Placing women at the forefront of a national call for increased accountability on the security of lives and property in Nigeria.

[Make Every Woman Count (MEWC) @MakeWomenCount]

War & conflict have a disproportionate impact on women, whilst at the same time they remain massively underrepresented in peace talks. Involving more women in conflict resolution is crucial to securing the safety of women overall👇

We demand, still, that the Nigerian Government puts effective measures in place that will guarantee the safety of women and girls, by implementing policies that concern them, and creating gender-responsive budgets.

Today is set aside for the commemoration of International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women today. A day such as this is important because Nigeria is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be born female.

Insecurity and the migration that ensues it further place women and their children at a disadvantage, leaving them prone to inhumane conditions, treatments, and Sexual and Gender Based Violence.

Today, we're at the 2nd Annual National Women's Conference in Abuja.

The theme of this year's annual conference is "Women, Peace and Security, Perspective on Inclusion, Issues, and Progress."

The sessions and workshops examine effects of Insecurity on Nigerian Women.

More farmers are downing tools, fearing they may become victims of terror attacks. As a result, food items are scarcer, driving prices through the roof — beyond the reach of the poor.

The endless cycle of horror on Abuja-Kaduna highway!
Lives have been lost, many others have been declared missing. Where is the outrage?

[Ayo @theayosamuel]

Insecurity is a huge threat to food security. And with the way things are going, food insecurity will soon be the biggest national security threat.

A vicious cycle that feeds itself.

The ban of @Twitter operations in Nigeria is approaching six months - enough time to incubate or grow a business.

Instead, many people are deprived a means of livelihood, thereby, feeding the already skyrocketing level of unemployment & putting a tape on our freedom of speech.

[Secureourlives 🇳🇬 @Secureourlives_]

To ensure our safety and of others, we must all be active bystanders who speak up when they notice any threat to safety, or witness an act of violence.

This way, we can hold one another and our leaders accountable.

[Secureourlives 🇳🇬 @Secureourlives_]

It is nearly impossible for people to make exploits while their safety is not guaranteed.
Individual excellence has a ripple effect on a country's prosperity, we hope the Nigerian Government knows this.

Welcome to November! We wish you all a beautiful and peaceful month.

In Nigeria, Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) are often relegated to the fringes of society. They're cut off from accessibility, protection & empowerment. This is far from ideal.

It's the first day of the week and we are thinking about this quote by James Russell, wondering if the Nigerian Government and its arms are cognizant of this knowledge.

Residents in the Northwest region are constantly feeling insecure as kidnapping has become a means of terrorism executed by bandits. In September 73 students were kidnapped from Day Secondary School Kaya, Maradun LGA of Zamfara state. #NigeriaMourns #SecureNigeria

[BeingYoungNG @BeingYoungNG]

Nigerian youth can transform society by actively participating in politics and governance.

This is why the NYP demands for the Nigerian government to design & promote programs that encourage youth participation in governance.

We ask that the Government stops trying to gaslight us as a nation and account for these deaths, reprimand the assailants, and #EndSars as demanded by the protesters that were murdered.

Exactly a year ago, Nigeria experienced a great reawakening when its citizens employed resources at their disposal to demand that their right to life be respected and protected by the Government and security agencies.

Unfortunately, protesters were gunned down and many families are now left with hollows.

We remember all those who died standing up for themselves, loved ones, and other citizens.
