The ₦30 Billion That Sat Idle While People Suffered I am struggling to make sense of this. There was a deadly explosion in Ibadan. Real people died. Families lost homes, livelihoods, loved ones. This wasn’t some abstract policy issue. It was grief, shock, and displacement in

Life doesn’t really restart in January. We often speak about a new year as though it carries some special power to interrupt patterns or magically alter outcomes. But life rarely works that way. Most of what we experience in any given year is a continuation of habits formed,

This weekend, our @DubawaFR team are on the ground in Côte d’Ivoire and Guinea, countering disinformation around two critical elections. In a period of democratic regression across the region, these moments matter. Grateful to West Africa Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP) for
