 UK secondary schools will start screening Netflix’s hit show Adolescence as part of a government-sponsored program to teach students about the dangers of misogyny.  The show, praised for its sensitive portrayal of complex issues, will be used in classrooms to spark discussions about harmful online influences. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who watched the series with his teenage children, said it was a powerful tool to help young people navigate modern challenges. Starmer emphasized the importance of addressing the content young people consume and the conversations they have with their peers. He stated that by listening to young people and charities, society can better understand and tackle the issues raised in the show. The initiative comes amid growing concerns over children’s exposure to extreme misogynistic content online, particularly from controversial influencers like Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan, who face serious criminal accusations.

ALABA TRADERS OPPOSE PLANNED PROTESTS.(PHOTO).


 Alaba traders oppose planned protests


President General of Alaba International Market Ojo Lagos, Chief Camilus Amajuoyi, has announced the market’s members will not participate in the planned nationwide protests.

He clarified this decision was not due to a lack of awareness of the current harsh economic conditions but stems from a belief that mass protests may not be the appropriate solution at this time.

Amajuoyi emphasised that many traders in the market rely on daily income and cannot afford to disrupt their business activities.

He pointed out that the informal sector, which includes many market members, has been severely affected by the tripling cost of doing business, with no government palliatives, incentives, or interest-free loans to alleviate their struggles.

He however expressed his confidence in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s ability to address the nation’s pressing issues.

“The fluctuating exchange rates and high costs of duties at national ports, coupled with increased transportation expenses, have made it nearly impossible for business owners to plan effectively. These factors have contributed to the sharp rise in the prices of goods and services across the country.

“These are realities staring Nigerians in the face, from the North, East west and South of the nation. Even at that, we members of Alaba International market unequivocally state that we are not going to partake in any planned protest in Nigeria, we are not closing our market in solidarity with any group or persons with regard to any protest.

“We believe that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will definitely find a lasting solution to the numerous challenges facing Nigerians now, ranging from insecurity, high cost of food, drugs, transportation, bad roads, corruption among other things,” Amajuoyi said.

Amajuoyi however decried the perilous state of the only access road to Alaba International Market, which has caused numerous accidents involving heavy-duty trucks.

He urged the Lagos State government to prioritize the repair of this critical route and focus on other projects that could significantly reduce the suffering of the masses.

He also warned potential protesters to stay away from Alaba International Market to prevent any looting or damage to goods.

He called on the Lagos State government, Nigerian police, military, DSS, and other security agencies to ensure that all market places are protected from criminal elements.

“Our market will not be a venue for protests, and we will not tolerate any disruptions,” Amajuoyi stated.
