Fading Voices: The Silent Death of Our Mother Tongue

By Sharafdeen Rumaitha Odunola

In today’s generation, many parents who are getting married and raising children have sadly abandoned their local languages. Instead of speaking their native tongue to their children, they prefer to communicate only in English, believing it to be a sign of class and exposure. As a result, many children grow up unable to speak or even understand their parents’ language, the very language that connects them to their roots.

It has become a common mentality in society that children who speak fluent English are seen as “rich” or “elite,” while those who speak local languages, especially Yoruba, are often tagged as “local” or “uncivilized.” This mindset is completely wrong. Teaching your children to speak your local language does not deprive them of the ability to speak English fluently. In fact, it gives them a stronger sense of identity and belonging.

Children spend most of their school hours speaking English, that’s the language of education. When they return home and continue to speak only English, how will they ever learn their native tongue? Parents must create a balance by teaching and speaking their local language at home. That way, the child will grow up bilingual, able to speak both English and their mother tongue fluently.

It’s quite disappointing that even some adults who can speak Yoruba fluently pretend not to when they are outside, as if speaking their language is something to be ashamed of. Meanwhile, the Hausa people take great pride in speaking their native language anywhere and everywhere. They never see it as a sign of backwardness but as part of their identity.

Language is not just a means of communication; it carries our culture, history, and heritage. Losing it means losing a part of who we are. It’s time Yoruba people, and indeed all Nigerians, start appreciating their languages again. Speak your language with pride. Teach it to your children. Let them know that understanding your mother tongue doesn’t make them less educated, it makes them deeply rooted and culturally rich. Our language is our identity. Let’s not trade it for false prestige.

Every Child Is a Blessing — Stop Treating the Girl Child as Less

By Sharafdeen Rumaitha Odunola

It’s truly heartbreaking that in this modern age, some people still see the girl child as less important as if being a girl makes one less human. One would think that with education, exposure, and religious understanding, society would have outgrown this backward mentality. Sadly, it still exists, even in families that should know better.

Recently, I heard a true-life story that perfectly reflects this sad reality. A young woman got married and after a year, she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Instead of joy and celebration, her mother-in-law was disappointed simply because the baby was a girl. When the woman later gave birth to her second child, who was also a girl, her mother-in-law became furious and began pressuring her son to take a second wife, claiming that his wife could not give him a “proper child.”

The husband initially promised his wife that he would not remarry, but as time went on, he gave in to the pressure and married another woman. The first wife and her daughters were constantly maltreated and looked down upon, simply because they were female. One day, the little girls, confused and heartbroken, asked their mother, “Mummy, are we not human just because we are girls?”

Their mother, though deeply hurt, kept encouraging them to stay strong. But after enduring so much pain and humiliation, she decided to leave with her daughters and return to her father’s house. Some years later, she remarried a kind man who accepted her and her children with love.

Ironically, news later reached her that her ex-husband’s new wife the one chosen because his mother wanted male children had given birth to three sons. But sadly, all three were born with sickle cell disease. The same mother-in-law who once mocked her for having girls was now running from hospital to hospital, praying for the survival of her grandsons. Meanwhile, the first wife, now happily remarried, gave birth to a healthy baby boy.

This story teaches a powerful lesson: no gender is superior or inferior. Every child, whether male or female, is a blessing from God. None of us can create a child, not even a single hair on their head, so who are we to reject what God has given? You might spend years praying for a male child and get one, only for that child to become your greatest trial in life. But the daughter you once despised could be the one who uplifts and supports you tomorrow.

Let us stop attaching value to gender and start valuing humanity. A girl is not a curse. A girl is not less. She is a blessing, a light, a gift. When we raise our daughters with love and dignity, we build stronger homes, stronger communities, and a stronger generation.

Remember: Every child is a blessing boy or girl. What matters is not the gender, but the goodness they bring into the world.

People With Disabilities Deserve Equal Rights and a Normal Life

By: Abdulazeez Hikmah

Hassan Aminu's (pseudonym) parents spent a lot of money, to the extent of selling their property, all just to return Hassan's eyes; unfortunately, all their efforts were futile, and he is destined to be a blind person. As a human being, when Hassan turned 22, he planned to find a partner to get married with.

He tried his luck with many girls, but got instant rejection from many, while many played his feelings, loved him for his money not for who he is, he was on that till his 25 when he met with Asma'u, both of them start their love journey, but where was the driver took them to?

