Please when they forge your health status, lie about your who you are, engineer a prolonged attack on your entire family, treat it in a civil manner.
When you go for a job and they do a quick search and your potential employer sees you have HIV because someone just woke up to write that, treat it in a civil manner.
When you go for a visa interview and they do a search on you and they see your name is sitting pretty with an alleged crime, treat it in a civil manner.
It’s your right to treat it how you want to treat it.

sorry but i am not in support of this. y'all are celebrating and i understand but this is setting a dangerous precedent which we are already seeing from brands and politicians. you write a review and the brand doesn't like it, they'll have you arrested and charged with defamation and cyber bullying. you demand accountability from a politician online and they'll do the same thing.
this should at best be a civil matter, not a criminal matter. again, this is a slippery slope and we should all be careful

I’ll give you £5 to leave New York, apply for Labour membership, run at a local election for whatever constituency is left over and then throw your hat in the impending Labour leadership contest @ZohranKMamdani

Lmao, y’all need to find grass somewhere to touch.

The way I’m interpreting this…..and I might be wrong o, don’t eat me, we are theorising here 😭 At the time of the alleged cheating, Jessica already walked away from the marriage or they were already divorced on paper, but he still wanted the relationship to continue based on the traditional marriage and she refused. So if they were not officially divorced and were only separated, can Ugo counter sue for bigamy if his hands are clean?

I often wonder what Kwame Nkrumah would say today if he looked at this continent and see what's happening. How is the President of France so comfortable explaining panafricanism to Africans? Who and what made him this comfortable???

French President Emmanuel Macron declares “we are the true pan-Africanists” at a summit with more than 30 African leaders in Kenya, hailing Africa as the world’s youngest continent with an economic growth set to outpace Southeast Asia. 🔴 More on aljazeera.com

This may be the first time non-French-speaking Africans are witnessing the full depth of French presidential condescension, but for us it has always been this way. Nicolas Sarkozy walked into a room full of university students in Dakar in 2007 and declared that “ the African man had not yet entered history”.
Emmanuel Macron asked Roch Marc Christian Kaboré, the then president of Burkina Faso, to go fix the air conditioning for him during a 2017 press conference, then proceeded to publicly humiliate Tshisekedi in the DRC in 2020.
These are not isolated moments of poor judgment. They are a pattern. The infantilisation of Africans is not a failure of one French presidential character. It is a feature of French presidential culture, so deeply embedded in the relationship between France and its former colonies that these men cannot suppress it even when the cameras are running and the entire world is watching.
They were never trained to see us as equals. And it shows, every single time, without exception, regardless of which French president occupies the room.

Why did no one throw an egg at Emmanuel Macron? Maybe a shoe? Or even a tomato? Why did a room full of Africans in Africa meekly sit down and watch this Tintin au Congo cartoon cutout play in their faces for 30 minutes without a single hint of dissent?

Back in 2021, I met a lady who told me about this app where blind people could video call volunteers whenever they needed help with something.
Out of curiosity, I downloaded it and signed up.
I still remember how surreal it felt the first time I got a call. Someone was simply trying to decide what to wear and needed me to tell them if the colors matched. Another person needed help checking something on their TV screen.
And there I was, in my room in Nigeria, helping complete strangers from different parts of the world through a random video call.
It wasn’t paid or anything. It was just volunteering.
But I remember being so fascinated by the idea that technology could connect people in such a deeply human way. For a few minutes, you literally became someone else’s eyes.
Till today, that remains one of the most beautiful things I’ve experienced online.

Denmark in 2026 is literally forcing Indigenous Greenlander mothers to take a test to prove they are 'civilised enough' to raise their children. If failed, the child is taken into foster care.
Child trafficking through racism and eugenics, but which is 'legal'.

One more thing, re: polygamy: a good husband in a polygamous home isn’t quite your “partner”; he’s like a good boss. Fair, kind, generosity with bonuses, lets you be a human being with specific needs and meets them within reason (for him). But ultimately you serve at his pleasure

I laugh every time I see commentary on the Greens and how their plans to increase taxes on the wealthy will impact you. Most of you are nowhere near being impacted. I’m not sure if it’s delusions of grandeur, the graduate job, being a landlord or lack of understanding.

This was at Goldman Sachs Recruitment Day in 2019, at Victoria Island, Lagos (similar to Shell's Recruitment Day).
I didn't make the cut then because there were badder guys from UNILAG, OAU and co, who were and are witches and wizards in coding.
Anyway, my team came second overall and I used sweet mouth to present our technical solution.
This was Goldman Sachs o, able to assemble at least 200 bad guys within Lagos (the picture doesn't show the full hall, which is quite sizeable).
But one bros who knows the local ecosystem more than oyinbo said we don't have world-class talent.
Anyway, most people in this picture had sponsored flight and relocation benefits to the UK and other countries shortly after this picture was taken.
However, you still have people like this within Nigeria's shores.

You fucked yourselves, you had the opportunity to be an ally to the people that needed you after 14 years of a conservative government, and you’ve spent the majority time pandering to the “stop the boats” brigade, in hope that hatred it would help you earn a few cheap votes.

These are tough results for Labour. There’s no sugarcoating it. We’ve lost brilliant Labour representatives who’ve stood up for their communities. People are still frustrated. Their lives aren’t changing fast enough. We haven’t offered enough hope or optimism for the future. I was elected to change this country - tough days like this don’t weaken my determination to do that. They strengthen it.

Mrs where?
I will be doctor forever!
IYANU@IyanuoluwaId
How counterintuitive this is, is the fact that your children will bear your husband's name. You'll be referred to as Mrs in conjunction with your husband's name. Your husband will be biologically responsible for your child's sex. Your children will hold his identity, nationality.

When I got married, it took me years to change my name on my bank app 😂😂😂😂 Guess what? My husband never sent money there. He said, “When you do the needful, I’ll start sending money to that account, for "my wife," not "Not Ndubuisi's daughter.” And he stood on it. Nobody had to tell me twice, I went and changed the name 😂
