We Stay Demanding!
Dear Active Citizen! It has been 162 days since the Nigerian government officially placed an indefinite ban on Twitter operations in Nigeria. Recall that on June 6th, two days after the ban, the Attorney-General & Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, directed that citizens who are caught still tweeting will be prosecuted; an order that had no constitutional grounds. The rather laughable irony is […]
Good News, Nigeria! – November 8, 2021
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.
The Time Has Finally Come!
Anambrarian! Election day is upon us! Are you ready to vote for your ideal candidate – the Principal Officer who can rightly steer the reins of the state for the next 4 years? The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said that the Commission is doing everything within its power to ensure your vote counts. So, mobilise your friends and community network […]
You Are Not Alone!
Dear Friend, How are you? Do not think of this question as rhetorical. This is your conscience speaking. Really, how is your mental health? Before the pandemic, statistics from the World Health Organisation (WHO) as of 2019, showed that Nigeria, the seventh-largest country in the world, could have up to 50 million people suffering from mental health issues. The organisation […]
Reflections: The EiE Impact Report 2020
Dear Friend, From noble and unplanned beginnings triggered by the failings of the then Yar’adua Government in 2010, we have grown in capacity to influence a new crop of Nigerians tired of the systemic decadence and eager to rebuild the only nation we can proudly call home. The EiE Impact Report 2020 chronicles our footprints, in numbers and unforgettable milestones […]
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 […]

We Shall Never Forget!
Dear Comrade, One year after #EndSARS, there are still cases of indiscriminate arrests, extrajudicial killings and torture of innocent citizens. In fact, what played out on Wednesday, October 20th, during the anniversary protests across Nigeria, is a testament that the Nigeria Police Force has not been reformed. Such impunity! The Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, owes it as […]
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.
