 SGBV: LAGOS DSVA TAKES ADVOCACY TO IKEJA RESIDENTS' DOORSTEPS The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) Community Engagement team has spearheaded an impactful door-to-door sensitization campaign across the Ikeja Local Government Area recently. The initiative aims to significantly raise awareness about the critical issues of sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) and cultivate a strong culture of zero tolerance within the community. The Onilekere Community Development Association (CDA) played a vital role in the campaign's success. Community leaders actively participated, receiving comprehensive Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials and thorough briefings on the multifaceted nature of SGBV and the established effective reporting mechanisms.

GIANNI INFANTINO: FIFA WILL ASK EVERY COUNTRY TO NAME A STADIUM AFTER PELE.(PHOTO).#WHAT DO YOU THINK?


Fifa president made the suggestion while speaking to reporters at Pele's wake in Santos, Brazil.

Gianni Infantino, the Fifa president, has bizarrely called on every nation in the world to name a football stadium after Pele in tribute to the Brazilian legend.

ā€œWe are here to pay homage to him, and we are talking with all the federations to observe a moment of silence for Pele,ā€ said Infantino, on a visit to Santos to attend the three-time World Cup winnerā€™s memorial at his former club. ā€œBut we are also talking to every country in the world about having a football stadium named after Pele. In 50 or 100 years, when a child asks, ā€˜Who was Pele?ā€™ then we will be able to remember him. In the place where he used to score his goals, we see the emotions of football. We have to make sure this happens.ā€
It would be an unprecedented commemoration of any player, even one of Peleā€™s exalted standing, giving the impression that Infantino had ā€“ not for the first time in recent weeks ā€“ over-exaggerated for public effect. 
ā€œPele has a unique legacy,ā€ Infantino argued. ā€œHe received a gift from God, a gift that very few people on Earth have, which is to touch peopleā€™s hearts and emotions. The fact is, there are many people around the world, millions, billions, who like me have never seen him play, but who are thinking about and honouring him.

ā€œOf course, I was lucky enough to meet him in person, but I didnā€™t see him play. It was my father who spoke so many times to me about him. The legacy that he leaves behind is singular. 

ā€œHe was the first in the world to do many things that 99 per cent of players can only dream about, and maybe the other one per cent can only do some of the things he did. We will hold him in our hearts, and we will ensure that the world of football remembers him forever.ā€
