In this report, I wrote how ex-drug users continue to face stigma in Nigeria.

I might sound too liberal but bullying people for their choice not to protest or use their platform against the government is an insolent behaviour. Coercing for support has never proven to be an effective means of change; rather, it complicates matters.
I HONESTLY NEED HELP!!!!
ANYTHING, ANYONE… THE FRUSTRATION OF UNEMPLOYMENT AND NO RESULT FROM YEARS OF TRYING IS REAL AND ITS KILLING THE LITTLE STRENGTH I HAVE LEFT…
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
This cohort reflects the diversity, creativity, and brilliance of young Nigerians across all regions of the country.

“Ribadu’s role with coordination happened because many parts needed to move in specific directions. For example, the presidency had to provide political authority, the military had to provide operational credibility…”

The silence of the Federal Government of Nigeria, particularly President Bola Tinubu, on the kidnapped 45 pupils and staff of the school in Oriire is alarming.
Two teachers have been killed. The school principal is being made to make videos pleading for help and Mr President is in Lagos.
Maybe the President has forgotten that Oyo State is barely an hour to Lagos. If Oyo State is overtaken by bandits, Lagos is next.
One of the most important economy in Africa is under huge threat. Mr Tinubu must act, NOW!
No matter what your politics is, you should have a place in your heart to value human lives more than what we're seeing. We should be able to live in a more dignifying way. We should expect more from our government.
If you don't consider the fact that you share tribe, religion, country, or anything with people facing these things and realise you must call out the government to act, at what point will you wake up and see that we will all soon have nowhere to run to?
My bedtime was 2:00 am as a masters student in Malaysia.
My course work was bulky that I had to study into the morning. Some days, I sleep for few hours before waking ⏰️ to prepare for my lectures at 8:00 or 10:00 am.
At the end, my hardwork was handsomely rewarded.
1. Graduated as the best master's student at my convocation in 2022.
2. Won the pro Chancellor award with a cash gift.
3. Won the Dean's award in my Faculty.
From my MSc research work, I had multiple publications: 2 journal papers, 3 conference papers and 1 Elsevier book chapter.
These awards and publications contributed immensely to me winning a fully-funded PhD scholarship one year after the completion of my masters in Malaysia.
Guys, hardwork pays but you have to do the work when no one is watching.
What are you doing today behind the scene in the hope of a better tomorrow?
My beautiful mother arrived in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 this morning to join other Muslim faithfuls from around the World for the Hajj Pilgrimage.
I woke up to her message "We landed in Jeddah safely and we will be leaving for Medina shortly".
The last time she performed HAJJ, I was a JSS 3 student. That's 26 years ago. Thanks to her sister, who sponsored the journey.
Today, I am elated to be among the sponser for her second experience of HAJJ. All Glory goes to the Almighty for bringing us this far.
Our father and her, deserved all the soft life now. They were a complete parent and an excellent team.
Mum, I wish you a successful and rewarding HAJJ and a safe return home 🇳🇬. See you soon for summer vacation.
I pray you have the wherewithal to spoil your parents with beautiful experience while they live.
Channels TV Hits Back at Wike: We Are Not Making Money From Guzape Land
In an official rebuttal statement, Channels TV further challenged Minister Wike to publicly release the full list of journalists who received land in FCT.
My mentor once told me that one of the things that stalled their career was their refusal to move around. The older I get, the more I see the truth in that.
I have seen people relocate and experience more career progression in a few years than they did in almost a decade staying in the same environment.
Sometimes growth is not just about competence. Environment, mobility and proximity to opportunity matter more than we like to admit.
This @HumAngle_ report is brilliantly told. Another excellent resource on the history of the conflict that remains largely unknown. In interviews I have conducted on the period between the death of Mohammed Yusuf and Shekau's emergence as Imam, one thing was clear - the guys were devilishly intelligent. I was shocked when they mentioned some of the meeting spots where attacks in Abuja were planned, and some locations on the list of their targets. For instance, meetings were had in someone's house around "Tipper Garage in Mararaba" (people familiar with the outskirts of Abuja, especially in Nasarawa state, will know this area) while the popular Zone 4 in Wuse was among places to be hit with bombs.
There's more still to be documented, but kudos to @A_Salkida and his HumAngle team.
Association of Journalists like other professional associations usually seek for land allocation from State Governments for their members in form of welfare packages- Journalist Estate. This is totally different from allocation of land to ambassadorial appointees that many of them were once public officers.
If all ambassadors and others political appointees before now have been allocated lands in Abuja then all Abuja land would have been finished.
@GovWike 's response here is dubious.
