There are days when you will feel the urge to suddenly "stop pursuing" that goal, dream or vision.
At this point, when passion fails you, you need obsession to keep going.
How obsessed are you with achieving that goal?
Obsession is highly needed when passion burns short.

What is the first step you would take if you experienced gender-based violence?
Are you even aware that Nigeria has a law that prohibits various forms of violence?
According to the 2024 Womanity Index, 3 out of every 5 Nigerians have either experienced gender-based violence or know someone who has.
Yet, 50.7% of Nigerians are unaware of one of the most important laws protecting them - the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) (VAPP) Act. Ten years after its passage, data show that of the 49.3% who are aware, only 29% know its content “very well.”
If we truly want to combat GBV, we must start by improving awareness about the systems and structures that protect people. Data shows us where the gaps are and where action is needed.
The full VAPP Act Implementation Survey Report 2025 is out!
Public awareness is just one of the four themes assessed in this report. The others are Enforcement Systems, Support Services, and Coordination Mechanisms.
These insights, along with detailed national and state-level data, are all in Invictus Africa’s VAPP Act Implementation Survey Report 2025, which covers 35 of Nigeria’s 36 states (except Kano) and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

📊Education Access and Its Impact on Modern Contraceptive Use
This data shows an encouraging trend in modern contraceptive use, with a steady increase as women gain more access to education.
The percentage of women using modern contraceptive methods rises from 6.3% (no education) to 28% (more than secondary education), a sharp and meaningful difference.
This pattern underscores how education can empower women with knowledge, confidence, and the ability to make informed decisions about their reproductive health.
Better education improves a woman's access, and it remains one of the most powerful pathways to strengthening reproductive health choices and advancing women’s health across communities.

Terrorists abducted 25 schoolgirls THIS MONDAY. Killed a vice principal. Killings in churches and invading communities , kidnapping ON HIGHWAYS. Over 2,266 dead in 2025 alone, surpassing all of last year. When do we stop calling this "banditry" and call it what it is: terrorism!
SAY IT LOUDER. Misinformation about Nigerian tragedies is careless and dangerous. These are people’s lived realities. You don't get to lie about our suffering for clout or talking points.
The receipts don't lie. He did. And he got served🌶️
You are a liar.
You lied when you said @piersmorgan spoke about the "Chibok Boys" (that never happened).
You lied about the number of Christian deaths in Nigeria.
Every word out of your mouth is a lie.
Shame on you.
As they say in Nigeria, I showed you the pepper. 🌶️
This is what impunity looks like.
How did we get here? How can armed groups openly terrorize citizens, document their crimes, yet face zero consequences? This is a complete collapse of state responsibility, and silence in the face of terror is permission for it to continue.
In a sovereign state, armed terrorists are waiting on public roads, waiting to lay siege. They are even bold enough to post unmasked videos of themselves on social media.
