The scariest part about having children isn’t the pregnancy. It isn’t the labour pains or the sleepless nights. It’s the uncertainty. It’s knowing that when you give birth to a child, you’re also giving birth to a future you cannot control.
My dear Nigerians,
Today, April 2nd, is World Autism Awareness Day, a time to recognize and celebrate individuals on the autism spectrum. Autism is not a limitation; rather, it is a different way of experiencing the world.
On April 4th, I will lend my voice in support of the 7KM Autism Awareness Walk taking place at Monolisa Park, R.B. Dikko Road, Central Business District, Abuja, alongside the Ria By Maria Autism Foundation team (@rbm_foundation).
This initiative serves as a timely reminder that nation-building is not solely about infrastructure and economics; it is also about how we care for the most vulnerable among us. Promoting autism awareness, ensuring early diagnosis, and creating inclusive support systems are essential for building a compassionate and productive society.
I commend the organizers for their commitment to advocacy and meaningful community impact. I encourage residents of Abuja and beyond to participate, support, and amplify this important cause.
A better nation is possible when we leave no one behind. -PO
“Respect our tradition.” “It’s our culture.”
This is 2026. Deltans, if your ‘culture’ involves sexually assaulting women cos they went outside, it’s not ‘culture’, it’s abuse. Fuck your culture.
Many girls have reportedly been r@p£d and m0l£sted by men in Ozoro during what is being described as a “r@p!ng festival” in the area.
According to multiple reports and videos circulating online, today is said to be the day of this festival in the Ozoro community, and girls are wvrned not to go outside. It is alleged that any girl seen outside could be att@ck£d and r@p£d by groups of men.
Foreigners who are unaware of this situation have reportedly fallen v!ctim as well. There is Delta state university in Ozoro, and many female students may not be fully aware of the d@nger. It is distvrbing that something like this could be tolerated in society. This is heartbreaking, and urgent action needs to be taken.
The amount of men in those videos is sickening. If rape culture can bring out a such a huge crowd, just imagine what they are doing behind closed doors.

Having children is cute, but it’s also a gamble. It’s a 50/50 of hope and fear. You don’t just give birth to a baby, you give birth to a whole human being with their own will, their own mind. And I don’t know if I could ever live with that kind of uncertainty.
