Widowhood in Nigeria is not just a loss - it often means poverty, displacement and exclusion
Martha(not her real name) is the 31y/o widow of a fallen soldier- evicted from her barracks home, now living in a school with her two children

Widows are not weak. They are underserved. We need government action, private sector support and scalable partnership to improve the lives of widows in Nigeria. This is not charity. It is an economic imperative. We must invest in widows to reduce gender inequalities
As we commemorate our Armed Forces,let's remember their families too.Military widows carry a lifelong sacrifice—often in silence. Honoring our fallen heroes must go beyond ceremonies to sustained care &support for their widows #WidowsMatterToo@FMWA_ng@unwomenNG@BeatriceEyong
By equipping widows with financial skills & business support we are advancing the Sustainable Development Goals—particularly poverty reduction, gender equality, decent work & inclusive growth. @FMWA_ng@wapalagos@unwomenNG@unwomenchief@BeatriceEyong

Governments, organizations & individuals must make a shift from empowerment to investment.
Widows empowerment is good but Investment in widows yields greater returns.
Investing in widows development will help secure a path to reducing gender inequalities & exclusion

Today at the validation exercise on the brilliant research by @aaafoundationng on #WidowhoodRealitiesInNigeria
Participants unanimously agreed that there's need for the recognition of the status of widowhood, outright ban on all forms of harmful cultural practices against widows
Absolutely insightful sessions!
The facilitators are pouring gems and priceless knowledge

Some like it peppery. Some mix it with veggies.
However you cook it, we all love it.
Today, we celebrate the meal that’s always on time, Supreme Noodles.
#WorldNoodlesDay#SupremeNoodles#KeepItReal
We can eat but we know very many widows who can not afford a meal for themselves and their children
So we kindly ask that @IndomieNigeria supports our #WidowsFoodBank where we support several widows and their children with food packs because #WidowsMatterToo
Thank you
