Social Media Roundup: Maraji's take on religion

This week began with the celebration of Id el Kabir, the Muslim festival of Sacrifice on Sunday, August 11. In Nigeria, the federal government declared the following Monday and Tuesday as public holidays.

While Nigerians were enjoying their holiday, an Instagram Story by Instagram sensation Maraji spread through all the corners of Nigerian social media like wildfire. Check out a screenshot of the story below.

Maraji had to pick the biggest day in the Muslim calendar year to say all that

C'mon, you are an influencer, you really need to do better

Your education should at least to some extent subdue your ignorance

While @Maraji_ is entitled to her belief that all religions other than Christianity are false, she’s insensitive to her fans in that regard. We all believe our religion is THE answer, but there’s wisdom in knowing how to deal with a diverse society, especially as a public figure.

Lol. Many Christians think like Maraji.

They only tolerate Muslims because they have to but deep down, there's this disgust and the belief that they worship a fake 'god' and they are going to hell.

80% of Nigerians

On Tuesday this week, a Twitter user posted a series of tweets calling out Nigerian women for being “cheats, liars, toxic, deceptive…” and a couple of other colourful things, well 80% of them.

https://twitter.com/DaughterOf_eve/status/1161289712625180672?s=20

Read the full thread here.

Many Nigerians, women especially, thought 80% was an outrageous percentage. And for some reason, “80% of Nigerians” began to trend shortly afterwards.

There were a lot of random tweets using “80% of Nigerians”.

Kenya’s Huddah Monroe features in Harper’s Bazaar

Kenyan socialite turned entrepreneur Huddah Monroe has been featured in the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar, American women’s fashion magazine.

First, Huddah is in Harper's Bazaar. If that's not a big enough deal, she's in the SEPTEMBER issue. That's the most important one of the year!

Huddah is really making moves while Kamene can't even get her ass to move in a video made by kids who aren't allowed to vote yet. You hate to see it.

Huddah can appear Oprah's exclusive magazine cover and I still wont be able to look past her saying opposition protestors should be shot and they don't deserve burials. Kichwa yake ni ya kufunika shingo and I will not be told otherwise. 🙂
