We Are The Change We Seek!

Celebrating Our Little Wins!!!
In response to one of the #EndSARS 5 for 5 demands, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved a salary increase for police officers by 20%. Fam! Our struggles for a better Nigeria will not be in vain. We are making significant progress. Let’s keep the pressure on! To improve the criminal justice system, revamping the Nigeria Police force for true service […]
Shine Your Eye!

Seeking Justice and Reconciliation

Sitting is currently ongoing in the F.C.T. Out of the 27 states that have concluded sittings, only 15 states have publicly presented reports to their respective state governments.

Stigmatisation and Victim-blaming have stifled generations of girls and women. Enough is enough!
What Is Your Vote Worth?

While believers in the #EndSARS movement got some closure and admittance from the Lagos State Judicial Panel that the Nigerian military actually killed unarmed citizens on the night of October 20, 2020, one cannot but reflect on the fact that the government consistently denied the massacre and continually gaslighted its […]

It is rather disheartening that Africa’s most populous black […]
