Universities across Nigeria have a sexual harrassment culture and the level of impunity is astounding.

Victim-blaming is rape culture and our Universities should not be a place where victim-blaming and body policing thrives

The onus of Sexual Harassment prevention doesn't lie on the victim. That is why a billboard instructing women to stop dressing to "provoke Sexual Harassment" is disgusting and we reject that school of thought, in a Nigerian university much less

Who sponsored this billboard? Who approved it?

Adekunle Ajasin University should do better.

The Ondo State Government should do better.

The ministry of Education should do better.

Reject and pull down this sexist billboard.

Problem

THE WORST KIND OF CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA IS ELECTION RIGGING AND IT MUST STOP. MY VOTE IN 2019 ELECTION IS MY VOICE, MY RIGHT, MY FREEDOM AND MY POWER TO CHOOSE WHAT KIND OF LEADER AND GOVERNMENT I WANT IN NIGERIA. THE GENESIS OF ALL PROBLEMS IN NIGERIA IS BAD LEADERSHIP. BAD LEADERS EMERGE WHEN CANDIDATES RIG THEIR WAY TO POWER. THIS MUST STOP. 

Solution

I SUPPORT IMPOSING A PERMANENT TRAVEL BAN ON PERSONS AND THEIR FAMILY WHO MAYBE INVOLVED IN VOTER SUPPRESSION, INTIMIDATION OR RIGGING ELECTIONS IN NIGERIA

Personal story
WE ARE THE ASSOCIATION OF UNEMPLOYED NIGERIANS AND DISTRESSED BUSINESSES (AUNDB) AND WE ARE VICTIMS OF BAD GOVERNMENTS WHO ARE PRODUCTS OF RIGGING. THIS MUST STOP.

Nigerians are eager to register for Permanent Voter's Card in order to participate in the upcoming general elections.

However, eligible voters have been frustrated by insufficient working tools, manpower, slow process, unavailability of INEC officials, inability to register on weekends amongst others.

This petition is to compel Independent National Electoral Commission to extend registration to weekends to enable workers register for Permanent Voter's Card (PVC) so as to exercise their franchise in the upcoming general elections.

On Monday June 1st 2015, Africa World Airlines said to Freky Andrew-Essien that 'We don't fly wheelchair passengers, we are sorry, but it is company policy'. Freky as she is fondly called is the founder of FAECARE a nonprofit organization that plans and implements programs that provides basic support services in education, health, and psychological development to vulnerable communities. She has overcome limitations to be a development champion. 

People With Disability like Freky are often limited to live up to their full potential because of discriminating policies like this. Many of them in the past have no voice, if we all keep quiet on this issue, many more people like Freky will be affected.

We are calling on this airline and the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority - Ministry of Transport to Reverse discriminatory policy that affect People Living with Disabilities (PWD), Provide necessary equipment to fly them on airplane, Refund Freky, and apologize to Freky Andrew-Essien.

Here is a story from Freky:

My story is quite simple- I live in portharcourt Nigeria and have an internship at an organisation in the Nothern province of Ghana. The route via air is Port harcourt - Lagos ; Lagos - Accra and Accra to Tamale. Flights were booked and on getting to the domestic airport in accra I presented my ticket but was called aside by the airline official and told that the airline didn't fly wheelchair bound passengers because they don't have facilities to board me...lifts and all. I told them it wouldn't be a problem as I have experienced the general lack of facilities when it comes to PWDs(Persons with disability) but that I was ready to work with them as I have always done when faced with these situations, with them. And the next thing they said was that sorry, but it's a policy...and added that if I could walk with a cane or something, they'd try. I asked for a refund so I could try booking another flight and they said i'd have to do that in their lagos office. Anyway, I did approach the other 2 airlines Antrak Air (which I have used before) and Starbow Airlines, they also said "sorry" and mentioned policy. Bottom line no flight and thus a 10 hour trip by road. How is this Right?
