 Angelina Jolie says her “fighting spirit is finally back” as her children help her rebuild after health struggles Angelina Jolie has spoken openly about how her six children have helped her regain strength after a difficult stretch marked by health challenges and the end of her marriage. Speaking to Variety, the 51-year-old actress said she feels like she is slowly returning to herself again while discussing her new film Couture, which explores illness and identity in a way that closely mirrors parts of her own journey. “I think my fighting spirit is finally back,” Jolie said. “I lost it for a bit. I got kind of taken down a little bit and it’s coming back in large part thanks to my children, who are now older, and encouraging it.” In the film, Jolie portrays an American director working in Europe who receives a breast cancer diagnosis while on assignment for a fashion project.  The story reflects themes that have personal meaning for her, especially given her own decision in...

 SOLUDO’S ZERO DISCRIMINATION POLICIES 

By Law Mefor 


Today is Zero Discrimination Day and it is a moment to reflect on Prof Chukwuma Charles Soludo's zero discrimination policies. 


Governor Soludo's inclusive governance in Anambra State is making a difference and aligns with global efforts to address discrimination. His policies, programmes, and projects prioritise the underprivileged while promoting fairness and equality. Policies, programmes, and projects include free education, free antenatal care, free delivery, youth initiatives, skills training, free digital training for youth, and over 800 kilometres of roads connecting the remotest parts of the state. 


Virtually all of Soludo’s policies, programs, and projects aim to eliminate discrimination. The governor talks about Anambra as ‘one state, one people, one agenda’.


In the same way, every March 1 is set aside globally as Zero Discrimination Day, a moment to reaffirm the values of fairness, inclusion, and respect for the dignity of every human being. 


Zero discrimination speaks to a society where no individual is sidelined or denied opportunities because of who they are—whether based on gender, age, health condition, disability, faith, ethnicity, or social standing. It is a firm stand against stigma, bias, and all forms of unfair treatment that limit human potential. 


Led worldwide by UNAIDS, this observance draws attention to the fact that discrimination continues to obstruct growth, unity, and sustainable development. Wherever discrimination persists, talents are suppressed, voices are ignored, and progress is slowed. 


Zero Discrimination Day is a reminder for Nigeria, and especially Anambra State, that every person matters. It challenges us to establish a setting where fairness and compassion, rather than prejudice or harmful stereotypes, guide access to education, healthcare, employment, and justice.


Discrimination flourishes when ignored. It fractures communities and widens social gaps. By speaking up, raising awareness, and strengthening laws that safeguard human rights, society takes meaningful steps toward equity and social harmony. 


Today is Zero Discrimination Day, and we should all work to create a culture of acceptance, empathy, and unity, where differences are respected, and everyone has a fair chance to succeed.


Soludo believes that only a society devoid of discrimination can achieve true development. 


Soludo's inclusive governance aims at:


- Prioritising the underserved


- Promoting fairness and equality


- Aligning with global concerns for discrimination 


As hoped by the Zero Discrimination Day, Soludo's approach reflects a commitment to creating opportunities for all, regardless of background or circumstance. His leadership is helping to build a more harmonious and equitable society. 


Indeed, Governor Soludo has ended discrimination in governance in Anambra State, and the state is the better for it. He has touched up governance to reflect inclusivity to carry every part of the state along.