Despite the fact that Asma'u's family is wealthier than Hassan's family, she loved him for who he is. Meanwhile there's a key that spoiled the dog's teeth.

Asma'u agreed with Hassan with a date he wants to visit her parents, since Asma'u is well known to his parents already, on the introduction day, as Hassan arrived at her compound, the embarrassment started from the gate man, addressed him as a beggar “Àwọn Madamu kò sì nílé padà wá lọ́lá (The bosses are not around, come back tomorrow)”, Hassan felt sọ bad, he couldn't tell Asma'u when she came to take him in, as if the first embarrassment was preamble.

He has not been offered a seat before Asma'u mother said, “Who is this Asma'u? Don't tell me this is who we have been expecting since morning, so I waste my whole day not going shop to make money just to see this useless blind man, God forbid, over my dead body you will marry a disability”.

Asma'u wanted to marry him but due to her family disagreement, the love journey stopped, on the introduction day, and they couldn't fuel it.

So, my question is what is disability, and why do people living with disabilities deserve to live a normal life?

The word disability is a condition that limits a person physically, mentally, or emotionally in carrying out daily activities and interacting with society. People with disabilities sometimes cannot practice as others do, and this condition can be congenital or occur later in life.

Unfortunately, people around disabilities nowadays often see them as nothing, making them feel unwanted. This treatment makes some of them shed tears. People with disabilities deserve to live in many ways because they have the right to live like every other human being. Society should stop discriminating against them.They also have dreams and feelings.

However, due to discouragement and negative attitudes, many are made to feel helpless, and this is not how things should be. They are supposed to be treated equally. Every human being has dreams.

There was a girl with a hairdressing dream, but people doubted her abilities because of her inability to hear and speak. They questioned how she would learn the job. However, her parents believed in her and took her to a hairdressing shop to learn. Whenever she passed by, people mocked her, saying she was wasting her time. She remained determined and became perfect, even before finishing her training, customers had started coming to her house to plait hair. Fortunately, she opened her own shop and continued living her life. People were surprised that she made it.

Disabilities do not stop anyone from living. There are many people in the world who are not happy with their condition, but society should make them feel accepted instead of irritated. Some parents have many children but treat the disabled one differently, refusing to send them to school, which is unfear, even religiously it's unfear.

Imagine giving birth to an imbecile, but the mother and siblings made her feel unwanted, the family denied her right. Her plate was separated from her siblings, she couldn't share bed with them, staying at home while they went to school, but sometimes she would sneak out to learn a skill. God so good she succeeded, and the family regretted their discrimination acts.

Disabilities are paying tax, acquiring a citizen certificate, possessing a voter's card, so, why the society is denying them of their rights, why can't we treat them as others.

Therefore, being disabled is just a challenge. In this life, everyone has equal rights, be it deaf, dumb, imbecile, and all people with disabilities. They are human beings who deserve respect, care, and consideration for their feelings. We should see people with disabilities as people first, not labels.

Disability is not inability.

Reporter’s Diary: When Law Closed Its Door, Mass Communication Opened a Window

By Isa Salamat Sarumi

Sometimes life takes a different turn,and that’s exactly what happened to me.

Back in 2024, I had my eyes set on Law. I had completed my two-year Diploma in Shariah and Common Law,and was confident that Direct Entry into Law at KWASU would be a smooth journey. But then, JAMB changed its policy, and KWASU stopped accepting DE candidates. My dream came crashing down, I felt stuck, confused, and deeply disappointed.

After a lot of reflection and prayer, I decided to apply for Mass Communication at Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto (UDUS). When I received the admission offer, I accepted it reluctantly, thinking of it only as a second option. Little did I know it would mark the beginning of a new chapter in my life.

Stepping into UDUS was like entering a new world. Sokoto was hotter than I imagined, and the permanent site felt far and dry. Registration was hectic: long queues, missing files, and confusing schedules. I missed home. I missed the Law dream. But I told myself, “Maybe this is God’s plan.”

I expected lectures with smart boards, media labs full of cameras, and fast-paced academic life. In reality, some facilities were lacking. The power supply was unstable. Some classes were overcrowded. But the lecturers were kind, and most were passionate about what they taught. Slowly, I began to appreciate the field.

My Experience as a Mass Communication Student ranges from writing news articles to learning about public relations and broadcasting. Mass Communication opened my eyes to a new world. I found myself enjoying things I never thought I would. I joined group discussions, engaged in class presentations, and even visited the school radio station. I’ve started to see myself not as a “rejected Law student,” but as someone carving a new path.

