Consent Is a must: Why We Must Speak Clearly About Rape

Recently we’ve had trending stories which has once again pushed the issue of rape into the spotlight. While the attention is important, the way we discuss rape matters just as much as the discussion itself. Constantly, misinformation, victim-blaming, and silence protect perpetrators (rapist or abusers) while survivors are left unheard. People tend to shift their attention from the main issue on ground when an issue of rape or sexual abuse is spoken about it reported. It is necessary to speak clearly, responsibly, and firmly, irrespective of your gender, rape is violence, and consent is non-negotiable. We cannot say this enough.

Nigeria Is Not A Disgraced Country But A Nation That Lack Strong Structure: John Fagbemi

It took roughly 150–200 years of institutional development, reforms, crises, and reconstruction for the United States to become what we now describe as a developed nation. That transformation did not happen by accident. It was the result of constitutional stability, industrial expansion, institutional reforms, economic discipline, and consistent national direction over generations. Development is not magic. It is structured persistence. When we speak about Nigeria, what we need is not slanderous words of condemnation. Calling Nigeria a “disgraced nation” does not build institutions. It does not reform systems. It does not strengthen governance. Nigeria is not disgraced. Nigeria is under-structured. There is a difference. A disgraced nation suggests permanent failure. An under-structured nation suggests unrealized potential.

Tension in Anambra as Soludo Clamps Down on Sit-at-Home, Shuts Onitsha Market

According to reports, the governor visited Onitsha Main Market and expressed displeasure after discovering that commercial activities were largely shut down on a Monday. As a result, he ordered the closure of the market for one week as a warning to traders, insisting that all economic activities must resume fully on Mondays. The situation escalated on Tuesday when traders who were unaware of the new directive arrived at the market, only to be turned back by security operatives enforcing the shutdown. This sparked outrage among traders and youths, leading to protests within and around the market premises. Governor Soludo has since issued a further warning, stating that if traders continue to observe sit-at-home in defiance of government orders, the market could face additional shutdowns, including a possible indefinite closure.
