During my time at university, three scholarships were available to students. Two were exclusively reserved for female students, while the third gave 60% priority to girls. I saw many male students drop out because of financial difficulties. The underlying trend is clear: in the effort to close gender gaps, we are creating a deeper systemic problem by neglecting boys and disproportionately prioritizing girls. There was even a period when the CGPA requirements for scholarships were set lower for female students than for male students. The boy child is being overlooked, and the evidence continues to highlight this imbalance. Many young men are turning to drugs for comfort or engaging in cyber-crime. At the primary-school level, skills workshops and career-guidance programs specifically for boys are virtually nonexistent, yet countless organizations focus exclusively on advancing the girl child. We need balanced interventions if we are serious about addressing gender-based inequalities.

Why does "every app" need access to my location, my contacts, my photos, and my microphone just to function? You're a flashlight app. Why do you need to know where I live? This is a shakedown with permissions.

The fact that the 76-year old CEO in my workplace 3 streets away from the White House asked me to call him by his first name Damon doesn’t mean I should come back to Nigeria and call Dr. Oby Ezekwesili by her first name.
It’s lack of social intelligence. When you are in Rome, you behave like a Roman. Adapt quickly or be left behind.
The way no one batted an eye at "our husband has gone mad again", yet so many people are frothing at the mouth over "husband is useless", when the blurb clearly states that the story is about one woman's experience with marriage?