I faced lots of challenges, I found it difficult letting go of my Law ambition, adapting to a new course I didn’t plan for, poor internet network and power issues,water scarcity and hostel discomfort, and financial struggles here and there.

Moreover, as a Mass Communication student has been eye-opening, from writing news stories and learning public relations to exploring broadcasting. I began to enjoy things I never thought I would. I joined group discussions, participated in class presentations, and visited the school’s radio station. Gradually, I stopped seeing myself as a “rejected Law student” and started embracing my identity as a communicator in the making.

Of course, the journey hasn’t been without challenges. Letting go of my Law ambition wasn’t easy. Adapting to a new course I never planned for tested my patience. Poor internet connection, power outages, water scarcity, hostel discomfort, and financial struggles made things even tougher. But each hurdle shaped me in ways I didn’t expect.

In the end, I realized that life doesn’t always go according to plan, but it always goes forward.
I’ve made friends who became family. I’ve found a new passion. Mass Communication is no longer a substitute, it’s my purpose, my confidence, and perhaps my future.

If Law closed its door, Mass Communication opened a window, and I’m walking through it with my head held high.

Rejoinder: WAMECA 2025– MFWA’s Unjust Withdrawal of PEN PRESS Alumnus' Award in the Telecoms and ICTs Category

© PEN PRESS

On October 20, 2025, Abdulrasheed Hammed received an email from the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) informing him that the International Centre for Investigative Reporting (ICIR) had lodged a complaint concerning his winning story for the 2025 West Africa Media Excellence Awards (WAMECA) in the Telecommunications and ICTs Reporting category.

The Award winning story, titled “Fiscal transparency: Despite ICT advancement, Nigerian states’ open contracting portals inaccessible”, was alleged by ICIR to have first been published on its website on July 31, 2023, before being republished on January 5, 2024, which they claimed made it ineligible for the award.

Regarding the email sent to him, he made it clear that he was a fellow of ICIR between the period of 2022 and 2024, and the ICIR encouraged them to republish their works on different platforms for more visibility and to achieve more impact.

“In my response to MFWA, I made it clear that I was a fellow under the ICIR Open Contracting Reporting Fellowship between 2022 and 2024. During this fellowship, fellows were explicitly encouraged to republish their stories on credible media platforms to reach wider audiences and achieve greater impact,” he said.

He further stated; he proceeded and got his works republished by some media platforms including Ripple Nigeria, PEN PRESS, and other platforms with full acknowledgement of the support of ICIR for the stories.

“Following this instruction, all my fellowship reports, like those of other fellows, were republished on Ripples Nigeria and PEN PRESS, with full acknowledgement of ICIR and the MacArthur Foundation for their support.”

He proved those stories with the dates being published with ICIR and PEN PRESS.

“Abandoned Health Projects Litter Sokoto Despite Multi-Million Naira Investment” was first published by ICIR in December 2022.

https://www.icirnigeria.org/investigation-abandoned-health-projects-litter-sokoto-despite-multi-million-naira-investment/, and later republished by PEN PRESS on March 30, 2023
https://penpress.ng/investigation-abandoned-health-projects-litter-sokoto-despite-multi-million-naira-investment/

Another story, “After Spending N70m, Contractor Shabbily Executed Sokoto Roads”, was first published on PEN PRESS on September 29, 2022
https://penpress.ng/investigation-after-spending-n70m-contractor-shabbily-executed-sokoto-roads/ then republished on Ripples Nigeria on September 30, 2022,
https://www.ripplesnigeria.com/investigation-how-n70m-road-construction-created-more-hardship-for-sokoto-residents/, and later on ICIR’s website on October 5, 2022.
https://www.icirnigeria.org/investigation-after-spending-n70m-contractor-shabbily-executed-sokoto-roads/.

Claim of Copyright and Republication Rights

“ICIR’s claim that I required its consent to republish my report is legally baseless. Under Section 6(1) of the Nigerian Copyright Act, the author of a literary work, including journalism, owns the copyright unless the work was produced under employment or there is a written agreement transferring that right.”

“There was no such agreement between me and ICIR. The N70,000 paid for the report as a fellowship stipend does not amount to a transfer of copyright. Furthermore, the fellowship guidelines did not prohibit republication, and my report properly acknowledged ICIR and the MacArthur Foundation at the end. Therefore, I remain the lawful copyright holder of my work,” he said.

