I spoke at the UN Human Rights Council 56th Session Side Event on the Launch of the Declaration +25, a supplement to the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders outlining standards in International Human Rights Law for the protection and promotion of rights of HRDs
#HRC56
Please Women as you go out everyday,
Take along with you these following items:
1. Pepper spray.
2. Pen or pocket knife.
3. A hammer.
4. Try to learn a martial arts/boxing skill please.
Christian sisters if you like feminist if you like don’t feminist when misogyny touches you it won’t care whether you believe in the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ
Nigeria's National Assembly decided the best way to start International Women's month is to deny Nigerian women the right to pass citizenship to their foreign husbands and deny them the right to be indigenes of their husband's states after 5 years of being together.
VAPP Act??!? The sweat, toil of Nigerian women, all the groundwork, the calling, texting, lobbying, the number of times the bill was rejected and had to be rewritten and edited?? No now
Dear lagosians, it's raining season and everywhere is flooded as you're driving remember the people walking are also human beings and you can drive without splashing water on them.
Lagosians are panic buying fuel
Fuel stations are hoarding
Transporters are hiking bus fares
Just another wonderful morning in the city of Lagos
Welcome to a new dispensation 🥂
The VAPP Act took 14 years and 3 Universal Periodic Review cycles before it was passed by the National Assembly and now 9 years after with 34 states domesticating it, legislators are seeking to repeal it
Senator Jibrin Isah, representing Kogi East, is pushing to repeal the Violence Against Persons Prohibition (VAPP) Act, claiming that the definition of consent needs further differentiation. The repeal bill has now passed its second reading.
This is the Testament that God is always good!!!
Happy Birthday Big Zu

Thé Mirabel Centre is 11 years.
11 years of providing free holistic psychosocial and medical care to survivors of rape and sexual assault
For the Last 7 years I’ve been part of this journey and the centre has been a big part of my journey.
Your GOAT is a footballer cohabiting with his baby mama - The kind of people you celebrate really says a lot about you and speaks so much of your values
I know most times it’s usually bants and jokes but I find it extremely annoying when people interact with a giveaway tweet that doesn’t need engagement.

. Grateful for the opportunity to work with other youth activists around the world and create a guide empowering young people to speak out against injustices.
Society would rather let a woman die than let her leave a bad marriage. They'd always bring up religion, children or what people will say to keep her there
NYSC had me in khaki eating bole and groundnut while walking at ojuelegba underbridge without remorse, I looked homeless and hopeless agberos were now telling me corper sorry country hard 😭😭
Omo I'm back home and staring at my certificate na me be Barrister and Solicitor of Supreme Court. It feels so unreal to be at the end of a journey that seemed like it would never end
Instead of "please leave" "don't stay in an abusive home", ask the survivor what's keeping them in that situation and actually listen, ask them what it will take to leave the situation. Don't just say "leave to live" and move on
Gained a lot of followers recently
Welcome ❤️
Kind reminder I’m Christian and feminist (read my header for more instructions)
I’m also trying to cosplay as a mysterious babe. I tweet about my waist (a lot), WNBA and other random things
Unilag's Law, their uniform etiquette is highly questionable!
Why are you dressed to class looking like a computer science student?
Wouldn't adjusting to law school standards become an herculean task when they finally get into law school?
Tomorrow is IWD and Sunday is Mothering Sunday, I don’t want to see:
how many women celebrations do we have;
you people are always celebrating;
You don’t celebrate men like that;
And all the other things you people say.
You can scroll past without commenting tbh.

One thing I dislike is when issues like this are raised everyone has words and things for receiving party (women) to do but nothing for the other side
“Do due diligence, be accountable, pray, do that do this”
Someone set out to deceive will almost always find a way to do so
