My heart started racing. I slowly laid my head on his chest, desperate to hear a heartbeat, but there was only silence. I panicked and woke my mother-in-law. She rushed over and picked him up, pinching his feet and checking for a pulse in his neck, but his little body didn't move. With one look at her face, I knew my child was gone. My screams woke my husband. He jumped up from his chair, shocked and confused.

My water broke last night around 11:00 PM. I was in severe labor pain, and my husband quickly rushed me to the nearest hospital. a medical team attended to me immediately. My delivery was much quicker than I expected, and I was so thankful. This was my first baby, and I had heard so many scary stories about how long and painful labor could be. I thanked God that it didn't take much time. However, immediately after my baby was born, the nurse laid him in the bassinet without checking his breathing or clearing his airways properly. She was busy on her phone & didn't notice that his skin was turning a slight shade of blue. I was so weak that I didn't even have the energy to hold him, despite how much I had longed for that moment.

The @NBS_Nigeria has commenced nationwide data collection for #MICS7 in collaboration with @UNICEF_Nigeria. In the FCT, 27-year-old Deborah Adebisi answering questions while holding her 2-year-old daughter, Eliza, as an enumerator, uses the CAPI to collect accurate data.

Nigeria is preparing for MICS7, led by NBS with support from @UNICEF_Nigeria. Teams are conducting CAPI field tests after intensive training and standardized questionnaire review. Nationwide data collection begins Dec 3 to generate quality data on child rights and benefit.

No child should have to grow up without a toilet! In every community and house, Nusaiba and other children want safe, clean toilets. They do not want open defecation to steal their childhoods.

@savndaniel Dear Lord🥲

I am just returning from the Custodial Center. I was meant to re-interview just one person: remember the guy that got sentenced to death for defending himself against two armed robbers that attacked him? Yes, today as scheduled for his further interview. However, sequel to the said interview, the Officer in Charge, whilst on soft patrol, reached out to me and commended me for taking conscious effort to decongest the custodial center under his care. He was most impressed. So, whilst at it, inmates without lawyers were referred to me. I handful of them and some of those cases are worth sharing, after spending more than 4 hours [t]here. 1. Interviewed an inmate, let us called her EUO. - She is 18 years old. - Her father died when she was still a child (she is told). - She hawks "agidi" and lives with her grandmother. - Accused of armed robbery. - She was arrested sometime in August 2024 alongside three men between ages 45 - 49 - all accused of armed robbery. - When the police arrested, they tortured her to the point that she confessed to be an armed robber and wielding a gun. -But at the Custodial center and during interview, she opened up that she never did any of those things: that it because: 1. the hung her upside down; 2. used lighter to burn her vagina; 3. tortured her until she could no longer endure the torture she received. - One of the suspects arrested with her, who flatly denied being an armed robber, subsequently died at the police correctional center, owing to the torture meted on him at the Police Station. - She was asked to produce 150k for her bail at the police station. But since she could produce the said 150k, she subsequently remanded. - It is her case that she was prevented by the police from reaching her grandmother at all material time. Her family is not aware of her whereabouts as I make this tweet. I will be representing her pro bono.

If we want a generation of girls ready for the future, we must help them to develop the skills they’ll need. Investing in young girls builds strong economies, inclusive and vibrant societies.
