It’s a right day to again remind us that guys ar

It’s a right day to again remind us that guys are just as responsible for an unplanned pregnancy just as the lady! It takes two to tango they say. Riding on this, we had a session on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights with young tech enthusiasts at @theroothub in Uyo, Akwa Ibom. Our key interest was in providing them with information on options for the management of unplanned pregnancies as allowable by Nigerian law. We did this as part of activities to commemorate International Safe Abortion day.

These young adults were enthusiastic at the new information they were getting in terms of options often not heard. For every mention and information, they were quick to fact-check online with their phones. It was time well spent with the hubbers! Our gratitude to the management of The Root Hub for allowing us in their space. We also listened keenly to the pitch from some of them on how to use the online space to allow young people anonymously access information like the one we provided. Potentially, there’s a collaboration happening soon. Yay!

Every day, variations of FGM are performed on wome

Every day, variations of FGM are performed on women and girls across the world — a procedure that in some communities amounts to nothing less than a human rights violation. In many countries, including #Nigeria, FGM is still practised largely because communities believe it helps keep girls chaste.

Our team was recently onboarded during the 3-day inception meeting with other youth-focused CSOs to partner with @UNICEFNigeria to prevent and arrest FGM trends in southwestern Nigeria. Our scope covers #Oyo and #Ogbomoso on the Movement for Good to End FGM Project. To ensure successful project implementation at the grassroots level, we will be working closely with our project assistants resident in Oyo and Ogbomoso to support our navigation of local communities there.

With support from UNICEF and the State Ministry of Women Affairs, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Youth and also the National Primary Health Care Development Agency, we hope to create a lasting impact in the campaign to end female genital mutilation in this generation.

The #YouthEndFGM campaign to #EndFGM with support

The #YouthEndFGM campaign to #EndFGM with support from @YouthHubAfrica and @AfricanYouthCommission is gaining grounds in #Kwara, #Imo, #Ebonyi, #Ekiti, and #Kaduna with road transporters being reached with publicity materials on why FGM needs to end.

Thanks to our volunteers in those states, we also spoke with transporters, reached students and also engaged people in the parks. We also got them to sign the petition asking heads of government across Africa to act decisively to end FGM in their countries.

Female Genital Mutilation is prohibited according to the #VAPP Act. It is punishable by imprisonment of four years and/or a fine of N200,000 or both. Soon, we will share stories and lessons from the field but for now, enjoy the pictures!

According to Nigerian Security Tracker, over 350 p

According to Nigerian Security Tracker, over 350 people were killed between April 2014 and May 2022 during 2015 election violence incidents recorded in 34 states, including the FCT. We believe in free and fair elections and strive to make them happen. To achieve this, we are partnering with NIGAWD for the Vote Not Fight Campaign to spread word about the dangers of violence during elections and tell people to avoid it.

With our state team committee members, we paid an advocacy visit to the Oyo State SouthWest Chairman of ACCOMORAN to inform him about the “Vote Not Fight” campaign, strategies being put in place and to ensure that Tricyclists and Motorcycle riders abstain from being tools of violence during the forthcoming elections. We were welcomed warmly by this labour group.

One step at a time, we are achieving progress and bettering the society. #VoteNotFight #ElectionNoBeWar #SouthWest #2023Elections #Governance #Elections #OyoState #Accomoran

That moment when we walked our research assistants

That moment when we walked our research assistants on the State of Girls Education project through our expectations on the field and the various bits of the fieldwork they need to understand. Drawn from 16 Local Government Areas across Oyo State, we are confident of their capacity and excited at their interest in the task.

On this, we will be working closely with the state government through the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. Akwa Ibom, hopefully, is next! We eagerly look forward to the outcome and impact from this project especially as it affects the girl child in junior and senior secondary school in #Oyo State.

It’s Motivation Monday they say! But we are doin

It’s Motivation Monday they say! But we are doing more than that today. Through our partners, @karisandeleos and NBC, we are empowering over 150 females in Oyo State on basic business and enterprise skills. It was good seeing the excitement on their faces as the 5-day event started this morning.

Today, we answered questions on why women need to have bank accounts opened. We also had to provide insights on how to manage issues of gender-based violence at home and in their community and appropriate government agencies to call for help.

The day is still unfolding. It has been fun sharing PowerPoint slides with a mix of Yoruba language with them and facilitating the sessions in Yoruba and Pidgin English. The recycling session is now ongoing and it’s a first for several of them learning about the magic they can do with the Cocacola PET and can products!

Brainstorming is the process by which ideas are cr

Brainstorming is the process by which ideas are created to solve a problem. It's a strategic tool that helps us think outside the box and come up with innovative solutions to problems we may not have thought of before. This is our approach at Onelife when we write proposals or when coming up with ideas for our work.

Brainstorming doesn't just help you solve problems; it helps you think more clearly, better understand others' needs and motivations, and stay focused on the task at hand.

We learnt this during our weekly staff development meeting and one of the key things we took away is that there is no wrong answer or suggestion but little sense here and there makes a great idea.

Building a professional network should be everyone

Building a professional network should be everyone's goal no matter what profession you belong, formal or informal.

During our Staff Development session today, we learned the importance of building a network of people who will help us in our career and who can also help us when we need it. We also learned that by giving back to our networks, we are contributing to their growth, which in turn makes them better for us all.

Our Mondays is also a time for brainstorming on new ideas and new projects to embark on. We are excited about what we will be doing to provide skill for young people in #Asejire community in the coming weeks. Watch this space.

👆👆This right here is what nobody will tell y

👆👆This right here is what nobody will tell you about FGM. We've all heard the arguments for FGM: "My mom did it, and she's fine." Or, "It was done to me, and I'm fine."
We're here to tell you that these statements are not true.

FGM can have lasting effects on women's lives, from their mental health to their physical health. It takes a toll on girls as they grow up—and most of us won't even know what that means until we're older.

But we know how much power we have when we stand together. We can make sure this harmful practice is left behind for good, and promote good cultures instead of harmful ones. Let's work together to make sure our generation has better futures than our parents' did!

At 24 years old, Linet Chepkorir is one of 47 fema

At 24 years old, Linet Chepkorir is one of 47 female politicians in Kenya to be elected to the National Assembly. In her words: "I don't have money, I've just graduated."

These two statements cannot earn you a position in Nigeria's political space. We need to change the narrative about politics in Nigeria and make it more accessible for young people who have drive and passion but don't have the resources to enter politics.

Nigeria must learn from Kenya if we are going to have inclusive government—and we need it NOW! Young people should be able to vie for a political position without having to spend millions of naira and having godfathers behind them.

It's about representation—the ability for women and other marginalized groups to participate at all levels of society through fair elections!
We are happy for Linet and we hope to have many more Linets in Nigeria and Africa too.

It is important to take care of our mental health,

It is important to take care of our mental health, so that you can have a productive day at work. Staying focused and productive is important when you have a challenging workload. Wherever possible, eliminate distractions that can make it difficult to stay on task. That includes spending too much time looking at your smartphone before meetings or leaving work half-finished, instead of taking breaks between tasks.

Here are some tips from our Monday employee development meeting to help you focus and remain calm during this week: Clear your space, identify your distractions, take short breaks to stretch limbs and mind. Stay stress free this week.
