Unplugged

Unplugged

I saw a lot of stuff on the internet lately. 

People editing the speeches of others so that it portrays a thing while the speaker meant something else.

The word I was looking for is "context."

If we take words out of context, they can mean anything. Be portrayed to mean anything or mislead others to believe anything. 

I also noticed that many Yoruba folks are now tweeting in Yoruba language in order to avoid the venom of many on social media who support a particular political candidate

I don’t think this is a good development.

Our political discourse must not take many steps backwards in this direction.

We must engage one another and agree or disagree on our convictions so that we can deepen our understanding as citizens of this great country. 

Instead of insults and abuses, we should all embrace dialogue. 

Regardless of who wins the Forth coming elections, this will still be our nation and we must all build it together.
