The Good, the Bad & the Ugly!
Dear Active Citizen, In October 2021, at least 75 people were killed in Imo, Sokoto, Niger, Kogi and Katsina States. This is beyond tragic! How many can we count? These are not just figures, they were once living people, with dreams and aspirations of a better tomorrow. How long will our government keep quiet?
Your Vote: Your Voice!
Ndi Anambra! In the last election in Anambra State, only a small percentage of the voting population actually voted, – 21.74% – which doesn’t align with the ideal of “majority rule”, one of the basic tenets of democracy. For this election, voter turnout is also threatened by IPOB’s stay-at-home order. INEC says the show will go on, and our friends at Yiaga Africa are ready […]
Good News, Nigeria!
The nation grows when citizens and government play their respective roles in economic development. Behind every good act are men and women being productive in their different capacities.
We Shall Never Forget!
Dear Comrade, One year after #EndSARS, there are still cases of indiscriminate arrests, extrajudicial killings and torture of innocent citizens.

365 Days Later, We Remember.
Dear Friend, We have done well. The government is still intent on silencing our voices, but we will not be silenced! The thousands who made it to the Drive-Through-Memorial at Lekki Toll gate—location of the gruesome #LekkiTollKillings—and other locations across the country, have shown that we are united and more importantly, we will never forget 20.10.20.
More Than A Movement
Dear Active Citizen, In recounting the experiences that led to the nationwide protests over a year ago, EiE and other key Civil Society stakeholders released a joint statement demanding for clear and deliberate reconciliatory moves from the government towards the aggrieved citizenry, to calm agitations and restore normalcy to the polity. Read press statement.
Staying Healthy In Critical Times
Dear Active Citizen, These figures aren’t just numbers. They represent people! Covid-19 is real and still out there. Even after full vaccination, keep the distance, and mask-up always.
All Votes Matter
Ndi Anambra! As the race for the next governor tightens, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) registration data cleanup process has revealed that of the 2,525,471 registered voters in the state, 62,698 persons registered twice!
#DayOfTheGirl
October 11th marks the International Day of the Girl Child. As we recognise the efforts of global and local organisations in defending the rights of the girl child, we must also continue to speak up in cases where imbalance and varied forms of abuse are still prevalent. We all must do what we can to reengineer our societies […]
