Echoes of Glow

More people are quietly making a difficult decision this season to step away from farming due to the rising cost of fertilizers and farm inputs.

And understandably so.

But there’s another side to this conversation.

Some households are now thinking
“Let’s just buy and store food during the harvest season.”

But then the question is,
if many people stop farming, who will produce the food we plan to buy?

Harvest does not happen in the market, It starts on the farm.
And behind every bag of food in the market
is a farmer who chose to plant, despite the cost and uncertainty.

And for those of us still willing to farm
have we considered the bigger picture?

Have we checked the unexpected weather changes, seasonal predictions, rainfall patterns, and uncertainties that now shape agriculture?

Today, farming is no longer about effort only,
it is also information, timing, and awareness.

This is why agriculture is not just a personal decision,
it is a collective survival system.

What are you planting this season?

EVER HEARD OF OVERHYDRATION? 💧

With this intense heat, everyone is saying “drink more water, stay hydrated.”

And yes, that’s important… but here’s something many people don’t realize 👇

DRINKING TOO MUCH WATER CAN ACTUALLY BE HARMFUL.

Surprising, right?

It’s called OVER HYDRATION.

When you drink excessively, your body’s salt balance can be disrupted, leading to a condition called HYPONATREMIA.

This can leave you feeling dizzy, weak, or unwell.

So what should you do in this heat?
💧 Drink water regularly, not excessively
Increase your intake, but don’t force it
Listen to your body, not just the temperature

Have you ever felt uncomfortable after drinking too much water, or do you just keep drinking because of the heat?

Your goal shouldn't just be to drink more… but to hydrate smartly.

I’m reminded that there’s something powerful about being in a room with people who share the same passion and purpose.
It’s always inspiring to collaborate with professionals committed to amplifying climate issues, driving awareness, and shaping meaningful conversations.

Grateful for this team of journalists using their voices for impact.
The role of the media in climate action cannot be overstated.

How do you cope with 41°C heat? ☀️

As extreme temperatures intensify, it is important to take simple steps to stay safe and healthy.
Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

Limit outdoor activities and remain indoors as much as possible during peak heat hours.

Wear light, breathable clothing to help your body stay cool.

If you must go outside, protect yourself with sunglasses, a hat, or an umbrella.

Stay cool. Stay hydrated. Stay protected.

Extreme heat is no joke.

Take heat safety seriously.

When you learn a skill, you master it.
And after you have mastered it?

You rest😅.

🎄CHRISTMAS WITHOUT THE CHILLS!

Remember that cool air that used to herald Christmas?
From mid-November, the mornings would feel crisp, the evenings cooler, and suddenly you knew Christmas was near. That cozy feeling set the mood instantly!

But this year… not so much. The cooler weather didn’t arrive, and I realized I couldn’t just slip into Christmas mode.
And that got me thinking 🤔

This isn’t just about me, it’s a glimpse of what is happening with our climate. 🌍
Changing weather patterns, warmer winters, unpredictable temperature shifts… the coolness that once marked the season is becoming less reliable, reminding us how our environment is shifting.

So, if you find yourself trying to “feel” Christmas but the weather isn’t Christmassy, this is a gentle reminder that the world is changing, and we need to notice it… while still finding ways to celebrate life.

🎄🎄🎄
For unto us a Child is born, and His light shines through every season.

May the joy of Christ’s birth bring hope, renewal, and clarity to your dreams.

Merry Christmas and a grace-filled New Year.

16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM AGAINST GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE

What the Law Says About Online Harassment & Cyberbullying in Nigeria

Online abuse is not “just banter”, it’s a crime.

Under Section 24 of Nigeria’s Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, it’s illegal to send messages that are:

“Grossly offensive, obscene, menacing, or false messages sent to cause annoyance, insult, fear, or harm.”

➡️ Penalty: Up to ₦7 million fine or 3 years imprisonment.

➡️ If the message bullies, threatens, or harasses and causes fear of harm or death,
Penalty increases to 10 years imprisonment and ₦25 million fine.

For women and girls, this matters deeply.
🔸 Online harassment, cyber-bullying, and stalking are forms of technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV).

🔸 It silences women, spreads fear, and violates their rights, just like physical violence.

🔸 Knowing the law empowers survivors to speak out and seek justice.
