Young people want to be free so they can do whatev

Young people want to be free so they can do whatever they want without their parents breathing down their necks.

Growing up comes with freedom and with it comes responsibility as well. Responsibility without freedom is stressful and freedom without responsibility is disaster so where do you draw the line?

Remember to stay responsible this weekend ✌️

Digital generation, Our generation ….
As we reflect on the commemoration of the International Day of the Girl Child, everyone needs to be reminded on the need to eliminate all forms of discrimination against girls and support them to be all they can and will to be.

With support from @happymomsnaija our fantastic volunteers and of course the Olubadan Grammar School, Orita Aperin 20 girls were provided with school bags, menstrual hygiene products and information they can use to support their learning process in school using digital tools available to them.

Our high point was the reaction from the excited girls when they realised the many possible things they could do on the internet…. These pictures made us smile, hope they make you smile too🙂.

Our first call to action on this day every year is

Our first call to action on this day every year is for people to come to the awareness that the reproductive health of a woman is as important as the general health of anybody. Women should not have to loose their lives due to unsafe abortions. They should be provided with all options including contraception and giving up the child for adoption.

The global pandemic has further added to the burden of unplanned pregnancy especially in countries with high population of poor citizens. We lend our voices to the cause of protecting women from loosing their lives to the practice of unsafe abortion in Nigeria.

Enjoy some photos of our time at @splashfm1055 discussing the subject with a consultant O&G also with us.

The provision of sexual and reproductive health an

The provision of sexual and reproductive health and rights information to young people needs to be improved and expanded using different methods—including reproductive health education to young people in schools and out of school. Young people face a lot of challenges regarding their health and don't know who to turn to. Parents, guardians and teachers in schools are still silent about sexual reproductive health education for their wards.
Our School Connect Project provides young people with 4 weeks of appropriate comprehensive sexuality health information with room for asking questions using a method that allows young people ask any questions anonymously.

Our mood this morning after internally reflecting

Our mood this morning after internally reflecting and adapting the efforts of our agribusiness team of coaches and agronomists in the last one year. We are fully psyched and ready to engage on the Partnership Project after the 3 day retreat with the team while putting Smallholder Farmers at the centre. It comes at great cost and effort. There is so much to reflect on before we head to the field for the brain, muscle and smart work! 🙃

Stay Positive, Stay Motivated!

Fun Fact!
Did you know that meeting the contraceptive needs of married and sexually active unmarried adolescents would help reduce unintended pregnancies including those that end in unsafe abortions, thereby reducing maternal deaths and ill health. 😉

It is actually cheaper to get contraceptives than care for a baby 🍼

It’s International Youth Day and the theme this

It’s International Youth Day and the theme this year is Transforming Food Systems: Youth Innovation for Human and Planetary Health”. Our effort as an organisation to make sure that youths are linked and introduced to the food systems in Nigeria continues.

The food production sector in Nigeria is in dire need of young people who can deploy new innovations for on-farm and off-farm opportunities. We have been part of implementation of the OYE (Opportunities in Youth Employment) training for youths in Nigeria. Through these activities, youths are able learning off-farm skills including Business Management, Leadership and Basic life competence therefore engaging more effectively in the workplace or private business through enhanced confidence and appropriate conduct in general.

It is designed to accommodate new learnings around the Cassava Value Chain where Smallholder Farmers are currently being sensitised, mobilised and supported to meet a guaranteed daily cassava market of about 240 tonnes. The food systems in Nigeria needs a lot of intervention, innovation and participation. Governments and non-state actors need to put policies in place to guarantee youths a seat at the table while building sustainable development for all.

Happy International Youth Day 2021

The Oyo State Judicial Panel of Inquiry began at 9

The Oyo State Judicial Panel of Inquiry began at 9:50am, on Wednesday 7th July 2021. For today, there is only one petition for further hearing on the cause list😯 And that is the petition of Mr. Alamu Toheeb VS Nigerian Police Eleyele Police Station. The petitioner was absent though, but was represented by his counsel.

From the previous adjournment date the Panel had requested the presence of one Inspector involved with this case to appear today, but the OC legal of Police informs the Panel that the Inspector, one Femi Oluwadamilare, is currently bedridden and so cannot be present today.
As both parties had already closed their cases on the previous adjournment date, the Panel decided to close the petition by adjourning it Sine-die.

At this point, the Oyo State Judicial Panel of Inquiry, exited for the day at 10:01am, just 11 minutes after resumption🙁

The story of Alfa Hamzat Ibrahim was a sad one. The petitioner, Alfa Hamzat Ibrahim, had filed a petition against the Oyo State Correctional Service Agodi Ibadan, of which they had been served severally but failed to reply or appear before the Panel. Today, the Panel decides to proceed with the petitioner's petition without the respondent party.

Alfa Hamzat Ibrahim states that he was formerly a motorcyclist, but his job had been hindered after he sustained severe injuries from being attacked by a warden of the Correctional Service. Hamzat tells the Panel that his motorcycle was first seized for no reason by the warden after he had dropped off a passenger there. He had begged the warden through a soldier who was present, but the warden refused and instead shot him with tear gas😥

Hamzat prays for a compensation of 10 million naira as he is still undergoing treatment and preparing for a surgery. He adds that since the incident, he has spent about a million naira on treatments. His petition was adjourned Sine-die by the Panel. The Panel also comforted Hamzat's wife who was present👏

The Panel exited for the day at 12:45pm.

For the new month of July, on Tuesday 6th 2021, the Oyo State Judicial Panel of Inquiry sits at 9:53am. With only three petitions on the cause list for today, it seems this Panel sitting is drawing to an end😯

The petitions of Mr. Olayinwola Oyedokun and Alfa Hamzat Ibrahim were quite interesting for today, out of the three petitions.

It was stated that Mr. Olayinwola was arrested instead of his son on the 23rd July 2020, who had allegedly stolen maize, destroyed the maize farm and solar power system of his Uncle, Mr. Sola Oyedokun. After Mr. Sola Oyedokun reported this crime to the police, the police officers visited the suspects home, but were instead attacked by Mr. Olayinwola Oyedokun, who attacked with a cutlass that resulted in the officers sustaining injuries. This was the reason Mr. Olayinwola Oyedokun was arrested on that day.
The Police officers were asked if Mr. Olayinwola Oyedokun, who is obviously an elderly person, could overpower the 4 Police officers that visited his home, and they said "Yes"😂 The officers also denied collecting bail fee from Mr. Olayinwola Oyedokun, standing on the ground that bail is free🙄 This petition was adjourned Sine-die by the Panel.
