MAR 5, 2021

Nigerians are world-renowned loudmouths who happen to exist in every place on earth, roll deep,

and have a reputation for cleverness. We are legion, so hear us roar… I think everyone needs a

Nigerian friend, pretend cousin, or auntie in their lives. In a world where fear rules our lives and we

get used to cowering, we need to surround ourselves with some rowdy energy that takes up space

unapologetically. That’s where Nigerians come in. Not saying others aren’t this, but there is a certain

je ne sais quoi in Naijas… We are the parliamentarians of Team No Chill. We will add color to

your life. We will loan you bravado if you ever need it.

Why will your life be better for having a Nigerian who you can call friend or family Let me break

down the reasons…

…I’m of the Yorùbá people…

So what exactly does it mean to be cancelled? According to Kimberly Foster, the term is used to apply to range of actions. "Cancel culture can include everything from people with the most money and privilege in our society getting push back for saying things others found distasteful to regular everyday people losing their jobs for relatively minor infractions." When it was first being used among young people on the internet, cancelling was a way to say, “I'm done with you". But as cancelling became more widely used on social media it has grown into a way to call on others to reject a person or business. This can happen when the target breaks social norms - for example, making sexist comments - but it has also happened when people have expressed opinions on politics, business and even pop culture

2.4 Critical readers and writers use different frames of reference to interpret texts. Bearing this in mind, write your perspective on cancel culture.
