Standing in solidarity with my fellow young Nigerian sisters and brothers who are calling for institutional reform. I am calling on all parties to protect their rights and address the needs of all young people. Let’s follow their leadership.

When Nigerians are tired, they can actually mobilize in numbers. I’m so proud of our voice, strength & resilience. Just look at the #EndSarsProtests, we are sending a strong message. Now, consistency is one of the greatest tools of activism, we must stay on it till they #EndSARS.

Leaders say “young people are leading climate action”. But are they even listening to them?

@antonioguterres
I am disappointed with the results of #COP25. The international community lost an important opportunity to show increased ambition on mitigation, adaptation & finance to tackle the climate crisis. But we must not give up, and I will not give up.
