So cultural inspiration only counts when it’s tied to a historical event? One is historical fiction, the other is fantasy rooted in mythology. I didn’t realize Yoruba mythology needed a real life event to qualify as cultural influence o🤣

Half of a yellow sun was inspired by the Nigerian civil war. A real life event What real life event inspired children of Blood and Bone ?

If I’m going to argue this much, it better be with a fine ass man, not you ugly Negrodactyls.

Me and my girls discovering 96% of crimes done by Nigerians abroad are not from Nigerian women. Crazy stats.

Half of a Yellow Sun is also fiction, yet its film adaptation retained the cultural identity of the book. So why is it suddenly unreasonable to expect the same from Children of Blood and Bone? Fantasy doesn’t mean cultural influences should be lost in adaptation. Y’all geddifok!

Nigerian traditional weddings are always tailored to the culture/ethnicity of the bride. The only time a Caucasian should be having a Nigerian style traditional wedding is if the bride is Nigerian.

I said the book is rooted in Yoruba culture, and people are fighting for their lives over “rooted” vs. “influenced.” Is this not potato, potahto? Abeg, rest. 😂

How the fuck did a book rooted in Yoruba culture become another Wakanda-inspired mess? The exaggerated costumes, the generic African accents. I’m so tired of Hollywood treating Africa like one big fictional kingdom. If you can’t respect the source material, leave it alone.

Aww, you discovered fictional animals in a fantasy novel. Now explain how their existence erases the Yoruba cultural influences. Take your time, I’m rooting for you.

Nobody’s denying that you’re human or that you shouldn’t have the same rights as every other human. What you aren’t entitled to is everyone else’s agreement that you are what you claim to be, compliance with your quasi-religious views or the removal of women’s sex-based rights.

It’s almost the time of year when Christian conservatives celebrate the birth of a baby they would have deported.

If a gay man is being misogynistic towards me, am I allowed to match his energy or do I have to uphold the feminist constitution even under attack?

My fellow Nigerian women, we aren't beating these allegations. There's so much proof on the internet. We've sold ourselves out in a bad light. The bad eggs have created a narrative about us and the stereotype has taken full course. We need to correct this, else, the future may be grey. Good Nigerian women need to come out, let's be more vocal, we should do something to change this narrative. It's flying and it doesn't look good.
