God I hate Nigerian men. You don't believe the wife. You don't believe the son. You people should just pack your bags and move into Emeka Ike's house since you want to die on riding his dick. Foolish, brainless, spineless people.
“Your music will never prosper, Donjazzy will never see you. I will see you on the road and spit on you.” Voice messages my father said to me
— Emeka Ike’s son, Michael finally speaks
It's how the Bridgerton franchise keeps topping itself with each new release. When season 1 dropped everyone thought it was the best thing. Then season 2 dropped and everyone thought it was the new best thing. Now everyone thinks Queen Charlotte topped. Love it for Shonda Rhimes.
Funny thing is if someone organizes let's say "Men dem fest" for only men, women would not give a fuck. It's the men who would not want to attend because who would they be grinding against? Their pervasive fear of being seen as gay will make them oppose it.
This isn't even a dig at ayra but the organizers
This festival,na only female artist Dey invite
Just imagine the uproar if Dey name a festival a "Male festival" or something like that
I was in bed with C this morning when my mum called. "Theo," she said. "Do you have a new girlfriend?". I turned to look at C and smiled. "No," I said. "I don't even have a girlfriend." "Alright," she said. I asked what happened and she told me she had a dream. "

When I was 7, my Dad put my mum with a 2 month old baby and 4 other children on a bus from Lagos all the way to Borno state, while he took a flight. I was just 7 but I knew it was a wrong thing to do and I have not forgotten about it.
There is this friend of mine who enjoys cooking (says cooking is a stress reliever) and every two weeks, he invites all his friends over (over 10) to his place and gives them variety of food to eat. I'm talking about well cooked meal, multiple courses. It can never be me.
I just feel a lot of people these days type message with social media in mind. Like you're not really talking to the person in your DM but your audience on Twitter. It's sick.
As a teenager, I believed that by 27, my life would have fallen into place, and I would have achieved all the lofty goals I set for myself. However, things rarely go as we envision.
So here's to a new year and to dreams yet to be fulfilled. Happy birthday to me.
And years later, when I would come home with my partner to let her know we are finally getting married, she would ask why I'm bringing a man home, and I'll remind her of this conversation and others like it that have happened.
Do you know what the criminalization of homosexuality does?
It gives free reins to homophobes. It allows for LGBT persons to be sexually harassed and not be able to report it to anyone. It allows for youths to end their lives for something they never chose and can't change.
As a child, I found two pieces of chicken eggs and I wanted so desperately for it to hatch but the mother was nowhere to be found. So I thought I could incubate it myself. I poured sand into a frying pan, kept the eggs inside and put the pan on fire and set it on low heat.
Yesterday I got drunk, came out to my friend, his roommate (whom I was meeting for the first time) and two other girls who were there visiting. I don't do well with alcohol. The memory is a blur, just snatches here and there. I passed out on the bathroom floor for over 4 hours.
I think it's an empathetic thing to tell young queer people dependent on their family to delay coming out till they are independent. Yes, coming out can be (or is) a political statement/play a role in queer liberation but you need to be aware of the costs to you as an individual.
Alpha males have miscontrued being communicative with being condescending. Like if a man tells you he is big on communication, chances are high that he means "I'm gonna talk down on you to boost my already fragile sense of self"

@chibzyyyy
There are news articles all over the Internet that contradicts what Emeka Ike said. And the bible says, in the mouth of two witnesses shall a testimony be established. And they clearly have enough witnesses. Choosing to believe otherwise is gross dishonesty and of course bias.
I can't be angry at my partner in peace without my dick betraying me because once my partner comes close to me and even though I'm ignoring them, Mr. Small down there will not get the memo that we are supposed to be angry.
Boys in my secondary school actively watched K-drama and Zee world but here on Twitter, every guy claims to be unable to watch them because they feel it's for women. It's either they are lying or they fell off badly badly due to peer pressure.
@EtimRene
@chibzyyyy
Lmao. Now you're digressing. And the boy won't "learn" anything. He will grow up to flourish. He has a loving and supportive mother. He will be fine. Sadly, I can't say the same for you.
This speech from "Prayers for Bobby" still makes me cry
".. but your hatred and fear and ignorance of the word gay, will silence those prayers. So, before you echo "amen" in your home and place of worship. Think. Think and remember a child is listening"
@photoriichy86
There are corroborative evidence (you can check Google to know what this phrase means) to the abuse but the person whose dick you're gleefully shoving up your sphincter has nothing but just his mere words but you choose to believe him because you are an abuser just like him.
In church and the Pastor is talking about how in heaven we won't all be in the same class.
So heaven's gonna be another earth? Right? Full of inequality? Lmao. This is why I want to fade away from existence.
@coc1162582
Lmao. I have already been chosen and chosen by the best person in the world. I don't need external validation. Unlike you who has never been chosen and genuinely loved before and will never be because your vile heart is filled with nothing but goo
Finished this freelancing gig and got paid for it. Used everything to pay mumcy's rent. Even though I'm broke, I'm glowing with contentment at being able to do this for her. It would have been a totally different story if I didn't get the gig.
"Yes, ma," I said. "Thank you for the advice. I will not falter. I will obey it to the letter and even beyond. " "God will bless and keep you," she said. I answered Amen.
Ordered something on Jumia with my partner. Customer care agent called today to ask some questions and I kept saying "We. We. We" Then it dawned on me that it's really we and us now.
He's also the one who referred to my partner as my boyfriend. I didn't know he knew. So it was jarring for me. So Instead of going along with him, I referred to my partner as my friend. Ask your boyfriend, he said. I'll ask my friend and get back to you, I replied.
My younger brother has used the "I love you" line twice now and both times I didn't know how to respond. It shouldn't be hard to say it back but for the mere fact that we didn't grow up saying those words made it jarring. But I'm proud he's the kind of person who uses that line.
Reminder that there's no such thing as 'Ex-gay'. It is simply an oppressive language created by the church and is based entirely on falsehood. You can't ex-gay anyone because you can't get rid of same sex attraction.
I saw a girl coming close to you. To take something from your hand. You should avoid her." I touched C on the legs and smiled a befuddled smile. "I don't even have time for girls," I said. "Better," she said. "You need to avoid girls for now and focus on your work."
Happy Birthday To me. I'm 23 and learning not to die. Since I clocked twenty, I've hated my birthdays. Last year I wanted to kill myself, on my birthday- Birthday becomes deathday.
4 months in. This is my longest relationship ever (and it's been blissful). I'm the kind of person where if you start to go mad and be making me beg for the bare minimum, I carry my bags and go. No matter how much I love you. I will cry o but las las I go dey alright
There I was on the bathroom floor throwing up and writhing and I could hear myself say to this stranger 'Don't hate me. Don't hate me. Do you hate me'
Another thing about being gay is that you are always negotiating your existence/begging to be loved.
Fairness, kindness, respect, equality and Ubuntu. You don't need the bible for this. The bible at best doesn't promote collective well-being. The teachings lean towards disregard for the humanity of others and promotes self-centetedness.
It's the final day of

