Tribute to Women Around the World on International Women’s Day Today is a remarkable day—a day when the world pauses to celebrate the achievements, strength, hardiness, and tireless spirit of women everywhere. International Women’s Day (IWD) is not just a commemoration; it is a powerful movement that accentuates the continuous struggle for gender equality, empowerment, and recognition. As we celebrate, we honor the groundbreaking—women who have shattered barriers and paved the way for progress. Women like Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti (1900-1978), a fearless activist who championed women’s rights and democracy in Nigeria.

Obiageli Ezekwesili (1963), an advocate for good governance and education, has been at the forefront of economic transformation in Africa.

THE MARGINALIZATION OF WOMEN IN NIGERIAN POLITICS: THE CASE OF NATASHA AKPOTI-UDUAGHAN AND THE STRUGGLE FOR INCLUSION By Daniel Okonkwo Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation, has long struggled with gender parity in politics despite women constituting nearly half of its population. Women have the constitutional right to equality and non-discrimination, yet their political representation remains abysmally low. The continued marginalization of women in Nigerian politics starkly contrasts with international democratic standards, raising concerns about fairness, inclusion, and Nigeria’s global political standing. Women’s rights are fundamental human rights, encompassing equal opportunities in education, employment, governance, and political participation. The Nigerian Constitution and various international treaties to which Nigeria is a signatory guarantee women’s right to participate in politics. However, these rights are often obstructed by societal norms, patriarchal structures, and po...

Tribute to Sound Sultan: A Brother, Friend, and Musical Legend Olanrewaju Abdul-Ganiu Fasasi, known to the world as Sound Sultan, was more than just an artist; he was a symbol of kindness, humility, and unwavering support. For over twenty-something years, I had the privilege of knowing Sound Sultan. From the moment we met, I was struck by his warmth and generosity. He was, without a doubt, one of the nicest people I had ever encountered. Our friendship grew stronger over the years, marked by countless shared experiences and cherished memories. I was present at every significant milestone in his life, from his marriage to the joyous naming ceremonies of his children. Sound Sultan's happiness was infectious, and his celebrations felt like my own. He was a true friend who opened doors for many, including the iconic duo P Square. Their success story is incomplete without mentioning Sound Sultan, who played a pivotal role in their early days. I vividly remember the contest in Jos, where...

P-Square: A Legacy of Music, Dance, and the Need for Reconciliation Few relationships in life are as profound as the bond between twins. It is a connection built on shared experiences, mutual understanding, and an almost intuitive grasp of each other’s thoughts and emotions—what can best be described as "twins-type love." This love, evident in Peter and Paul Okoye, the legendary Nigerian duo known as P-Square, was the foundation of their artistic success. Their music, electrifying dance moves, and undeniable synergy captivated audiences worldwide. P-Square's dance style was revolutionary, integrating elements of Western pop culture while infusing it with African rhythms. They created an instantly recognizable movement, one that was imitated across the continent. From their signature steps in "Personally" to the electrifying choreography in "Alingo," their artistry was as much about visuals as it was about sound. Their influence on African pop culture r...
