A courtesy and advocacy visit to the commissioner of Police in Osun

In the state of the living spring, where the heartbeat of community engagement resonates, our team from Refuge of Life Foundation embarked on a significant advocacy visit to the Commissioner of Police. Part of the delegation was a charismatic Program Officer (my humble self), deeply committed to governance, leadership, civic engagement, and community health. Leading the delegation was the esteemed Executive Director, Mr. Bolarinwa Olabode, whose vision propelled the NGO towards impactful initiatives. Two dedicated volunteers rounded out the group, passionate about creating positive change in their community. Our mission was clear: to strengthen the bond between the NGO and the state's security apparatus. As we stepped into the Commissioner's office, we were not just faces but ambassadors of a noble cause. The air was filled with anticipation as we aimed to acquaint the new sheriff with our foundation's ongoing endeavors. Our present project took center stage—an initiative a...

Never to be an Almajiri again.

Life as an almajiri in Kano was very tough. I could still remember how we went about in tens begging for alms and food. It’s really not a life anyone should live. I lived it years ago and could still tell exactly how it hurts; the memory of it and the hellish experiences we had  to bear. Almajiri life isn’t a life. It’s like being dead alive. I lived that life. I was ten when I decided to remove the cloak of destitution and face life squarely. It still remains the turning point in my life and the wisest decision I’d ever taken. I could still remember vividly what led me to take such a decision one afternoon. It was at Sabon Titi Kano. We were nine in number. We had trekked all the way from Bida Road. Ali, my best friend was saying something about how very unfair it was that girls were not allowed to  wander about begging as boys did. He said something about girls being lucky and fortunate because they were not subjected to the demeaning life that we lived. “But you don’t have ...

From the spectator's chair

#evridayTori 3 I have been in a team of players or sometimes working as an umpire in tough, soft, hard, light and sometimes deadly matches; but I loved it most when recently I had the opportunity to sit back, relax and watch from the seat of a VIP spectator. Players in the team have been well united for over a decade now. It is a large squad; so I may not be able to mention the number of players in the team. I wasn't prepared to play a super sub; so I won't have to get either my shirt or kits, or sit among the reserve players this time. It is a time to relax for me though, but you will soon get to know that I wrote this piece because of some rich lessons inferred from the unpredictable incidents that happened within that short period. Let me first of all briefly talk about the qualities of the team. From my observation, I realized each player  possess the ability to adapt at different positions without taking instructions from a particular coach - meaning, it is a team wit...
