"Sex without consent is rape"- Toyin Saraki

-


" The ongoing conflict in north-east Nigeria, attributed to Boko Haram and banditry, is a horrendous and distressing situation that we must do more to eradicate. The abduction of women and girls into forced marriages, sexual slavery and/or carriers of explosives is a disturbing feature of the ongoing conflict. Worse still: being ostracised and stigmatised by original communities hampers the reintegration of returnees, which leads to further exclusion from social protection, and those negative effects are compounded for mothers of children born from rape.⁣
⁣
On International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict today, I call on Nigerian authorities to ensure accountability for crimes of sexual violence. Further- I call on you to ensure psycho-social support for women and girl survivors to integrate them safely back into society. Comment 💪🏿 if you agree. It's only with the strength, understanding and kindness of all of us that we will be able to pressure for real change to prevent sexual violence, in conflict, and in Nigeria.⁣

In her words as shared ; "In the words of  #Malala : "There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a third power stronger than both, that of women."

I believe together we can create a new world: one in which no woman or girl dies from preventable complications in pregnancy or childbirth, and where no woman has to give birth without the help of a midwife, nurse or doctor. A world where no one i...

  When the People's Democratic Party (PDP) lost the last general election in 2019, which brought about the emergence of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Kwara State as led by his Excellency Governor AbdulRazaq AbdulRahman.

Kwarans are already comparing and contrasting the administeration of the previous government against the present, and the administeration of former senate president of the eight assembly, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki when he was the governor of kwara state against the present administeration. Expectations of Kwara Civil Servants centers around clearing salary backlogs,implementation of 30k minimum wage, promotion implementati...
