I just read Ghana's anti homosexuality bill and I feel vomit in my throat. Queer people cannot be in media? You will go to jail if you portray anything remotely queer on social media or in your art?
They are telling every single person to hunt down queer people 🤮🤮🤮🤢

When Anne Marie Boyle turned down MMA fighter Sean McInnes, he punched her in the face so hard that he broke her eyesocket, broke her cheekbone, knocked her unconscious, and left her with a life-altering brain injury.
She now lives with constant pain and tremors.
He was sentenced to 19 months.
The British court system continues to demonstrate its disregard for the female victims of male violence.

this is like in Season 3 of ‘The Newsroom’ by Aaron Sorkin, when Atlantis Cable News was acquired by that tech billionaire dude, and he wanted anybody with a Twitter account to basically be a de-facto journalist lol

when I was 10yrs old, I grabbed a knife from my kitchen and slashed a white boy’s hand, for calling me a n*gger.
I used to play football in Canning Town (East London), and he was staying with his grandma for a week over the summer break (he lived in Essex). the ginger prick

saying queerness isn’t “their culture” while wearing a hijab, speaking French, and living in a Muslim-majority country is wild, so culture is selective now, all imports btw.
And this law minddd you had backing from a U.S. anti-LGBTQ+ group… but that’s not “foreign influence,” right? I have to laugh. reuters.com/sustainability…

The fact that we were creating sophisticated pottery and sculpting pieces like Ori Olokun years before colonial contact, should be an indication that something as simple as weaving clothes is right up our alley.
Oyíndà@yorubachic
This is untrue for Yorùbá people. The earliest known form of traditional Yorùbá fabric was kíjìpá. There's historical evidence as early as 10th century showing this. Ilé-Ifẹ̀ was already a production hub for unique glass beads technology. So how did our cultural attire come from foreigners that we met in the 16th - 19th centuries?

@olawale_bam at the VERY least, run a basic search on my profile before you throw out baseless accusations. because that is a common thing I tweet about lol
furthermore, I’m not an imbecile. I can critique bad governance in Nigeria and talk about the importance of safeguarding our cultures

@boyluan "evil in Nigeria is not unique to any ethnic group..."
We know! You have written treatises about cultural (mis)-appropriation. what have you written about the criminal takeover of Yoruba leadership? What have you written about the bad governance under a Yoruba president?

History Lesson:
Yorùbá culture is fundamentally against dishonest borrowing and erasure (appropriation). It is why specifying the origin of things has remained a core tenet within Ifá, for over 12,000 years. This ideology traces itself back to the practice of Oríkì Orílẹ̀.
Ifá is the belief system of the Yorùbá, and it is centered around Ìwà Pẹ̀lẹ́ (i.e. ethics, integrity and good character). Proper acknowledgment aligns with good character and sound ethics. The erasure of sources is the antithesis to this.
And it is precisely why anything Yorùbá people adopt from a different culture, the culture of origin is specified in its name. This is a practice which predates both the Arab slave trade, and the Transatlantic slave trade.
If it is integral to our spiritual belief system that we respect cultural origins (both Yorùbá and non-Yorùbá alike), then I do not think this is too high a standard for others to adhere to.
Pan African (Igbos are from Rivers State too)@IzunnaDike
There is no culture in Nigeria today that everything they have culturally is theirs and 100% indigenous. Every culture borrowed from another culture at some point and made it their own. Whether it is food, clothing/style, smithing, or art. We’ve all borrowed from ourselves.

one of many examples of Nigeria’s failure to preserve cultural heritage. but we made sure to repackage all of the colonial things violently thrusted upon our communities 🙄 in addition to safeguarding non-indigenous religions/cultures
it’s so infuriating

This is the home of Adunni Olorisha — the Austrian artist who became a Yoruba priestess and cultural guardian. She transformed the sacred groves in Osogbo into living temples, her art work became a bridge between worlds. Her devotion is a testament to the power of spiritual calling across continents. 📸 dolapoomolewa/TikTok
