One of the hardest things about grief is that unfortunately, life moves on.

@Nigeriangod_ Raise boys to become disciplined, respectful, emotionally mature men — not men who see loyalty, consent, kindness, and accountability as weakness.
A good man is built by values, character, and example. Happy International Boy Child Day 💙

[Brooda John @Nigeriangod_]

Teach your boy child “ Men are not Polygamous in Nature

Teach your boy child that “a Man not cheating isn’t Simp but rare gem

Teach him not to seek Validation from DAMAGED Men on social media

Teach Your boy child how to handle Rejections

Teach your Boy child Consents & No means No

Teach your Boy the beauty of staying faithful with one woman

Teach your boy child respect towards women

Teach Your boy child the gravity of their actions

Lastly :Be a Good examples to your boy child because you can tell them all this things but if you’re not leading by examples then you’re a joker.

Happy INTERNATIONAL BOY CHILD DAY 🩷.

Some conversations really make you pause and reflect. These conversations from The Nigeria We Want made us ponder on how we can really achieve the Nigeria that we want.

[WILAN @wilanglobal]

We didn't question some things we were taught, not at first, anyway.

But somewhere between growing up and actually living… the questions start to come.

Were you raised to become someone? Or prepared to belong to someone?

We asked these Nigerian women to be honest about it. And here are their answers

Some were raised to stand on their own. But most were shaped for marriage, even before they understood what that meant.

What about you? Do you have any stories to share on this? Let's chat in the comments below 👇

Wow. Look at this headline. Not her experience, qualifications, or vision for office, but a sexual harassment allegation she made against a permanent secretary. This is low, even for Premium Times.

I’m Stranded in Lagos guys
I Need Your Support 🙏

Hi, my name is Esther Ubak. I came all the way from Akwa Ibom State to Lagos for an exhibition, full of hope and excitement, dreaming that this trip would open doors for my craft and creativity.

I’m a startup without funding anywhere, and to make this trip possible, I had to borrow money from friends, gather materials, and cover my travel expenses, all with the hope that the exhibition would be a success.

But things didn’t turn out as I expected. The exhibition didn’t go as planned, and now, I’m faced with the reality of having to refund every single amount I borrowed.

I really need the support I can get right now.

So here I am, still in Ajah, Lagos, with all the beautiful, handcrafted, upcycled pieces I brought along. I cannot go back home until they are sold, and every piece carries the love, time, and creativity I poured into it.

Below this post are the products available for pickup, each with its price tag clearly displayed.

So If you’re in Lagos and love unique art, this is your chance to grab something special.

📍 Location: Ajah, Lagos
📲 To order: Screenshot your favorite piece(s) and DM me on WhatsApp: [phone]

If you can’t afford a piece right now, you can still share this post, refer a friend, or invite someone who might love them. Your support, big or small really means the world and can help turn this setback into a blessing. 🙏

Happy World Book Day. 📚

The most powerful woman in the room didn't get there by accident. She got there because at some point, someone put the right book in her hands.

Recommend a book that changed your life today. Every recommendation counts for the woman reading this on a long shift, during a commute, or in the quiet before the day begins.

Add yours. 👇

Amaka did everything right. The system still failed her. She showed up, she asked questions and she advocated for herself.

But advocacy only works when someone on the other side is truly listening.
Nigeria accounts for nearly 30% of global maternal deaths because the systems meant to protect them weren't built with them in mind.

When women lead in healthcare, lived experience stops being dismissed as "nothing to worry about" and starts shaping policy, funding, and care design.

Better representation is a clinical intervention.
🔁 Share if you believe the voices most affected should be the ones leading the change.

👇 Drop a "🩺" if you know an Amaka.

Nigeria is hiring. Are you qualified to lead a state… or do you know a woman who is?

This week, the vacancy is for State Governor. This role sits at the centre of state-level power, shaping how policies are implemented, how resources are managed, and how people actually experience governance day to day. From economic direction to public service delivery to security, the impact is immediate and local.

If leadership is a job, then this one is clear. Who has the competence to manage resources, the discipline to deliver on policy, and the judgment to lead under pressure?

Through this campaign, we are opening up the conversation and inviting the public to actively participate in shaping the future of leadership ahead of the 2027 elections. Because when we begin to look at these roles for what they are, the expectations change.

So, who should lead your state?

Thanks again, @wilanglobal

Mr. Hundeyin's disengagement was due to repeated, and documented financial irresponsibility. The Board members no longer had confidence in his commitment to the core principles of WAW or in his work ethic. In due time, more communication will be made available on these issues.

[The Leading Woman Show @leadingwomanshw]

A lot of people think protest is the end goal, but it’s really just the beginning!
The real question is what happens after the noise?
Strategy, structure, and follow-through are what turn voices into actual change.

[HR Sis @seyithemie]

I actually love how Korean dramas fully immerse you in the careers they portray. The processes feel real, the terminology is accurate, and there are always subtle lessons woven in. You’re entertained and learning at the same time.

