A Gender Activist ( Issues affecting girls and women.)
It is another International Men’s Day, and I want to celebrate every man out there. This year’s theme, “Supporting Men and Boys,” talks about an area we often overlook as a society, which is the need for structured support for men’s well-being and growth. A lot of men feel forgotten and move through each day […]
To celebrate International Men’s Day, I would like to honor the men and women who are involved in advocacy for boys and men in the Nigerian space and whom I have interviewed on my blog.I wish more men would pick up the gauntlet in the area of boys and men advocacy. 1. Boys Champion by […]
In the heart of Makoko, a slum bustling with noise, Seun saw potential. Every corner was shadowed by graffiti-splashed walls, smoky food stalls, and the undeniable presence of young men who roamed in clusters. Their laughter, mingled with curses, was as sharp as the glint in their eyes—a glint hardened by a life that had […]
For a long time, most advocacy was channeled at the girl child. This caused a tilt in the balance of things as women were being empowered but men were not. At first, it felt like men were all right and didn’t need empowerment. But as time went on, we realized that some of the toxic […]
First, I want to call the world’s attention to the boychild. I put it this way because I cannot teach boys how to be boys, I am a woman after all.

I like working with experts just as much as I love practical solutions.
There is this current trend about alpha males. An alpha male is a man who is seen as the standard of what masculinity should be, especially by younger or other men. They usually seem or act better than other men. Alpha males tend to have money, confidence, and ladies flocking around them. They seem to […]
A post about a couple that went for an event trended on Twitter some time ago because the woman served herself but didn’t serve her husband. People said different things. Many people blamed the wife for eating without making sure her husband had food to eat. They saw her as irresponsible, uncaring and some might […]
Gender advocacy is an all-encompassing push for a change in the narrative. It seeks to liberate men and women from the shackles of the unrealistic expectations and stereotypes that patriarchy expects them to live up to. Girl child advocacy, particularly the area of leadership and shattering glass ceilings, is a course that I am passionate […]
Gender advocacy has always been personal for me. I started advocacy because growing up, I had a lot of questions about my identity and about the stereotypes I saw in the society. It seemed like there were different sets of rules for guys and different sets of rules for girls, especially as regards career choices […]
Gender equality is something I am very passionate about. My family, friends, acquaintances, and people connected to me on the cyberspace have always been carried along in the things I do to help make this a reality. I am more or less all about educating the girl child and young women out there and empowering […]
