How Free and Secure are You?
Dear Active Citizen, This has been another week of bad news. We must continue to hold our duty bearers accountable. The recent rape and murder of Hinny Umoren in Akwa-Ibom State is devastating. We are thankful for the citizens who have volunteered to help job seekers do background checks on companies. Anyone can be a victim of sexual […]
Police Brutality, Taking A Clue From Derek Chauvin’s Conviction
On that faithful 25th day of May 2020, if anyone had told George Floyd the African-American that it would be his last, I presume that the African blood in him would have sparked up some rebuke religiously or spiritually such as; ‘May the gods forbid’, ‘ I rebuke that in Jesus name’, ‘It is not […]
Speak Up!
Dear Active Citizen, Monday, April 26th, was a day of horror in Nigeria as bloodshed and kidnapping ravaged different parts of our country.

Good Governance Makes Sense – Ayobami Akinyode OLUNLOYO
(From the blog: ‘My Nigerian Dream’) Nigeria remains a country of countless contradictions. Impressive and daring citizens on one hand, yet a shockingly unimpressive leadership on the other. When ‘we the people’ clamour for ‘good governance’, it’s not just a mantra. Why can we not implement seemingly simple yet reasonable strategies? Good governance is neither […]
