[The Sexuality Blog]: For women in abusive relationships, access to contraception could cost you your life

When we wrote about the illegal practice of stealthing that is currently gaining popularity in homosexual and heterosexual relationships, little did we realise, this was only an augury of a far more disturbing phenomenon, the violation of women’s reproductive rights in relationships as a method of control for their partners. There is a whole discussion that... Read More

The Film Blog: This criticism of Nollywood on TheNakedConvos actually proves the point

So, this was a good-intentioned piece. Our problem is this: the problem we have with pieces like this – they don’t reflect the facts. They are lazy.

The Church Blog: Bauchi wants to start taxing churches and mosques. We agree

Bauchi’s government has a convoluted policy on taxation of religious organizations, but we agree with the spirit of its decision.

[The Legislative Blog]: We’d like to see Dino Melaye come to terms with his troubles

Just so all of this can be easy on him and the rest of us. It’s okay to try to come across as unfazed by it all but Senator Dino Melaye reeks of low self-esteem and desperation at this point. It hasn’t been two months since he was at the heart of a major certificate... Read More

The Film Blog: We remember Niyi Akinmolayan’s tweet storm on AMAA last year

The Media Blog: Lai Mohammed says he is going to fight fake news, and we roll our eyes
