Everyone says we advocate for the girl child at the detriment of boys. This is because there has been an age-long problem of inequality that we have been trying so hard to correct. At the same time, it feels like we left the men behind. This has caused a sharp tilt in the balance of things as women were being empowered but men were not. When this shift started happening, it seemed like men were doing just fine without it. Yet, leaving men at the mercy of societal constructs has given birth to toxic traits like drug abuse, violence and even suicidal tendencies. Hence, the dire need to help our men. This calls for more intense advocacy for the boy child. But not many people are seeing the urgency. This is why as often as possible; I like to highlight some great people who are picking up the gauntlet and making tremendous impact in boys’ and men’s lives. Today’s guest is Eshi Anna Obute. Eshi is a fantastic software engineer, an artist, a writer, a graphic designer and a craft w...

 In today’s world, we are always passionately advocating for women’s wellbeing and sometimes, it feels like we have left men behind. Men are usually silent or a tad negligent about issues that bother them personally. They are too busy fending for everyone else that they forget to notice that their heartbeat is irregular and they are gasping for breath too soon. Many times, men would work no matter what they feel because provider is part of their job description. It’s a badge they wear with pride and honor, a badge they never want to lose for any reason. So, they will give it all it takes every single time. You will more likely hear a man accept to do menial jobs even though he has a Master’s or doctorate degree holder so that he can cater for his family. Men will also work no matter what state of mind they’re in. He doesn’t even have to be married to assume these  tough responsibilities or make such sacrifices. Also, several experts agree that men are more likely to d...

  Today, we unite under the banner of “New Era, New Me: Redefining What It Means to Be a Girl.” This theme not only reflects the transformative potential of girls but also underscores the importance of rewriting the narrative about girlhood. Much like the Earth’s graceful dance around the sun, our values and culture, too, swirl and evolve in the ever-moving fabric of our dynamic world. It is essential that we revisit and reshape our understanding of what it means to be a girl. Gone are the days when girls were confined to limited roles and subjected to stereotypes. Today, girls emerge as architects of their destinies, destroying barriers and forging new trails. They demonstrate that gender is no compass for potential or worth. Melanie Perkins, the co-founder and CEO of Canva, is a prime example of redefining what it means to be a leader and entrepreneur. She began with a vision to make design accessible to all, penetrating the fortress of a male-dominated tech industry. With unwave...

  Today is the International Day of the Girl Child. The theme is “Invest in Girls’ Rights: Our Leadership, Our Well-being” – UNICEF and partners call for a $1 billion increase in investments for adolescent girls. Famous Billionaire and Founder of Spanx, Sara Blakely, said “When you help a woman fulfil her potential, magic happens.” But what happens when we don’t give girls the wings to fly? We lose so much magic! Our hopes of making the world a better place now has to take a longer time for us to realize because we’ve stopped a large segment of our population from making a difference. Think about all the inventions, music, scientific discoveries, companies, books and innovation we will never have because some lovely girls were told that these things were only for boys. Is that the world we want to continue living in? A world that squashes the dreams of an entire gender and snuffs out flickers of possibilities? Absolutely not! My name is Roseline Adewuyi and today, I stand before yo...

 It was much joy for the winners at the stadiums hosting the semifinals of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup for the winners. Spain overthrew favourites Sweden in a match that saw three goals in the last ten minutes of normal time, and England produced an effective performance against the cohosts at their home ground to book their place with the Spanish at Stadium Australia on August 20. Both teams have been largely scintillating to watch in the tournament so far and will surely be serving up a match for the ages in Sydney. Ella Toone became the first English player to score in the quarterfinal, semifinal, and final of a major tournament as she netted against the Australians in the thirty-sixth minute. Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo then rounded up the win after elite striker Sam Kerr had equalized with a stunning strike in the sixty-third minute. The Lionesses were the better team throughout the encounter, although they endured some nervy moments where Sam Kerr should have finis...
