😂😂

I have added “Baller” to @Onome_AJ contact detail, because not only does she have a close relationship with the business enough to get a new discount code (after the holiday discount), THEY CREATED THE DISCOUNT CODE IN HER NAME!!!!!! God when!!!!!

i sing it like i’m the one that cheated

Why has Dijonai Carrington been sitting out these series 🤔, this is a whole different game with her in. Other connecticut guards have been so tentative

Ran into a former classmate of mine from back in college. He is Egyptian. Bright guy. A little crazy too. Participated in the Arab spring that sent Hosni Mubarak packing. Dude immediately asked me what dafuq is happening in Nigeria, and that he has been following up with proceedings before, during and after the Nigerian election, but to his greatest surprise, Nigerians are just talking and not doing anything on ground to register their displeasure on the election. I did my best to explain to him why we aren't hitting the streets just yet, the court process, tribunal, bla bla bla bla...Bruh rudely cut me off and said: "you people are too afraid", that we are weak, scaredy-cat, and cowards; and that all we do is talk talk talk....speak beautiful English like Americans (...afterall you people are very educated, he added), and after talking, nothing happens. He took a slight dig at us which I let slide. And then he added, "if you people don't do anything about the election, nobody in the world will take Nigerian youths serious. His words sank deep into my heart cus it was said with so much pain and authority. I could feel his angst, and the little jab he veily took at Nigerians, but I felt that doesn't matter. I stood there transfixed to the ground listening to him speak. Helpless. Motionless. We chatted about old times, school, career, old friends, business, family, etc, before dabbing and bidding ourselves goodbye. His words were cold, somewhat mockery, but real. It came from a good place, I thought, maybe not, it ranged through my head. I hope the Judiciary save the country from descending into anarchy. The law is plain and simple. If they choose to knee-cap justice, the people have every right to reject unjust interpretation of our laws. #AllEyesOnTheJudiciary

There are so many things I want to say about the past 3 years, but I am contractually prevented from saying them by my publisher, because they're going to be in my book 'Breaking Point: A Journalist’s Search For Joy In Times Of Chaos'. Suffice to say that I personally have paid a much higher price for all the work I do than most people are aware of. I have lived my ideology and walked my talk, but it has come at a massive personal cost, and I've had to chest it because what else can I do? I've always understood that if you want to be taken serious, you have to demonstrate how much of a bastard you are capable of being. The world has no use for peaceful people. Polite, inoffensive people who only speak well-conjugated English and do little else are not respected, and will never be. The world only takes any notice of people who DO, not people who SAY. If the world pigeonholes you as a coward who only likes to talk, you will never get anything out of it. The reason why Neymar and Ronaldo are now playing in the Saudi League and there is some social liberalisation happening across the Gulf today is because our contemporaries at Tahrir Square 12 years ago decided to DO instead of SAY. Their actions changed the Arab world forever. They have something to tell their children. I personally have done my part, and I have paid a terrible price for it. Just how terrible you really have no idea. The last time I had a fixed address, I was 28. I'm 33 years old now. I have never tried to be a hero. Everything I ever did was because I genuinely believed in walking my talk and acting my beliefs. That's why I've never asked for help or complained about my circumstances. Wednesday September 6 is the day that Nigerians will demonstrate to the world whether we have come of age and we deserve to be taken seriously, or if we are still polite English speakers who will find ways to merge with the wall when our backs are pushed against it. It sounds like a cliche to say that the world is watching, but the world really is watching this time. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the drug trafficker, document forger and unelected impostor illegally occupying the presidency, expects that he has successfully compromised Nigeria's judiciary, and will have his ludicrous power grab legitimised by the court. Despite this, he himself is so unsure of how this will play out with the Nigerian people that he has temporarily fled the country as he did during #EndSARS, citing the excuse of the G-20 summit - which actually starts on Saturday the 9th. I myself am doing media work at the G20 summit and I can tell you for free that nobody shows up this early. He and the rest of the world are simply waiting and watching to see whether Nigeria's 200 million+ people will by silence and/or cowardice, consent to be mocked in a way no other population of people this size has ever been mocked in recorded human history. His gamble is that we will. My hope is that we will not. If we prove him right, then the sacrifices that some of us have made would have been for nothing, and Nigeria, with all of its 200 million people would have agreed to be treated as if it is of no more consequence than Burundi or Equatorial Guinea. If we prove him wrong, then the future is whatever we want it to be. Whatever happens tomorrow, the world will be watching all 200 million Nigerians.

Someone built a frontend to Reddit that looks like Outlook so you can browse it all day at work without worrying about who is looking over your shoulder. I love the internet.

@vintage_duckie @heisrema @heisrema and lateness, 5&6

Rema was 2hs late in ATL, came on stage for 10 minutes. Complained about the terrible state of the venue and then disrespected us by canceling the show in our faces!!! Completely appalling and unnecessary @heisrema we want refunds

@DavidHundeyin @elonmusk 👀👀

Following the locking of my account for posting proof of perjury by Nigeria's "president-elect" on Monday, I submitted an appeal based on Twitter's stated rules regarding public-interest reporting. Shamefully, this is the result of the appeal that came in today.

@aproko_doctor I'm happy for you lol. It really is a problem of misunderstanding. The feature was originally to identify the right account for people who could be impersonated (either as a parody or for malicious reasons). Now the social meaning is different and SM is capitalizing on it

Imagine spending millions acquiring your "verification mark" now it's $84 per year, the alaroro in me has saved me.

So much respect for them!! making me rethink returning to college basketball haha. I remember seeing a coach I played for throwing a tantrum on the sidelines when I attacked the basket. There's film too 😭😭

Casually caught the last minute of the @novawbb and Miami game. The attitude of everyone from the players in the huddle down to the coach after the missed layup with the game on the line is so telling. The little keep your head up you're good from every side?

On this day in 1916, Ota Benga, an African native who suffered inhumane treatment by being kept in a zoo, committed suicide. He had been kidnapped in 1904 from Congo, and taken to America and exhibited at the Bronx Zoo with monkeys. A THREAD!

@ulxma I can't even engage this conversation, my brain won't let me

I am not a masculine woman and I don’t want to emasculate my man by paying the rent. I’ll let him handle his business as the natural provider that he is. 🥹

@DowntownLBJR @USBWA Congrats Lindy!!!

Thank you to the @USBWA for this award. I am truly shocked and honored to be selected. In looking at the previous winners, I feel like I don't compare at all. It is a very impressive list of people I have looked up to in WBB. I cannot wait to head to the Final Four!

@RishiSunak @officialABAT Read the room, Rishi. What you described as "his victory" was a travesty of an election by every standard. Nigerians have once again been denigrated by their political jackals. This time, we will challenge the legitimacy. Maybe you shouldn't let faux diplomacy outweigh morality.

Who sent this one message 😏

Caught On Camera! Chairman of Adavi LGA in Kogi State, Joseph Salami caught destroying ballot papers with votes. Happening in front of police escorts oo Tinubu will never be president. Never. We can’t never accept this level of thuggery. Nigerians deserve better 📌
