What's the point in waking up at 6am to pray when more than half of your words are gibberish? Sleep well, wake up and have a chat with God. He wants a conversation, not a rehearsed script you've mastered for years. A 'ritual' is predictable and quite frankly Boring.
You cannot approve a project after you have already built it. That is not approval, that is paperwork trying to catch up with a decision that was already made.
The law says government must check a project's environmental impact before work begins. But here is what happened: construction on the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway started in March 2024. The Ministry of Environment's own letter, dated 8th November 2024, only approved Section II eight months later.
Ask the fisherman in Okun-Ajah whether anyone checked with him before the machines arrived to fill his creek with sand. Nobody showed him a report, he just watched the bulldozers come.
The same November letter lists things like a Resettlement Plan and a Shoreline Protection Plan as "conditions" for the project. But these are things that should come before you start building, not eight months after.
Government says ₦15billion has been paid as compensation. We ask a simple question: have the people actually affected seen that money, or are they still waiting to see if the promise was ever real?
We ask the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Environment one simple question: why was the safety of people's home assessed after their homes were already gone?
@ActionAidNG stands in solidarity with the coastal communities. To them, "compliance" is not a letter in Abuja. It is whether their homes and their water still exist.

I am Tomori.
A Nigerian court, the Federal High Court, Lagos, ordered the Police to pay my medical bill after they shot me.
They totally ignored and kept silent.
For 10 years.
If the institution meant to protect you can shoot you, cripple you, turn you into a disabled person, and ignore a court order.
Who is protecting your human rights?

You’re heavily pregnant, almost due, and your doctor tells you to stop stressing and bending because of your health.
You tell your husband.
He disagrees because his clothes still need washing.
You literally have to drag him to the hospital to hear it from the doctor himself.
Some of you don’t have husbands. You have oversized dependents.
Someone in your community knows a child with limb loss. Maybe you do too, and you do not know the next step of action to take. Maybe you have heard of a family in a nearby community navigating this, with no clear path to help. This is for you.

The IREDE Foundation provides free prosthetic limbs, rehabilitation, and care to children with limb loss and limb differences across Nigeria. You do not need to be a doctor to make a referral. You need to know a child who needs us.

The African diaspora needs to stop treating this as just another online debate.
If South Africa wants to normalise the mistreatment, humiliation and scapegoating of other Africans, then Africans outside South Africa should respond economically and culturally.
Stop watching South African films and shows. Stop buying South African wine. Stop buying South African products. Stop promoting South African tourism. Stop rewarding a country that treats vulnerable Africans as disposable while still expecting African solidarity, African markets and African cultural support.
This is not hatred of ordinary South Africans. It is a refusal to support a system and a social climate that dehumanises other Africans while calling it patriotism.
If African lives matter, then African money, attention and cultural support should also matter.
At this point, it is a moral obligation! I for one, I am done!
This Temi Otedola pregnancy debate exposes how little respect some of you hold for your wives.
The same woman who worked throughout her pregnancy so you dont have to carry the whole financial burden alone.
Same woman who you couldn’t provide the things mr Easy provided for his wife but she never complained. You can’t even provide the quality of health care Temi has🤦🏽♀️
How many of you can afford gym membership for their wives much more home gym?

BREAKING: The United Nations has said some weapons looted during the Libyan conflict in 2011 have ended up in the hands of extremist groups in Nigeria.
When you guys are done displaying coal tar, come and show us what the governor has done in the security sector. From surveillance to training to equipment to crisis responsiveness and warning systems. Anything at all.
Meanwhile, Nigerian cities desperately need to bring back urban planning. There is no good reason for everywhere to look like dustbin. We are not cursed.
I’ve been married for decades.
I still listen as my husband talks about government, the military, guns, and world events
topics I knew nothing about before we met.
They’re not always my natural interests, but I listen anyway. Sometimes he’ll talk for hours and I’ll just sit and listen.
I’ve learned from him, asked questions, and grown to understand what he loves and why.
That’s part of being a wife.
It’s what I call “duty listening”
giving him my full attention so he feels respected, valued, and heard.
Real marriage means choosing to listen and learn about the things your spouse cares about, even when it takes effort because you care about them.
This is exactly why so many modern relationships are disconnected today.
People don’t have much in common anymore, not because they’re incompatible from the start, but because they refuse to take the time to listen and learn.
They chase what personally excites them, and never bridge the gap.
Without that investment, shared interests never develop, only parallel lives.
It’s why they have separate friends, and act single even in relationships.
The world wants women to believe marriage is self-serving: weddings, baby showers, vacations, and retirement plans.
It’s not.
Marriage is listening, learning, changing and getting closer to becoming a better person together not apart.
If she won’t watch what you watch, listen to what you care about, or learn from you, she’s not the one.
