Watched an actor on IG tell women to have kids if they’re single and getting old, and it made me so sad.

1. Children are not accessories. So many adults are carrying trauma today because they were raised by parents who had them because “it is what you’re meant to do”. 🧵 2. A woman's purpose isn't baby making. Kudos to the women who made that choice (and sorry to those of you who didn't know you could) but I need women to see that all you are isn't a womb. Pregnancy and raising a child is too serious a thing to do “because you’re getting old”.

Nigeria’s total landmass is 923,768 Square Kilometres.

Lagos State’s landmass is 3,577 Square Kilometres.

So Lagos State is 0.38% of the Landmass of Nigeria. If we assume Nigeria’s Population is about 200million, and Lagos has about 20million people, it means we have 10% of the population of the country.

Now let’s take the ratio of that. The ratio of our Population Percentage to our Landmass percentage, is 26.3 To 1.

Now that sounds… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

The most disgusting thing I’ve seen this election cycle is “educated elites” say “people are about to learn a very important lesson. Every generation learns it the hard way. It’s their turn.”

How can an entire generation be committed to upholding criminality and injustice? Nigerian society makes a virtue out of downplaying injustice.

Even the educated "elite" will tell young people who are angry about the election that "every generation learns the lesson."

For the last 20 or so years, Nigerians have used "Gani Fawehinmi came out and nobody voted for him" as proof that Nigerians aren't ready for good governance.

But after seeing how results changed at collation in this election, how sure ARE you that nobody voted for him? 🤔 Smartphones and Twitter helped Nigerians capture and share everything happening at their polling units, from INEC no-shows, to violence, to voting, to rigging, to actual legit results.
Because of this, the average Nigerian has a clearer picture of what happened nationwide.

Since a possible presidential run-off keeps coming up, let’s talk about the gbege waiting for us in Section 134 of the Constitution, because let me tell you ehn, 1979 taught us things!

🧵 Most analysis focuses on subsection 2:
-get majority votes
-get 25% each in two thirds of states, plus FCT.
