Isu Elihle awards 2025 : Second runner up🥉

Congratulations to our Isu Elihle 2025 second runner up : Mariya Shuaibu from Nigeria!

Her story highlights explores the experiences of street children in Kano State who are forcibly taken to rehabilitation camps by the Hisbah Board. While the initiative is framed as protecting vulnerable children, the story critically examines the conditions in these camps through the voices of the children themselves.

Moxii Africa would like to say that your work embodies excellence, courage, and commitment to ethical storytelling.
We celebrate you and your contribution to shaping Africa’s narrative. ✊🏆

Fruit flavours, flashy packaging, and social media hype are designed to attract.

The goal remains the same: recruit new users and sustain nicotine addiction. #UnmaskTheAppeal

[C A P P A @CAPPAfrica]

The tobacco industry has evolved its look, not its intentions. Behind the sleek branding and flavours is a carefully engineered addiction strategy targeting a new generation. This #WorldNoTobaccoDay, we expose the illusion. #UnmaskTheAppeal #TobaccoControl

[Prof. Isa Ali Ibrahim, CON @ProfIsaPantami]

The Day of Arafah is unmatched in virtue. The Prophet says: “There is no day on which Allah frees more people from the Fire than the Day of Arafah. For those not on Hajj, fasting on this day expiates the sins of the previous year and the coming year, as he ﷺ said, “I hope from Allah that fasting on the Day of Arafah will expiate the year before it and the year after it”. It is the day Allah perfected the religion with the verse, “This day I have perfected for you your religion”, and the best du’a is the du’a of Arafah: “La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah…”
May Allah answer our prayers, heal our sick, forgive our parents and loved ones, bring peace and blessings to Nigeria, and admit us into His mercy.

Good stories don’t just show up, you have to chase them, question them, verify them until they speak.

This is what I learned at the @CJIDAfrica SAIL+ Programme organised in Accra, Ghana & Dakar with other journalists across west Africa.

Grateful for the opportunity 🙏

[Mariya Shuaibu Suleiman @Missreeyah]

Today’s session in Accra, was not just insightful but truly eye-opening on OSINT and fact-checking tools. I had a lot to take home 🤗

[Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development @CJIDAfrica]

Across West Africa, journalists are navigating an increasingly difficult media landscape shaped by rising disinformation, shrinking resources, and growing pressure on independent media, especially in oppressive environments.

This week, the CJID, in partnership with Free Press Unlimited, convenes journalists from Nigeria, Ghana, The Gambia, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Senegal, and Côte d'Ivoire for a three-day workshop marking the start of a six-month fellowship focused on fact-checking, investigative and solutions journalism.

The goal is to support journalists to develop storytelling approaches that respond to the realities of today's information ecosystem, as the real work lies in how information is handled, verified, and presented.
