I've spent decades advocating for women's political participation. The barriers haven't disappeared, they've evolved. Our coalition's open letter to political parties outlines concrete steps for gender inclusive primaries in 2027. In light of this, we respectfully appeal to all political parties to urgently: . Ensure transparent, inclusive, and violence free party primaries; . Create deliberate pathways for increased women’s representation on party ballots; . Introduce and implement gender quotas within party constitutions and leadership structures at ward, local government, state, and national levels; . Empower National Women Leaders within party structures with meaningful authority and participation in decision-making processes; . Reduce excessive nomination form fees and other financial barriers that disproportionately disadvantage women aspirants; . Publicly commit to affirmative measures that support women candidates ahead of the 2027 elections; . Prevent the use of consensus arrangements and zoning processes as tools for excluding women from contesting; . Promote equal treatment and fair opportunities for female aspirants during screenings, consultations, and delegate engagements. We also urge party leaders to rise above narrow political interests and place national development at the center of their decisions. Increasing women’s participation in governance is not merely a gender issue; it is fundamental to strengthening democracy, improving representation, and advancing national progress. @BigBadReni @SavvyRinu @kikimordi @faree_for_real @AishaYesufu @obyezeks

I really think redistribution of resources would do this country a lot of good. How can a police station run on 30k monthly? Meanwhile legislators enjoy a monthly windfall. Misplaced priority.

The list is endless, body shaming and ridiculing with unkind words those you disagree with is cruel. Stop cyber bullying who are as human as you. We point at our leaders, and our celebrities but what about us? How perfect are you? And what have you done for Nigeria?

He who alleges must prove. I hope Sen Natasha has evidence at the end of the day, because sexual harassment is difficult to prove. @Reggypanache @bettyabah @Betty_Dibiah1 @nguvucollective @ImpactNewspape1 @Alaba_adeyemi11 @daily_trust @Olumupa

THE CHANGING WORLD ORDER - WHERE DO WE STAND? "If the sequence of the rise and fall of empires over the last 500 years is to be believed, I think we’re on the verge of a new world order. The signs are there.... The question is - Where is Africa and Nigeria in all these realignments? What is our strategic interest as others position themselves for what is to come?
