IWD: Celebrating women who power TheCable and their impact
There are moments in history when a single act of courage shifts the course of events — often unnoticed at first, like a ripple on the surface of a quiet lake.
At TheCable, these moments are in history and so are they in the present. They happen in newsrooms, on the field, behind desks, on podcasts, and in the silent yet powerful decisions made every day by the women who define this media powerhouse.
For International Women’s Day 2025, themed “Accelerate Action”, TheCable is spotlighting the bold stories of some of the incredible women who make up its newsroom, administration, and leadership. These are women whose bold choices and relentless drive have shaped the media landscape, changed lives, and rewritten the rules of engagement. Today, we celebrate their courage, fire and impact in the lives of fellow women.

In the course of our investigation on the effect of e-waste in the country, we visited a Lagos community badly affected by landfill. @Jemeelat and I spoke with residents who shared the pain of how the dumpsite has adversely affected their lives. 😟 👇🏾
LIVING ON BORROWED TIME: How Nigeria’s unchecked e-waste is poisoning residents, environment
Nigeria has become a dumping ground for electronic waste (e-waste) from developed countries due to its booming market for fairly-used electrical and electronic equipment. The country’s inadequate waste management infrastructure has exacerbated this crisis; hence, the informal sector handles the majority of e-waste disposal, collection, and recycling. This often involves crude and hazardous methods, which pose severe risks to both human health and the environment.
