 CURBING OPEN DEFECATION: LASG, WATERAID, PRIVATE SECTOR COLLABORATE TO BUILD 350 PUBLIC TOILETS IN LAGOS  The Lagos State Government, in collaboration with WaterAid Plan and private operators, is set to build 350 more public toilets across the state to curb widespread open defecation and maintain hygiene and sanitation.  This is just as the State WaterAid team lead gave a projection that by 2028, the organisation will reach 10 million residents directly and another 17 million indirectly through interventions with basic Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) access. Speaking at a roundtable over the weekend, the Special Adviser on Environment, Engr. Olakunle Rotimi-Akodu said work has started on some of the toilets including identifying the locations for them.

Nigeria full of rape apologists, says comedienne Princess

Popular comedienne, Damilola Adekoya aka Princess has argued that Nigeria is full of rape apologists and abusers.
She asserted this in an interview with popular media personality, Chude Jideonwo stating many rape victims are at risk of becoming abusers themselves, noting that the discussion isnā€™t something people arenā€™t ready to admit.
She said: ā€œA lot of Nigerians are actually rapists and rape apologists. Let me tell you, out of every 10 children who are abused, 5 of them would probably become abusers if they were not adequately rehabilitated. Are we ready for that talk? Already people are defiling 3 months old, 9 months old.ā€
The comic personality expressed disappointment in people taking advantage of children and even the elderly, noting that things are going from bad to worse.
She charged Nigerians to observe developed countries and take note of how much they protect their children as well as their elderly.
Expressing rage, she said: ā€œHow can you rape a 78 year old woman in broad daylight? Where are we going? So whatā€™s going to be next, I want to know when do we stop. Thatā€™s why I said we went from good, bad to sinister, this is a horror movie.
ā€œOur children are our future, if we donā€™t stand for them, what do we gain? Any country that is progressing, watch them and learn how they take care of their elderly and children.
ā€œI donā€™t care about your religion, our tradition, religion, Islam, and Christianity do not support you dehumanizing or abusing children. We have lost it! People will see a child being abused and theyā€™ll walk away and say ā€˜It doesnā€™t concern me?ā€™ What do you mean?! It concerns everybody.ā€
Princess spoke about her foster daughter, who was molested by popular actor Baba Ijesha who has been sentenced.
She noted that there were people trying to convince her to drop the case during the trial, but she blatantly refused.
The comic said: ā€œAnd the fact that, over the years like I told you, when I even deal with people the way they come, ā€œAunty princess letā€™s just drop the caseā€, and some parents will even meet up with the perpetrators to negotiate a settlement. I saw one that they settled with a goat, itā€™s not done. Itā€™s not done, we shouldnā€™t do this to our children, e go red o if we continue like this.ā€
She added that back in 2021 when the case was in court, she was constantly fearful of people when she realised some of them were out looking for the CCTV footage of Baba Ijesha molesting the 14-year-old.
