Today, as the world marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism, I join every voice calling for a society where women and girls can live, learn, work, and thrive without fear. Violence whether physical, emotional, economic, or digital has no place in any community that seeks justice and humanity. As lawyers, parents, leaders, and citizens, we carry a solemn responsibility to stand against every form of abuse and to support systems that protect survivors and uphold their dignity. Over the years, I have witnessed the resilience of women and girls across different communities, and I have also seen the transformative impact of legal awareness, support structures, and collective action. This is why we must continue to strengthen access to justice, amplify voices that often go unheard, and build a culture where respect is non negotiable. May we all commit beyond these 16 days to creating homes, workplaces, and institutions where safety is assured and humanity is honoured. Violence diminishes us all. Protecting women and girls strengthens us all.

Today, I thank God for 60 years of grace, growth, and purpose. I am grateful for the journey, the lessons, the people, and the privilege to serve. Here’s to a new chapter of impact, peace, and deeper wisdom. Happy Birthday to me. #GratefulHeart #ProjectBar #Aarenation #AareOlumuyiwaAkinboroSAN

Today, we celebrate the men whose lives are defined not by power, but by purpose; not by titles, but by the quiet impact they make every day. On this International Men’s Day, I honour all men who choose responsibility over excuses, character over applause, and integrity over convenience. Men who lead with empathy, who support their families, who build their communities, and who stand as pillars of strength without losing their humanity. Our society thrives when men embrace values that uplift, respect, accountability, compassion, mentorship, courage, and service. These virtues do not make a perfect man; they make a present one. And today, we celebrate presence, in our homes, in our professions, and in our nation. To every man striving to be better, doing their best with what they have, carrying silent burdens, or showing up even when no one sees you, you matter, and your effort is felt. Happy International Men’s Day. May we continue to build a society where men are encouraged to grow, to lead with grace, and to leave behind a legacy of goodness.

Weekends have a funny way of reminding us that lawyers are human too. After a long week of briefs, filings, and endless phone calls, I finally sat still this morning and thought: A lawyer’s role goes beyond advocacy, it includes nation building. And sometimes nation building starts with rest, reflection, and a good cup of tea. May your Saturday bring a little peace, a little laughter, and the clarity we often miss between Monday and Friday. #WeekendBlues #ProjectBar #Aarenation #AareOlumuyiwaAkinboroSAN #WeekendVibes

In the first session of today's training at the Federal University of Kashere, Kemi Busari (@kemi_busari) admonished the participants to be very inquisitive and read broadly while generating story ideas because their own stories can seek to add more context to an already written story.

DUBAWA, in partnership with @NEDemocracy, commences a 2-day workshop for Media Literacy Institutions in Nigeria today.

Participants from the @NOA_Nigeria, @FMINONigeria and @inecnigeria will learn key skills in understanding the information ecosystem, fact-checking, media literacy, and tackling multimedia misinformation.

This week, our @CampReporterAFR team is in Federal University Kashere in Gombe state to train student journalists. Over the next four days, the students will be engaged in immersive sessions designed to enhance their knowledge and skills in media and journalism. This leg of the campus journalism training will mark the 40th of such trainings in our effort to raise the next generation of sound and ethical journalists in West Africa. Follow @CampReporterAFR for more updates on the training throughout the week!

Hey there! The Media in Gender project of @CJIDAfrica is creating awareness on the need for the provision and subsidization of menstrual products. Kindly join the conversation and share your thoughts on the issue by participating in the poll below.👇

Should the government subsidize the prices of menstrual products?

I totally agree with this. What is your take ?

@thefavourbello I just lay on my back and look up at the ceiling and yeah thoughts begin to roll in.

Tell me you're a writer without telling me you're a writer I'll go first. I stare at the empty screen every time 😂. Most times, I'm processing in my head the first sentence of my introduction. Once I get back it right, I could write a blog post without a pause. You?