[Itunuoluwa Hunga @itunuhunga]

@imoteda I see what you did there☺️

[Tegbe! @TomiwaTegbe]

You’ve practically just answered the question yourself. You, I, and the women speaking out, very well know that not all men are rapists or bad, it goes without saying. I am not, you are not, so why are we so determined to use moments when they are expressing anger, fear, and real patterns they’ve experienced from men to exempt ourselves as if we don’t understand what they mean?

If you and I are not guilty, our government names were not called, why do we feel attacked in that very moment? Why are we more concerned about exceptions the moment a norm is being rightly called out? Do we want an award for being exceptions? What does it matter to the victims, in that very moment, that you and I are exceptions when no one mentioned our names? Of what use is highlighting our “good guyness”? Is that the real issue?

How is it helpful to the issue when, instead of leading with empathy and understanding, acknowledging and holding our fellows accountable, our first and loudest response is being dismissive, derailing the convo, centering and reassuring ourselves instead of the affected people?

We understand what we mean when we say the Nigerian police are bad or share our horrible experiences, we know not all officers are bad. Yet in that moment, we understand that it would be dismissive and insensitive when someone, especially a police officer responds with “not all police” or claim we are exaggerating. Imagine this happening during the heat of Endsars.

We understand the concept of rhetorical expressions used to highlight patterns and communicate urgency. We understand the concept of using language for social critique and pointing out systemic issues. We understand that the point is to draw attention to recurring problems or patterns, we understand all these in other issues but choose not to apply that same understanding here, why?

Why is it so important to us that “some” must always be inserted when a pandemic is being highlighted?
Ozoro did not happen out of nowhere, it happened because an ill has been so normalized for too long unchecked, one that persists when patterns are downplayed or dismissed and young men have been socialized to find nothing wrong with it.

We must do better.

[Miyandy @Amahashi_]

I worked 20 years for a child sex trafficking rescue group. I want you to know this:

90% of Lost Children Are Found Within 30 Minutes.

That statistic should both comfort you and wake you up.

Most lost children are found quickly. But the ones who aren’t? They usually made one mistake.

And here’s the uncomfortable truth:

It’s often the exact thing most parents teach them.

We tell our kids:

“If you get lost, come find me.”

It sounds logical. It sounds empowering.

It’s WRONG!

The Mistake Most Lost Children Make:

When children realize they’re separated, they do three things almost automatically:

They panic.
They wander.
They try to find you.

Every step makes them harder to locate.

From a search standpoint, movement creates chaos.

Parents retrace their steps.
Security scans zones.
Staff lock down areas.

Search works best when movement stops.

When a child keeps walking, they move outside the original search radius. Helpers are looking where they were last seen — not where they’ve wandered.

Stillness increases probability.

Movement expands the problem.

The first lesson is not “go find me.”

It’s this:

Stop. Stay. Yell.

Why Stillness Wins:

Think like a search team.

If a child stays put:

Parents can retrace steps.
Security can scan systematically.
Helpers converge to one fixed location.
The search radius remains small.
If a child keeps moving:

The search area expands.
Adults pass each other.
Missed connections multiply.
Minutes stretch into hours.
Stillness keeps the math on your side.

Teach Them Who to Approach:

The second mistake we make as parents?

We say, “Find an adult.”

Not any adult. Not the nearest stranger. Children need a filter.

Teach them to look for, if at all possible:

A mother with children.

Caregivers who already have kids with them are statistically among the safest people to approach in public settings. They are visible, stationary, and more likely to engage quickly.

It’s a clear, concrete instruction.

Children don’t process vague categories like “safe adult.”

They process visuals.

“Find a mom with kids” is visual.

A Phone Only Helps If the Number Is Known:

We often assume phones solve everything.

They don’t — unless your child can use one. Even young children can memorize a 10-digit phone number with repetition.

But you must train it.

Practice it like a song.

Sing it in the car.
Chant it at bedtime.
Turn it into rhythm.

Repetition becomes recall.

In an emergency, recall matters more than theory.

The Code Word Rule:

One more layer of protection.

Choose a private family code word.

Something only your household knows.

If someone approaches and says:

“Your mom sent me.”

Your child asks:

“What’s the code word?”

No word.
No go.

This simple rule eliminates manipulation attempts instantly.

It gives your child agency without requiring them to evaluate character.

Real Safety Is Training — Not Luck!

We don’t get safer by hoping.

We get safer by practicing.

Teach:

• Phone number
• Code word
• Stop, stay, yell
• Find a mom with kids

Multiple skills.
Simple instructions.
Clear visuals.

Five minutes of training can replace hours of panic. This isn’t about fear. It’s about preparation.

Because when a child gets separated, the clock starts.

And what they do in the first minute determines what the next thirty look like.

That’s real protection.

From leadership and governance to communities, culture, business, and the home, women are at the center of Nigeria’s progress, shaping outcomes every day, often without recognition or support.
