@TrophyHusbandD 😭😭

Jesse Jackson, veteran US civil rights leader and two-time presidential candidate, has died aged 84 bbc.in/4kG5fCP

How do we get God to bring back the precedented times? Please, we are sorry😭

Watch it or don't, but free the discourse!!

Misogynoir is a feature, not a bug on that show. We have the same cyclical conversations about it every blessed year and nothing changes. We keep watching it and our outrage continues to give them the views/engagement they want. It is what it is.

And that's how it's done. So simple!

"There’s no money in journalism anymore. No fame, no glamour, no prestige. But there’s lots and lots of money in media—in being a brand, an influencer, a personality. We stopped paying journalists and started rewarding performers." mediaite.com/opinion/the-ol…

Resharing our doc 'Nigeria's Miracle Baby Scammers,' which was released a year ago. In the film we investigate a 'cryptic pregnancy' scam that tricks women into believing they're pregnant when they're not, and uncover a link to child trafficking. Available on YT & BBCiplayer

For those that do not understand the evil that is perpetrated in the name of "Cryptic pregnancy" in Nigeria, watch this eye-opening documentary from the BBC Africa Eye. youtu.be/r62xSGw3kcI?si…

@mao_0k I'm so sorry.

Today is my dad’s 10-year remembrance, and in a very rushed decision I joined my family at the Anglican church ; only to realise I’d forgotten my headscarf. Please tell me why an old woman followed me all the way from Church to Car Park just to say, “You should have covered your hair. {points to my brother} It’s only men who don’t have to, because they are like God” Even in times of grief, I am not spared misogyny’s interruptions

This is true in football and every other workplace. Confidence in Black people is perceived and treated as a threat.

Over the last week in Nigeria: -52 students kidnapped from a Catholic school in Niger state. - a church attacked by bandits in Kwara. -25 schoolgirls kidnapped from a government school in Kebbi - a military commander executed by militants

Last year, I went to Chibok to report on the 10th anniversary of the kidnappings. 91 girls are still missing. During our shoot, there were two separate abductions of school children. Since 2014, 1,500 school children have been kidnapped. A recurring national tragedy.

@BeeBabs No notes in fact.

I smiled

@eyeamamultitude I did not express belief. That is the official definition of the U.S. designation, not my personal opinion.

@briticoyemo And you believe your last sentence? Where's the investigative journalism? Or contrasting different accounts and motivations?

🚨 Donald Trump has declared Nigeria a 'Country of Particular Concern,' claiming Christianity faces an 'existential threat' there. The designation is used for countries that commit or allow serious violations of religious freedoms.

In his own words, @questlove remembers his friend, collaborator and brother, D’Angelo. “D’Angelo, to me, was one of the last pure artists in Black music.” Read the personal tribute: rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…
