From digital assets now being taxable to relief for low-income earners and small businesses, the Tax Reform Acts will reshape how nearly every Nigerian earns, spends, and invests.⁠

This Minority is No Longer a Tiny Island #OnSite⚡⁠

This Minority is No Longer a Tiny Island #OnSite⚡⁠
⁠
Growing up, Nwanne Agwu was mesmerised by the effeminate grace of the Egedege dance troupe he watched on television. That early fascination shaped his understanding of identity in a society where such expressions are often fraught and difficult to name. In this reflection, Agwu traces that journey, from childhood wonder to the challenges, negotiations, and growth of living as an effeminate man in Nigeria.⁠

Today, in 1946, Stephen Biko was born. #RPUBLCHist

Today, in 1946, Stephen Biko was born. #RPUBLCHistory⏳⁠
⁠
Stephen Biko was at the forefront of the grassroots anti-apartheid campaign known as the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM) during the late 1960s and 1970s. Now, nearly eight decades later, the fight against prejudice in South Africa continues, and this time, it's black Africans against other black Africans.⁠
⁠
In August 2024, the Miss South Africa 2024 pageant was held at the SunBet Arena in Pretoria, where Chidimma Adetshina, one of the contestants having Nigerian roots, was forced to withdraw after online harassment led authorities to investigate her citizenship; something no other contestant faced.⁠
⁠
Adenike Fapohunda writes that Adetshina's 'Nigerian-ness' made her the newest face of the Nigeria–South Africa cultural war. She contrasts Adetshina's treatment with Udeme Okon, who, also of Nigerian heritage, won gold for South Africa in the 400-meter race at the World Athletics Championships in Peru, held in August 2024 and was celebrated by the same minister who led the xenophobic campaign against Adetshina. The investigation revealed Adetshina's mother may have committed identity fraud, which xenophobes used as vindication against all Nigerians. Few spared thought for Adetshina, who had always believed she was South African-born and raised.⁠
⁠
Fapohunda argues that Adetshina's rejection reflects South Africa's rigid post-apartheid conception of black womanhood that excludes those who differ by ethnicity or nationality.⁠

Today in 1929, British colonial officers killed more than ten women during the Aba Women's War. #RPUBLCHistory⏳⁠
⁠
Nearly a century later, Nigerian women are still fighting for political representation, but this time, the battle is against their own government. In 1979, Janet Akinrinade and Adenike Ebun Oyagbola became Nigeria's first female federal ministers. Women's political participation peaked at 6.4 per cent in 2011. Today? Just 3.7 per cent of Senate seats and 4.4 per cent of House seats are held by women, placing Nigeria in the bottom ten globally.⁠
⁠
Ayomide Ladipo traces this steep decline despite decades of gender policies and millions in funding. The author exposes how 'women's empowerment' has become a superficial tokenism: governors distributing 80,000 goats to women and labelling it 'economic intervention', while billions are allocated for three-day hairdressing training sessions with N50,000 grants. ⁠
⁠
Ladipo writes that the government implements quotas for educationally less-developed states but rejects them for women, revealing a deliberate choice to maintain male dominance. 15 years after the National Gender Policy was developed, the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs acknowledges that it still lacks basic data to measure women's inclusion. Ladipo warns that the time is now for civil society and media actors to take action to reverse some of these harmful beliefs and practices. She says: 'Real power is never given—it's taken.'⁠

Today, in 1958, Burkina Faso became a republic. #RPUBLCHistory ⏳⁠
⁠
67 years later, its current head of state, Captain Ibrahim Traoré has cast himself as Thomas Sankara’s heir, expelling French forces and promoting cultural sovereignty. His anti-Western stance resonates across a region exhausted by Françafrique and failed counterterrorism. But the reality behind the revolutionary rhetoric, Nicholas Kimbele writes, is complex. Jihadist territory has expanded under his rule, Russia has replaced France militarily, and democratic elections remain blocked. The Alliance of Sahel States he formed with Mali and Niger, lacks ECOWAS’ democratic enforcement mechanisms, instead legitimizing authoritarian consolidation. The central question is: does Traoré’s anti-imperialism represent genuine pan-Africanism, or merely reactionary sentiment that isolates Burkina Faso without offering viable alternatives?⁠