and I'm feeling nostalgic already. In these past three days, I have been impacted in ways I never expected. I promise I won't cry when I return to school. Thank you

Fuck the patriarchy!
Fuck heteronormativity!
Fuck everyone who thinks we don't deserve to exist!
And if you know me and you're probably appalled at my outrage then you don't deserve me. If your perception of me changes because of my sexuality, to HELL with you!
Whenever I enter a private car in Lagos, I do a bit of calculation.
How quickly can I open this door in case I am getting robbed or kidnappers? Will I be able to hit them in the face with my elbow and jump out the moving car? Do I have anything on me that is valuable?
I'm always anxious at the thought of reading out loud because I have a mild stutter that makes me stumble over some words.
So here's a short video of me reading a short story.
Guess the title of the short story.
@DoctorEmto
Individuals that are bipolar during manic phase are likely to engage in risky sexual behaviors. Bringing in depression and bipolar into a discourse on sexual perversion makes one question your status as a Doctor as you appear to want to excuse his behavior.
Wondering if I should show this to the programs director at work or not. 😬
Most times I'll be at work and I'll be wondering why we're trying to get these kids to act like neurotypicals + wouldn't it be best for persons with autism to actually design their 'intervention' program?
Autism professionals:
You are no longer allowed to use the phrase
"Social Skills."
If you're trying to teach an autistic person to do things neurotypicals do, you must use the term
Neurotypical Social Skills.
Autistic People Have (Autistic) Social Skills. We're Not Robots.

I'm not the one who is out of touch with reality and dwelling in his land of delusions and paranoia. You're clearly the one who needs medication.
There are some works you read that frees something within you, not just as a writer but as a person too. You suddenly become aware of how boundless you are and how borders are nothing but lines that can be moved or erased. And I think that's what Vagabonds! is to me.
You are writing a story and you find yourself wondering if maybe you are taking it too far. This is not plausible, you say. A human being can't subject another human being to this. But then, you read the news, and you find worse. Reality is more gruesome than fiction.
I met someone at a house party and a few days later, he tells me he would like to interview me. I didn't want to do it because I felt there isn't anything interesting about me or interview worthy. Irrespective, I went ahead to do it and it's out in today's Punch newspaper.
People talk trash against the LGBT community as if they have any idea what it means to be gay. To not be comfortable in your own body. To want to drain the colors from your skin. To not be able to breathe. Fuck all homophobes and your bloated self righteousness.
Someone asked if i prefer giving slow strokes or fast strokes and the writer in me leaped out : 'Sex should be art making between both parties. It is about finding the perfect rhythm. Let there be a flow. Let the sex sing'
Guys, I have actually never had sex before.
I introduced my straight bestie to my gay bestie and the both of them got close behind my back to the point of meeting up without me knowing. And my gay bf ntroduced my straight bf to another gay friend and now my straight bestie has two gay friends other than me. I feel betrayed
I started cooking when I was 9. Mum was pregnant with our last born. My older sister was away at boarding school. We were all boys in the house. For years, my older brother and I were in charge of cooking for the whole family (family of 9). My mum only cooked when she felt like.
@Oluwadunnii
This is not a flex
One of the reasons why we love going home
to our mom is to taste her food
It always have a unique taste .
Home is not just about the people there but
about the atmosphere, food and even smell.
Create a home your children will love
to come back to
I don't write as much as I would want but I'm grateful for the ability to write. I don't say it much but I count myself lucky that I can write. That I have the potential of creating something beautiful and profound.
My friend and his roommate were nice. Especially his roommate (because my friend was wasted too) His roommate stayed there in the bathroom with me, taking in the smell of my vomit. He listened to me ramble for hours. This was someone i was meeting for the first time.
I am never going close to Alcohol again. Never. I was literally stripped down to my barest —uninhibited, vulnerable, naked, and marinating in my own vomit.
I'm so angry right now. I'm frustrated. I've fucking lived my life trying to fit into the society's would. I'm tired of trying to live according to the dictates of hetero folks. Fuck heteronorms. Fuck all of you homophobic degenerates. I won't change because of you.
UNILAG stressed the fuck out of me. If you dey squat for hostel, dem no go even treat you like human being. You can't afford to rent off-K because of ridiculous rent so you go dey manage dey squat. You will return from class or library exhausted and porter go keep you waiting.
