This is the 3rd Edition of the event to mark International Day of the Girl Child I will be organizing. I have never been physically present for any Edition but I appreciate the support system I have in friends and those who key into this vision who ensure that everything goes on smoothly. Thanks to everyone who has been holding the forte, pulling this through over the past 3 years in my absence. The International day of the girl Child as celebrated by me in partnership with Teach Her Foundation was held this year with over 120 participants including boys and girls, in attendance. The program is aimed at telling young girls not to wallow in limitations. As the theme of this year connotes (I AM A GIRL, UNSCRIPTED ME, UNSTOPPABLE ME), girls were motivated against existing societal stereotypes to dream beyond expectations and live their biggest dreams. Different keynote speakers invited to the program including the wife of the Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan Dr. Eyiwumi Bolutito Akinneye-Olayinka, did justice to clearing all doubts on girl advocacy and enlightenment. There was also a panel session where girls got the opportunity to ask questions and listen to experienced men and women. My sincere prayer is that there will be profound and life changing impact in the lives of the students. Years later, may they look back and see the impacts of what has been sown into their lives. Amen. May his inspire a generation of Unscripted and Unstoppable Girls.
To celebrate International Men's Day, I would like to honor the men and women who are involved in advocacy for boys and men in the Nigerian space and whom I have interviewed on my blog. I wish more men would pick up the gauntlet in the area of boys and men advocacy. 1.

While the concept of choice is something I subscribe to, I have some reservations about the choice feminism. Choice feminism is simply a concept of feminism that upholds women’s right to choose. This idea states that a woman has the right to CHOOSE how she would live her life and we should respect that. People often bring this up when we ask questions about women’s choices that reflect misogyny. If you try to evaluate the CHOICES of these women, they play the respect their choice card. I have a few questions, however: What if those choices aren’t really choices per se? What if these choices are deeply rooted in patriarchal values and are coming from the societal constructs they have known all their lives? What if these choices are the only life they have known and they are only happy with it because they don’t realize that they can be more? Shouldn’t we able to question that? Let’s look at the housewife for example. Now, let me put it out there that I completely agree that a woman...
Empowering Women - Bridging the Gender Gap in The Workforce Through Investment and Innovation Rita's knees dropped to the ground as soon as her grandmother delivered the news. At that moment, life was meaningless, and she longed to die with her father. She was all that was left of the Briggs family –her mother died during childbirth. About 19 years ago, Mrs. Briggs had gone into early labour while volunteering as a doctor in a rural area. She started bleeding but was able to birth the child. However, the baby was premature. Unfortunately, there were no incubators, the baby, and mother died. Rita intended to build a solar-powered incubator so that babies could have a chance at life. At first, it seemed unrealistic, but her father made her see reasons to push forward. She made him promise to pitch it to his bosses because she lacked the confidence. “You should pitch it yourself.” He insisted. Grief stricken, Rita abandoned the project after her father's death. However, m...
