Online misogyny does more than harm women. It distorts public discourse and weakens democracy. Our research, Gender and Feminist Misrepresentation in Nigeria’s Digital Environment, examines how technology-facilitated gender-based violence silences women online.

Saleh Ashaka, ex-VOA journalist, is dead

Saleh Ashaka, a former Voice of America (VOA) Hausa journalist, is dead.

Ashaka died on Sunday in Egypt after a prolonged illness.

Isa Pantami, former minister of communications and digital economy, confirmed his death in an X post on Sunday.

The Connected Development (CODE) organisation also expressed grief over Ashaka’s death.

In a statement issued on Monday, Hamzat Lawal (@HamzyCODE), founder of CODE, described the late media practitioner as a “veteran journalist, patriot, and deeply cherished close associate” of the organisation.

Connected Development mourns the passing of Saleh Shehu Ashaka @AshakaSaleh, a veteran journalist, trusted partner, and a man who dedicated his life to seeking and speaking the truth.

Saleh dedicated his voice to the voiceless and his pen to justice. He was more than just an associate of CODE; he was part of our story. His integrity, loyalty, and commitment to a better Nigeria will never be forgotten.

To his family, friends, and everyone who knew him: may Allah (SWT) grant him Al-Jannah Firdaus and give you the Sabr to bear this loss. 🤲🏾

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.

Nigeria 🇳🇬 is standing at a crossroads, one path leads to resilience, the other to a climate future we may never recover from.

Across the country, from communities watching their farmlands wash away to families losing their homes to heat and flooding, millions of Nigerians are already living the reality of climate change. They cannot wait. And neither can we.

With #COP30, Nigeria has submitted its updated NDC 3.0, a bold promise to cut emissions by 32% by 2035. But behind that ambition lies a staggering cost: $337 billion needed between 2026 and 2035.

But the real question remains: who will fund it? Because climate finance is moving too slowly, and the crisis is moving too fast.

Seasons are life’s powerful reminder that nothing is permanent, not even hardship or success. Just as autumn leaves must fall to make way for new growth, so too must we be ready to embrace change.

Dear young mind, what feels permanent today can still transform tomorrow. Keep hope alive, stay resilient, and trust in your own seasons of growth👌
