How come most people don't know she wrote Black Panther?
I don't know why its not common knowledge. But she wrote some parts of the Black Panther comics, and other writers contributed also. People should read more about their favourite books, comics and movies.

VULCAN:
She wrote 2 or 3 episodes of Black Panther: long live the king.

Definitely the worst depiction of T'challa ever put to print.

She reduced one of the most brilliant and inspirational comic book characters to a bumbling simpleton. All to further a feminist agenda.

I have no regard for female comic book writers who instead of creating strong women prefer to weaken strong men.

Two of the best comic book writers today are women. Go and read SAGA and MONSTRESS. Monstress is also drawn by a woman and i consider it to be one of the best drawn comics I have ever seen and this is coming from someone who has been reading comics for 40 yrs so I know what I am saying, I am no woman hater. But I respect those writers because they created strong female AND male characters.

God deliver us from these false feminists who seek to undermine men instead of uplifting women
Can you forgive? You know, in any write up, even the strongest characters are created with flaws.

Her first work for Marvel Comics was a short story in the anthology one shot " VENOMVERSE : WAR STORIES " illustrated by Tana Ford. She wrote Marvels' Black Panther : DORA MILAJE and SHURI series, Long Live The King.
In April 2019, news was announced that Nnedi Okorafor would co - write the screenplay of an adaptation of Octavia Butler's " Wild Seed " with filmmaker Wanuri Kahiu for Amazon Prime Video, which would be produced by Viola Davis. She is still taking progressive steps towards greater success.
Read something from Nnedi Okorafor. It's definitely going to be an " other-worldly " experience !

If you're an adult that's still addicted to wildly imaginative fiction ( like me ) , this international, award winning novelist of African - based science fiction should be at the top of your list. Nnedi Okorafor is one of the most talented writers I have ever come across.
After reading some of her books like " Kabu - Kabu ", " Lagoon ", and " Who Fears Death ", I was finally able to believe that there is still hope for African fiction to become greater and even be adapted into movie form. Nnedi Okorafor is one writer who combines old tradition and modernity into a story without making it too " English " to be African, and all the traditional or mystical parts of her stories are not portrayed in a dull manner at all. Rather, she brings out their beautiful and majestic sides. Her style of writing is fresh, exciting, and captivating; a real pride to all African countries and cultures.
This gifted novelist was born in the United States to two Nigerian immigrant parents. In a profile of Nnedi's work titled " Weapons of Mass Creation " , the New York Times called Nnedi's imagination " stunning " .

HealthRe: Family Of Cockroaches Living In Chinese Man’s Ear (pic) by purples25(f): 6:56pm On Nov 08, 2019

shocked
The first thing that hit my mind, Was How did they get there?
Over times, science has failed to explain themselves. And this is just one of those incidents. Please how Big is the size of the ear and what's the possibilities of a mother Roches living inside the ear? From the pregnancy stage to egg hashing or what have you?

Please I need an explanation just like the Man who wanna know the scientists said there's no God
the type of roach that entered his ear is small and the babies that hatched would be tinier. He didn't know what was wrong cuz he didn't clean his ear or i'm sure the cotton bud would have gotten one roach and he would know what he was dealing with.
I leaned my head on a wall when i was sleeping once, and when i woke up there was something small running around in my ear. It itched like crazy. I IMMEDIATELY traced the itch with a cotton bud and i got out a tiny brown ant that you normally see on walls. The itching ended there.

It's not peculiar to Nigeria

It's everywhere

When I hear things like" she stayed with me when things were rough "

I just cringe

Brothers hypergamy is real ,

Treat your wife with the respect and love she deserves but don't turn it to worship

YOU WERE HER BEST OPTION AT THE TIME !
No, its not everytime that a womans choice is her only/best option. If you would just permit yourself to believe it, some women have a good nature that makes them pick the men they like over someone who has more.

That aside, i don't want any gender to always feel that their partner 'managed' them, did them a favour by picking them. It will make that person always feel small and inferior. So i kinda get what you're saying.

She just doesn't want you as an enemy. Tell her its totally ok that shes not into you and you are not angry. Have a little talk with her. She will calm down and feel okay about letting you go. The whole compromise is out of guilt, not lewdness. Its weird i know, but she's a people pleaser.
