Six civil society groups - the Renevlyn Development Initiative (RDI), Citizens Free Service Forum (CFSF), the Environmental Defenders Network (EDEN), Child Health Organisation, New Life Community Care Initiative (NELCCI) and the Ecumenical Water Network Africa/Blue Communities Africa (EWNA/BCA) have sent a petition to the Lagos State House of Assembly urging it to halt the privatisation plans being implemented by the Lagos Water Corporation (LWC). The LWC had organised a Stakeholders’ Engagement on the Pilot Public-Private Partnership (PPP) for Lagos Water Corporation on the 15th of August 2025 at the Protea Hotel, Ikeja with support from WaterAid.

But the groups in a petition to the House of Assembly, made available to the media, said that the event was only portrayed as public participation in decision-making when in actual fact it aimed to ram the P...

TIME IS NOT IN A HURRY - Elvira Jordan Good Morning Beloved! Have you ever been late for work or an event and you’re trying to meet up by doing everything in a hurry? You will see that as you’re trying to comb your hair in a hurry, the brush will fall off a couple of times for you to pick it up and continue. You may wear your jacket the wrong way and be forced to take it off and wear it again. All this will make you late the more. We must have experienced this one way or the other. Yesterday, I realized that we have just 4 months till the end of the year and I just shrugged it off because even though the year ran fast, “What Will Be Will Be”.  This realization may be triggering for some people, especially those who have grandeur plans for the year, lists of achievements, things they want to accomplish in 2025 and things like that. If you haven’t done what you think you need to do, the rush of the year may actually mess with your mind, making you feel like you’re being left behind....

SOMETHING NEW IS UNFOLDING - Elvira Jordan Good Morning Beloved! ✨ Right from the ending of July, I have had the feeling of “a new beginning”. It almost seem like something I can feel and taste in my empty mouth. This is somehow strange because most people get this feeling around the beginning of the year or their birthdays. All the more reason why this is peculiar. For this reason, I have been at the edge of my seat (in a good way). There’s this joyful anticipation of an incoming blessing, miracle, success story, good news… I just know something good is about to happen. Do you feel that little tingle of excitement out of nowhere? It just has to be something beautiful, something like a sunshine ☀️ on a rainy day. I know that we all need something good in our lives. Something to make us smile. A breath of fresh air. An unexpected moment of joy. Good things are actually in the air. All we need to do is to keep the doors of our hearts open, create a welcoming atmosphere for miracles and u...