ICIR’s action of writing to MFWA to challenge the award is without any legal or ethical justification. What makes their conduct worse is that they alleged, without presenting any evidence, that he intentionally republished the report in January 2024 to make it eligible for the 2025 WAMECA Awards. This allegation is false and misleading because the report was republished on January 5, 2024, while the call for entries for WAMECA 2025 was only opened in April 2025, more than a year later. The republication was done in good faith and in accordance with the fellowship practice of amplifying impact, not for award purposes.

ICIR’s Contradiction

ICIR celebrated him for winning the award and played another game by petitioning the award.

“Shockingly, ICIR itself publicly celebrated my nomination when it reported that one of its fellows’ works (mine) was shortlisted for WAMECA 2025,” he reference https://www.icirnigeria.org/icir-reports-shortlisted-for-west-african-media-excellence-awards/

This is archived, HERE.

“If ICIR had genuine concerns, it should have raised them at that stage. Instead, after my story had been meritoriously declared the winner, they secretly petitioned MFWA to revoke the award without even informing me. This conduct is not only unethical but also shows bad faith,” he added.

MFWA’s Ambiguous Eligibility Guidelines

MFWA’s call for entries for the 2025 Awards clearly stated that “An entry for the Awards must have been published or broadcast between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024.” It did not specify that the story must have been published for the first time within that period. My entry, which was republished on January 5, 2024, falls squarely within that timeframe. https://wameca.mfwa.org/wameca-2025-call-for-entries/

If MFWA intended to restrict entries to stories published for the first time, it should have stated so explicitly, as other award organisers do. The Save the Children Global Media Awards states that “Entries must have been published or broadcast for the first time between 31 August 2024 and 1 July 2025.” https://savemediaawards.com/

The absence of such language in MFWA’s call makes their decision to withdraw my award unjustifiable.

Legal Interpretation: The Contra Proferentem Principle

Under both Nigerian and Ghanaian law, when the terms of a document or guideline are unclear, they must be interpreted against the drafter. This is known as the contra proferentem rule. The Nigerian Supreme Court in The Honda Place Ltd v. Globe Motor Holdings (Nig.) Ltd (2005) affirmed that ambiguous terms cannot be used to unfairly disadvantage the other party.

Therefore, since MFWA’s eligibility clause did not specify that entries must be first-time publications, it is unjust and legally improper to penalise me based on that interpretation.

Due Process and Fairness

Even if MFWA believed republished works were ineligible, it had every opportunity to identify this during the screening and review process before announcing the winners. Withdrawing the award after public recognition not only damages my professional reputation but also undermines MFWA’s own credibility and fairness as an institution that claims to promote media excellence and integrity.

A Call for Fair Judgment

This rejoinder to make the facts known to the public. MFWA’s decision to revoke the award based on an ambiguous clause and ICIR’s baseless allegations is unfair, unethical, and damaging to the spirit of media excellence.

Hammad acted in good faith, followed all the guidelines provided, and produced a story that was recognised purely on merit and impact. The withdrawal of this award is unjust, and PEN PRESS calls on MFWA to reconsider its action in the interest of fairness, transparency, and credibility.
No organisation should attempt to suppress or discredit the work of a journalist simply based on the date of publication. PEN PRESS stands by the integrity of the work and the principles of fairness that journalism represents.

Reporter's Diary: From Law to Mass Communication— My Journey Taught Me That Every Disappointment Is a Blessing

By Shuaibu Sharifat

Just like yesterday, it still feels surreal to be in Danfodiyo. I am just a girl with the dream of studying law, which I have been pursuing for two years after obtaining my Diploma in civil law, but all my efforts seem like I'm not trying at all.

Everything changed when I was advised by a friend to choose Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto. A few months later, I was given admission but not law. I was admitted to study Mass Communication. That day, my mood was poignant. I was wondering how I would study a course I have no passion for. However, I'm happy because I know what it's like to be in university and I will stop feeling like an outcast among my friends.

As time goes on, I'm intrigued by the course I once looked down upon. In the journey of studying, I realized I have many things in common with the course. I love learning new things every day, I love reading stories and novels and I love being on social media (content) which is part of my duties as a communicator as well. All these attributes make me find Mass Communication to be fascinating.

