Let’s talk about Social Media and Feminism. If there is something Nigerian women should be grateful for, it is the ability to share our thoughts via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok. I mean, the chances that anybody harms you is next to nothing. You can be anonymous. Feminism in Nigeria gained momentum because of Social …
Whenever I have money or sometimes even when I really don’t, I randomly give out; I ask the bike man to keep the change, I tell the child hawking in the hot sun to not bother about my change, the woman with so much kids trying to make ends meet by selling roasted corn gets …
