Governor @seyimakinde has declared for Nigeria's 2027 presidency, but the opposition field keeps getting more crowded. This report examines whether the country's opposition is preparing to defeat the ruling party or preparing to divide votes again: developmentdiaries.com/makinde-joins-…

The worrying part is that the @HQNigerianArmy's arrest of civilians is not supposed to feel normal inside a constitutional democracy. This report looks into the unlawful arrest of @Justice_Crack and what authorities must do now: developmentdiaries.com/nigerias-army-…

Armed @officialEFCC operatives recently stormed a teaching hospital in Akwa Ibom, raising serious questions about patient safety inside healthcare facilities. This report explains why many Nigerians believe that the operation crossed a dangerous line: developmentdiaries.com/efcc-operation…

A handcuffed man begged to speak before being shot by a @PoliceNG officer. If the laws are clear in Nigeria, why do these killings keep happening? This report traces the pattern and what must change: developmentdiaries.com/handcuffed-and…

The @officialABAT administration recently announced the exit of finance minister Wale Edun without any clear explanation, deepening the suspicion that power, not public interest, is doing the real work behind the scenes. Read more: developmentdiaries.com/nigeria-financ…

A recent @CIVICUSalliance report says attacks on journalists in #Ghana are rising, and 'false news' laws are being used. What changed, and why is no one saying anything? 👇 developmentdiaries.com/journalist-att…

Zambia has ended bail for sexual offences, but for many women and girls, the major concern is whether this law will protect them in practice or remain another strong policy that struggles to reach those who need it most. This report explains why: 👇developmentdiaries.com/zambia-sexual-…

@JohnnAndah's piece today examines the Horn of Africa hunger emergency as a policy and governance failure, and who is accountable for the gap between warning and action. developmentdiaries.com/somalia-malnut…

@UkpanahUduak @biolakazeem Were you the one who killed him?

@biolakazeem Ekoku played 3 games for England and received pension till he died. Just 3 games only and got pension for life.

Victor Agali played 12 games for Nigeria and over 318 games for clubs yet he expects Nigeria/FIFA to keep paying him money in perpetuity while not having same expectations from his many clubs. Is it not amazing?

@ChimamandaReal's family alleges denial of oxygen, improper handling, and excessive sedation. @Euracare_ denies wrongdoing, while @followlasg says it is investigating. developmentdiaries.com/how-chimamanda…

Just days before dismantling Algeria, the @NGSuperEagles were refusing to train over unpaid bonuses. Now that we’re punching the air in celebration, here are the hard questions we must not forget to ask. developmentdiaries.com/nigeria-beat-a…

Happy Birthday to our Board Chair, Mr Femi Aderibigbe @Arafemiloye . Today, we celebrate another year added and the steady leadership, clarity of vision, and deep commitment you bring to ImpactHouse.

How do you explain a country where people are shot or detained simply for demanding their voices be heard? developmentdiaries.com/cameroon-inves…

We recently had the honour of engaging the amazing team at the Centre for Girls’ Education (CGE) @centre4girlsed through our Advocacy and Policy Influencing Programme.

KWAM 1 allegedly tried to board with alcohol, ignored security, splashed it on an officer, resisted the pilot & blocked the plane like it was a concert stage. @FAAN_Official and @NigeriaCAA, the public deserves answers, not cover-ups. Read more here: developmentdiaries.com/kwam-1-and-cel…

1/4 We strongly condemn the @NigerStateNG Governor’s (@HonBago) directive to shut down Badeggi FM 90.1 in Bida. This is an unlawful act and a threat to press freedom in #Nigeria. #PressFreedom impacthouse.org.ng/niger-states-d…

Democracy must never be held hostage by threats or intimidation. Read the full statement: impacthouse.org.ng/governor-okpeb…

1. A public retraction and apology from @m_akpakomiza. 2. Investigation by the @PoliceNG and @OfficialDSSNG, and 3. Urgent action from the @NhrcNigeria to protect citizens' rights.

The Edo State Governor's (@m_akpakomiza) remarks against @PeterObi are reckless and dangerous to Nigeria’s democracy. Over the weekend, we joined @accountlabng and @KDI_ng to issue a joint civil society statement demanding:

Nigeria’s inflation is ‘down’ and its GDP is ‘up’. But on the ground, the gap between economic statistics and lived realities keeps widening. This report, bit.ly/4kQc5V1, examines how the economy appears to be ‘recovering’ on paper, while citizens still face hunger.
