Children's Day, 2022: Need for Safety of the Child and School

The terrific events happening in our dear nation, do they call for a celebration on a day like this? Is it really a happy children's day? It is obvious that we are just trying to make the children we have with and around us happy whereas there are so many unhappy children in our dear Country today - children whose parents were victims of an unsecured, lawless system, children who were killed and abducted right in school which is supposed to be a safe space.

We would like to reiterate to decision makers and all concerned stakeholders in our dear nation, the need to take the safety of the child and schools as priority. This, when done will make a day like this a truly "Happy Children's Day."

Nevertheless, we wish every child a happy and safe children's day today and everyday.

What are ways we can keep our children and schools safe and happy? Please share your views in the comments. ☺️

My Sexuality and I: My Unashamed Love 💕

My Story and Sexuality Sexuality can be a tricky subject to navigate, especially when you’re young and still figuring out who you are. But one thing I’ve learned through my own journey is that your sexuality is yours to define, and there’s no shame in it—no matter what it looks like or the world's views. This is my story and I hope it inspires you. Growing up, I had a close friend named Franca. We were very close and everyone knew us. Then, I was more often attracted to girls at different times and we could be so close. Today, a lot of young people get attracted to persons of different sexual orientation - a girl can get attracted to a girl, a boy to a boy, a girl to a boy and vice versa. There is nothing wrong with this on a platonic basis. Child This has been falsely interpreted as them having a different sexual orientation from whom their Maker made them, which informs their gender identity - gay, lesbian and every other identity. This has led to other forms of sexual orientati...

International Day of Conscience: When Moral Outrage Misfires – A Case Study in Ethical Activism

Abstract On this International Day of Conscience, we reflect on the delicate balance between righteous indignation and ethical responsibility. This article examines a 2025 incident in Nigeria where an activist’s public confrontation of a struggling mother and her 11‐year‐old daughter escalated into a humiliating episode. The case, which involved the exposure of the child’s face in violation of child protection guidelines, ultimately led to a public apology from the activist and compassionate intervention from well-meaning Nigerians including the famous chess player and philanthropist Tunde Onakoya, and the founder of Buchymix, who stepped in and offered to support the child’s education and the family's welfare, including accomodation. Through this analysis, we explore the complexities of activism that neglects empathy and the need for a conscientious approach in public discourse. Introduction Conscience guides us in differentiating right from wrong, yet its application in pu...
