After my landmark testimony at the National Assembly last year that stopped a bill affecting 40 million Nigerians from passing, it hit me.

What if we could teach more people to do same nationally or within their states? We can rewrite unjust and abusive mental health laws.

I keep saying this. We are yet to feel the full effects of the pandemic on our mental health.

This is beyond languishing.
There's so much more to come.

I am only just seeing the story of #HinyUmoren. So devastating! I am scared for myself, sisters, friends and female acquaintances. No woman deserves unsafety. No woman should live looking over their shoulder. We deserve and demand safety. Gosh!

In all, kudos to to @nkeiruka_reps for this bill. I believe taking this step to ensure more women are on the legislative table will cause a lot of women who have capacities to via easily without any obstacles.

[Chioma Aja @IBbrainz]

Mixed feelings about this. It would be great to support more women into elective positions and extend same type of support as their male counterparts to succeed. Really hoping these extra seats don’t turn out like most positions carved out for women just to

[Chioma Aja @IBbrainz]

Maybe @nassnigeria leadership should also be looking at the option of amending this bill that mandates at least one woman from each State, that way we save cost, close the gap in the ratio of men to women and still get the number of women needed.

I find myself being more scared of hearing that a Nigerian has been abducted or killed by another Nigerian than the thought of a deadly virus. One can take precautions against contracting the virus but even our homes are not safe anymore & that is simply sad.

The unified voices of Nigerians have been treated as a threat to democracy instead of an expression of it. We unreservedly condemn the government’s use of violence against peaceful protesters. #EndBadGoveranceInNigeria #EndSARS #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeraNOW

We are much more united now. Our bonds are even stronger and the change we desire will surely come. Go back to the drawing board, join this tsunami or get swept away

To the Nigerian Government:

You caused this! Threating us with no conscience and when we taught we were already at the lowest, you add this?

Posterity will judge each and everyone of us.

[Chioma Aja @IBbrainz]

As you can see, there are young people defying fear of gunshots. Who instead of running away from the heat are staying back to threat wounded comrades. You have shown us that we do not matter in the scheme of things and proven to us that standing up for ourselves is the only way
