One risk that social media has come with is the temptation to “record,” to “share,” to “post,” to “forward”, etc. There is, purportedly, not so much thinking involved. Today most people would assent that they tend to be more careful in public because they can end up becoming popular jokes and memes in a split second.
It is common to hear in the media, news, public addresses, celebrations, etc. that leaders are praised so much. Often times the praises are exaggerated as compared to the performance of these leaders. It is high time we question when all this began and where it is taking us as a people. Why do we entertain it?
When injustice becomes normalized, denial of rights becomes normative as well. Then honouring the people’s due rights becomes a kind of privilege or favour. Gender-based injustice, one of the oldest forms of discrimination, has had serious impacts on the wider society. We need to respond to it as a matter of urgency and with a lot of reasonableness and wit as it touches on people’s cultures.
Every story and history has a storyteller (narrator) who oftentimes influences the story based on their point of view.

All workers are exposed to occupational hazards and dangers in different ways based on the nature and actual situations of their work environment. Each is vulnerable to some possible deadly situations either immediately or in the long run if safety measures are not duly observed. Employers and workers should be held accountable for non-compliance, each for their part, while the government really works to ‘create an enabling environment’ as the policy reads.
Music is by nature and function representative. It is representative of the people who own it, and who cherish it, regardless of whether its taste meets the generic criteria of musical beauty and brilliance. It is high time we talk about the controversy and gross lyrical and visual taste of modern Bongo Fleva music.
Human trafficking happens internationally, across far-apart nations, regionally, across bordering countries, as well as domestically within the respective countries.
he International Day Against Trafficking in Persons which is marked every 30th July is purposed for raising awareness against trafficking, modern slavery, and advocacy for protection of the victims of trafficking.
Traditionally, parents and guardians have moral responsibilities to support, protect, provide for, and correct the children under their care, with the goal of helping them develop healthily into their adulthood. This ideal is still in place, though in practice it lingers delicately, as parenting generally becomes more and more lenient by the day.
The hopes of sustainability of every human society lie in the hands of its young people. The perfection of its innovation, sustenance of its creativity, and advancement of its prospects will survive in the future if the youth have access to the relevant know-how and are empowered to accomplish those purposes.
