In Nigeria, 59% of women aged 15 to 49 are anemic.
This is one of the highest rates globally. Causes include iron loss during menstruation and pregnancy, poor nutrition, and infectious diseases. Addressing anemia is essential for improving women’s health and productivity.

Last week, over 100 million people fell into poverty. Not because their lives worsened, but because the definition changed. The World Bank updated its international poverty line from $2.15 to $3.00 per day.

Nigeria’s tragedy is not only that evil exists, but that it is so unremarkable—so banal. Until the moral centre of governance is restored, reform will be cosmetic, and cruelty will remain an administrative function.

Stress and worry tend to be higher before you act.
Without action, all you can do is worry.

Male suicide rates are significantly higher than female rates worldwide. Not because men are more at risk biologically—but because they’re less likely to seek help, more likely to use lethal means, and face deep stigma around mental health.
