Until All #ChibokGirls are Free!
Dear Active Citizen, Wednesday, April 14, 2021 marks 7 years since the abduction of 276 #ChibokGirls. So far, 164 girls have either escaped, were released or found. However, 112 #ChibokGirls still remain in captivity. The federal government did not learn from the abduction of the #ChibokGirls as the recent mass kidnapping of students show that students are still […]
You Snooze, You Lose!
Dear Active Citizen, We didn’t come this far to give up! The declaration of result of the Aba North/South Federal Constituency by-election which held on Saturday, March 27, 2021, was the true definition of voter apathy. 496,628 registered voters; 16,017 people voted. 3.29% voter turnout. Citizens are not interested in politics because they have been disappointed too many […]
Use Your Voice!
Dear Active Citizen, Remember our promise to always stay on course even when the “noise” has died down? Well, we never broke it. The #EndSARS #5for5 Demands are still well on our radar and we are pleased to see some progress. President Buhari has finally constituted the Governing Board of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), a win […]
#ThursdayTalks – My EiE Journey!
Dear Active Citizen, February 2021 was the 10th year of my “accidental” leadership of the EiE Team. We then celebrated 11 years of inspiring action on Tuesday, March 16, 2021! At this month’s #ThursdayTalks, we will mark both milestones as I sit with Maupe Ogun-Yusuf (Co-host, Sunrise Daily on Channels Television) to share my #OnePerson journey of steering EiE Nigeria over […]
11 Years of Inspiring Action!
Dear Active Citizen, Just talking has never been enough, so 11 years ago, we took ONE ACTION: kick-started the process to inspire Nigerians to talk less & act more! We activated our Office of the Citizen and invited you to do likewise. As ONE PERSON, each Nigerian can Sọ̀rọ̀ Sókè and contribute to the process of meaningful change, ONE action at a time. We celebrate every […]
Choose To Challenge!
Dear Active Citizen, March 8, 2021, was International Women’s Day, and from the testimonies and accolades on what women have achieved despite being in a world where women have limited opportunities, one can agree that women are the real game-changers. Still in doubt? Look around you! Many times, women have stood up for what was right; […]
The Wait is Over!
Dear Active Citizen, The wait to be vaccinated against the coronavirus in Nigeria is finally over! Nigeria received a total of 3.92 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine on Tuesday, March 2, 2021. The National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) has launched an online portal dedicated to providing information about the guidelines for vaccination and pre-registration. Those who […]
If you’re reading this, you’re Qualified!
Dear Active Citizen, We know you are aware of the recent happenings in the country especially with regards to insecurity. Gunmen now brazenly kidnap people, families haggle ransom prices or lose their wards; we no longer worry about bad roads but escaping bandits attacks on the way. There’s civil unrest especially in the southern region […]
Congratulations are in order!
Dear Active Citizen, Bravo! #OccupyLekkiTollGate happened!? Despite the threats and battery, you were resilient… The heavy security presence did not deter you. You stood your ground and spoke your truth. You walked your talk. You showed you aren’t the Sọ̀rọ̀ Sókè generation for nothing. It takes only the brave to stick to a plan even after being threatened. You have […]
There’s strength in numbers!
Dear Active Citizen, We are with you through thick and thin. We have kept to this promise and are ensuring that the demands of citizens are met. The Lagos State Government owns the Lekki Tollgate and it must allow the Judicial Panel of Inquiry to finish its proceedings before reopening it. People need to know that […]
