Ensign Abubakar and Ensign Arobi are science officers—specializing in radiobiology and evolutionary biology, respectively.

Kadi-Goro Abubakar encouraged a fellow starfleet officer to pursue a career in sciences as opposed to navigation (a path which is expected for many cetacean officers.) Since then, the two have been inseparable as biologists and meditators.

Do I have West African followers by chance? I’m curious about what dialect/s I should start with learning that are specific to the region. I was getting a little familiar with Swahili since a lot of diasporans I follow have set up in East or South Africa and I found myself picking up on words and phrases through them — but was sideswept to find out the language isn’t really spoken in the west😅. I’d appreciate Black People’s input on this in general, but if you’re West African or speak any of these yourself and have more personal insight, that’s perfect.

gentle reminder that the war in palestine is not an internet trend. while it's amazing that we're all raising awareness, i ask of all of you that you don't use it as a basis to look like you're empathetic or whatever online. because genocides are always wrong, not just the ones that are trendy to look like you're against.

so, when you support the people of gaza - which you absolutely should, don't get me wrong here - remember to also reblog the posts about the nigerian genocide, the darfur genocide, the genocide of the uyghur people... all of which (and more!) are ongoing genocides.

remember that activism shouldn't be confined to whatever's currently on brand to protest about, and your morals aren't contingent on looking good on the internet.

Another 105 civilians from the Christian Mwagaful community, were murdered in Nigeria by Alfonja Jihadi Fulani militias who are ethnic cleansing Nigeria of its Christians in the state of Plateau and elsewhere. The UN and the world is ignoring Islamic Jihad in Nigeria.

This follows the news of 300 deaths during targeted attacks on Christian villages in Plateau State on Christmas Eve.

"40,000 Nigerians have been slaughtered and 3 million displaced. Why no protests?"

There are no protests because the victims are the wrong victims, and the perpetrators are the wrong perpetrators.

A report from Makurdi Diocese’s Foundation for Justice, Development and Peace has revealed there were 119 militant attacks targeting predominantly Christian communities in one state alone in 2023.

Islamists also murdered 414 people and injured, raped or kidnapped almost 100 more in Benue State last year.

The former Muslim President of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari is Fulani. He orchestrated the Biafra massacre that resulted in the deaths mostly by starvation of some two million Christian Biafrans, after Biafra attempted to break away from Muslim controlled northern Nigeria.
