"We have a president whose nationality we do not know because he carries a Guinean diplomatic passport. Whose genealogy we do not know, and we now understand President Buhari thought the same thing too. Whose primary school we do not know, whose secondary school we do not know, who now claims he went to university..." — Chidi Odinkalu, ex-chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC)
Brionna Johnson was told she would have to end her pregnancy and undergo a hysterectomy. Instead, a 27-pound fibroid was removed while preserving her pregnancy and her ability to have children. Too often, Black women face limited options or are not heard. This outcome shows what is possible when patients are listened to and given real care. Equity in maternal care is not a luxury, it is a necessity.
During the Kwara massacre, a man was escaping with his little boy and was shot dead. While falling down, he seemingly fell on the poor little innocent boy who couldn't lift his father's body off of him. After lifting the body, the locals realised that the boy had fractured his leg from supposedly his late father's weight. He was alive with a swollen leg and with some difficulty in breathing but died before they got help.
From a survivor.
178 buried so far!

Please my baby sister has been kidnapped and I genuinely don’t know what to do. She travelled from Lagos to the east(Nnewi to be precise) and we haven’t heard from her until they called with her number and started demanding for ransom. I’m going crazy, someone please help
Nigeria is a graveyard of tragedies. Tragedies that somehow do not befall many other countries with the sanity to defer failure. Here, we do condolences when heads should roll. No one is held accountable so lives cannot matter.
Ever wondered what everyday life was like for people living 50, 100, or more years ago..?

Yakubu Gowon's Anambra babe delayed the start of the civil war by 6 days.

Hello guys, you know that the famine in Sudan is striking really hard with horrific figures/statistics coming out everyday (2.5m ppl are expected to die by September) and the death toll reaching 10k per day So here are some ways you can help relieving the famine.

It’s been 1 year since we woke up to heavy shootings and artillery bombardment in the city of Khartoum. 1 year since our lives took a different turn. Alongside our friends and colleagues we had to flee to safety leaving everything behind. May peace return to Sudan, Ameen.
Following the deployment of the extraordinary investigative diligence of @officialEFCC, it has today been possible to establish that a male cross-dresser is in fact a man. Let's give them due accolades. Surely, that is how u build a much #BettaCountry!

It is now self evident that @officialEFCC is a shameless, #IdleAndDisorderly institution whose sole preoccupation is #AbuseOfPower. This is beyond unfortunate but entirely predictable.
Incredibly proud of South Africa. We’re watching the case of our lifetime play out at the ICJ. The courage, the hope, the moral leadership. This changes everything.
"What is true of Plateau State is true of virtually every part of #Nigeria. The Plateau only serves as illustration of our lack of political will to make our country Nigeria livable."
Pls read Prof Anthony Akinwale if you do nothing else this #NY2024

The situation in Plateau State, north-central #Nigeria, is genocidal - 112 killed in the latest #ChristmasEveMassacre. Don't bet on the govt of the day noticing anything. By the way, it looks like every Xmas season these massacres are re-enacted....?

Prayers for the three college students of Palestinian descent, Hisham, Kinnan, and Tahseen, who were shot in Vermont while walking to dinner. They are graduates of the Ramallah Friends School, a Quaker school in the West Bank, which my dad attended as a child. The school’s fundamental principles include treating all humans as children of God, searching and living for God in all we do, and resolving all conflicts through nonviolence. Wishing the students and their families a full recovery and justice before the law.