Law now feels more rigid to me, I apprehend the fact that law and my learning style or pace might not have aligned. I'm sure, I'll still find many things in Mass Communication that align with my style or interest which did not align with Law. I figured out that every disappointment is a blessing

Every time I feel exhausted due to stress or if I am relenting, I always ask myself– Is it the same brain and strength I want to use to study law? and I found my strength again, these words motivated me through a whole session.

To everyone out there, I found my way forward. Life’s trials don’t mean failure, never give up on your passion or dreams.

Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto has taught me there is always a way out when I feel trapped, there's always a loophole somewhere around, and through the challenges and stress, I found my breakthrough.

The Trap of Charming Faces

By: Asma'u malami mustapha

In the garden of my heart, forsaken I was
First love, left to wither in sorrow
Left to wander through the desolate landscape
Of abandonment, searching for comfort in the shadows.
Of what once was, now but only a memory

Seven hundred and thirty days today, since my first love,
My heart's first flame betrayed me.
Leaving me behind, shattered in shame and humiliation
His departure wounded me, not only private
but also public.
before my family, leaving an indelible scar on my soul

Suddenly, he got in with a fleeting charm.
An angel of academic distraction,
Losing my future to love.
Leaving me heartbroken, shattered, and worn
A lesson learned, never to trust again,
Heart-Shattered is its price.

The good ones are rare, a precious few,
But the bad ones abound, with hearts anew.
Deceitful and cunning, they weave their spell,
Leaving you broken, with a story to tell.

Dear ones, open your eyes, and see,
Before you give your heart wild and free.
Think before you trust, analyze and criticize;
Don't let your emotions cloud your wisdom.

University guys, a warning to all –
their charm and charisma, a treacherous call.
They will lure you in with a smile so bright,
But leave you heartbroken in the darkest night

So, my dear colleagues, sisters, and friends,
Be cautious, be wise, and make amends.
Open your eyes, and think before you give –
your heart away to a lifeless love

Don't fall into their trap, don't be deceived;
Think before you trust, and your heart will be relieved.

Nottingham Forest End Winless Streak With Clinical Victory Over FC Porto

By: JAMIU SOLIU

Nottingham Forest finally finished their winless 10-game streak with a 2–0 triumph over the giant of Portuguese, FC Porto, this marking their first victory since August and only their second of the season.

The win came just two days after the replacement of the former manager Ange Postecoglou, the newly-appointed boss Sean Dyche wasted no time stamping his authority on the squad. His arrival has given Forest's dressing room fresh breath, which makes the club earn its first European win under his leadership.

Forest’s victory came through Morgan Gibbs-White, who opened the scoring before Igor Jesus calmly converted a spot-kick, dispatching it without hesitation and hit the win.

Only three shots on target were registered from eight attempts, Forest made their chances count with an expected goals tally of two. On the other hand, Porto failed to make a win with their ten attempts, managing just two shots on target throughout the encounter.

The victory also places Dyche in rare company, becoming the first Forest manager since Philippe Montanier in 2016 to secure a win in his debut match at the City Ground, a feat last witnessed against Burton Albion.

NELFUND Addresses Delay in Reapplication Access, Assures Pending Disbursements Will Be Completed Soon

By Issa Hamed Alhaji

The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has clarified issues surrounding applicants’ inability to reapply for the 2025/2026 academic session, attributing the challenge to pending disbursements from previous loan applications.

In a response issued through its official support ticketing platform on Thursday, October 24, 2025, a support representative identified as Oreoluwa explained that some applicants are still tied due to ongoing disbursement processes that have not been fully completed on the system.

According to the statement, applicants currently facing restrictions are experiencing the issue because their previous applications are: “yet to be fully disbursed.” NELFUND emphasized that until the disbursement cycle for these applications is completed and properly reflected on applicants’ dashboards, the system will not grant access to initiate new loan requests for the upcoming academic session.

"Once the disbursement process is completed and your dashboard is updated to reflect this, you will be able to reapply for the 2025/2026 session," the response stated.

The agency further assured that all outstanding disbursements are expected to be finalized before the end of this month, urging applicants to remain patient and continue monitoring their dashboards for real-time updates.

NELFUND acknowledged the inconvenience caused by the delay and appreciated applicants’ patience and understanding as the institution works toward resolving backlog processes.

The Education Loan Fund, which has continued to receive thousands of applications across the country, has been instrumental in supporting Nigerian students financially, particularly as tuition fees and economic pressures continue to rise.

The applicants are advised to check their dashboards periodically, wait for confirmation of completed disbursement status, and reapply only after system approval is visibly updated.
