Family / Four Reasons Why Child Marriage Affects Us All by Samuellawale(m): 12:37am On Feb 10, 2022 |
Our ambitious Sustainable Development Goals agenda serves to create progress that will improve lives across the world. But every year, 15 million girls are locked away from a better life. Child marriage is standing in the way of progress towards many of our 2030 Global Goals. For as long as child marriage continues to exist, so will poverty and instability, violence against women and girls, high global maternal mortality rates, and an ever widening educational gap between the poorest and wealthiest nations. Here’s why: 1. Child marriage traps girls and their families in a cycle of poverty SDG1 : No Poverty and SDG2: No Hunger Women who are employed reinvest 90% of their earnings back into their families, lifting themselves, their children, their siblings and relatives out of poverty. But when a girl is married as a child, this can often mean the end of her education, and her ability to become financially independent. One girl’s potential to lift an entire family, and even a community, out of poverty disappears. This is happening millions of times over. As the inter-generational cycle of poverty continues, youth unemployment and economic instability can lead to migration, conflict and violence. 2. Child marriage is linked to high global rates of maternal mortality SDG3: Good Health Teenage birth rates are highest where child marriage is most prevalent. When girls become pregnant before their bodies are ready, they are at high risk of complications during pregnancy and childbirth, which endanger the life of both mother and child. In fact, the risk of maternal mortality is highest for adolescent girls under 15 years old and complications in pregnancy and childbirth are a leading cause of death among adolescent girls in developing countries, leaving behind vulnerable orphaned children. As well as increased vulnerability to sexual and domestic violence, survivors of the trauma of premature childbirth are at risk of long term and debilitating health complications, such as obstetric fistula, compromising their ability to work or return to school, while further stretching under resourced health systems. 3. Child brides are more likely to contract HIV/AIDS SDG3: Good Health Adolescent girls are disproportionately affected by HIV. Girls who are married as adolescents to men who have had many previous sexual partners are even more likely to contract HIV due to a lack of sexual and reproductive health information, and a lack power to negotiate safe sex or refuse sex. Often they are subject to partner violence, which further increases their risk of contracting HIV. The tragedy of HIV/AIDS for girls comes full circle as AIDS is a leading cause of death amongst adults. Orphans, and girls from child-headed households are at higher risk of early marriage as they struggle to support themselves. In these desperate situations, when a girl cannot afford food or shelter, let alone school fees, entering into an early marriage can sometimes be seen as the only way to survive. 4. Child marriage is a major barrier to achieving gender equality SDG5: Gender Equality Girls who are married as children are more likely to experience domestic violence, and have a lower status in society, because too often child brides are denied their right to pursue education, employment or entrepreneurial opportunities. With every child bride we lose a future teacher, doctor, scientist, entrepreneur or political leader. The cost to all of us is tremendous, and we pay the price in the form of inefficient accumulation of capital and slower economic growth, amounting to trillions of dollars for developing countries by 2030. As an SDG Advocate, we charge each and everyone of us to join us together and fight against this abuse on girls child right in Africa 2 Likes 1 Share |
Politics / An Open Letter To All Apostles Of Fake News- Deji Ola by Samuellawale(m): 11:07am On Feb 16, 2021 |
Pleasant day to all my people, I have been monitoring with great interest the recent happenings in the state, and I am left with no other option than to write this open letter just to correct some anomalies. To say that I am not happy is an understatement hence the need to swiftly make my position known regarding how people spread fake news in the state and it’s negative effects on our well being. Before going further, I will like to advise our people not to allow themselves to be used to fan or perpetuate the embers of discord and disaffection under any guise as this is tantamount to playing into the hands of egocentric Politicians who are hell-bent on taking power by all means. We do not need to consult any oracle to know the game as it’s visible to the blind and audible to the deaf. However, I will try within my ability not to colourize this letter with any political justification, I will also deem it fit to call it the exact way it is so that it will serve as deterrent to others who are still warming up to toll this destructive lane. Do I need to take our people on memory lane? Insecurity in the country is a perrenial challenges and lately, it depend on how we handle media our activities as any fake reportage has the ability to ignite conflict in our community in a twinkle of an eye. Nigeria no doubt is presently into forced marriage as a result of 1914 amalgamation and until we are set to review this process, no amount of ethnic crisis can bring about secession nor restructuring. Nigeria is known to be multiethnics, multilingual, multireligion, multicultural, multipolitical entity which is volatile to any form of fake news. Can we over emphasize the havoc fake news has caused our dear state? One will ask, what will people stand to gain in spreading fake news? Should we say some people are hiding under disguise of “I hate Seyi Makinde” and I love my people so as to fan ember of discords? Well, it’s pertinent to advise everyone not to take Governor Seyi Makinde leniency for granted. As good as socal media is, those using it to propagate fake news need to be called to order, we can not continue to look away as if all is well. I am also aware that some people are feeding fat on this act but one need to always think of posterity. The recent crisis in Shasha market was an eyesore and it is still fresh in my memory as I can not explain the negative effect of fake news in that incident. My condolences to those who loss their loved one in the ugly incident. May God give them fortitude to bear the huge damage. Regrettably, While people were busy ensuring that peace reign in the market, some were busy propagating lies, fake news on different social media platfoms with different narrations. This later resulted to total breakdown of law and we all aware of the end of the story. Where did we get it wrong ? As if this is not enough, as I was driving through Bodija market on Monday, February 15, 2021, I decided to park and get some fruits, durng the process, I checked my phone and I saw a breaking news with the headline; “Bodija is burning, Yorubas are killing Hausas”, I paused and asked myself, is there another Bodija market somewhere aside the one located in Ibadan North Local Government of the state? No doubt, it was another attempt to cause voilence and glory to God for arresting the situation, it would have been another story by now. The question is, what do we all stand to gain in this evil act? Can a state undergoing civil war enjoy dividends of democracy? Can election or any other meaningful economic activity hold in such State? I will advise power-hungry Politicians to hold on till 2023 before playing their cards. While doing this, they should ensure that our peaceful coexistence is not jeopardized. My advise also goes to all social media users, we should always validate and revalidate our source of news as circulating story or reports of uncertain or doubtful truth can be counterproductive. We should not make ourselves available for those who always think about themselves alone and not our well being nor the state. GSM is the Sheriff in charge now, he deserves our total cooperation to take the state to the well deserved destination. I want to totally agree with Martin Luther King on his assertion that: “Violence is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding: it seeks to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends up defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers.” Deji Ola writes from the ancient city of Ibadan

Religion / Billy Graham Devotional 13 June 2020] Topic: Believe In The Holy Spirit by Samuellawale(m): 9:20am On Jun 14, 2020 |
…I [have] raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee… — Romans 9:17 Walter Knight tells the story about a little boy who had recently received Christ. “Daddy, how can I believe in the Holy Spirit when I have never seen Him?” asked Jim. “I’ll show you how,” said his father, who was an electrician. Later Jim went with his father to the power plant where he was shown the generators. “This is where the power comes from to heat our stove and to give us light. We cannot see the power, but it is in that machine and in the power lines,” said the father. “I believe in electricity,” said Jim. “Of course you do,” said his father, “but you don’t believe in it because you see it. You believe in it because you see what it can do. Likewise, you can believe in the Holy Spirit because you can see what He does in people’s lives when they are surrendered to Christ and possess His power.” Prayer for the day: Make my heart completely devoid of self so that it can be filled with Your Spirit, Lord. Written by Billy Graham, Founder of Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA). BGEA exists to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ by every effective means and to equip the church and others to do the same. |
