Young Workers: No You Should Not Work On Weekends
On June 11 of this year, a viral Tweet authored by venture capitalist Jordan Kong made its rounds on the popular social networking platform. The thread began with the Tweet: “Unpopular opinion: the best thing young people can do early in their careers is to work on the weekends.” Kong then proceeds to detail the excessive stress and physical health issues she endured to maintain this no-weekend lifestyle, concluding that her hard work has brought her “tremendous joy and happiness.” If that sounds like an unappealing way of life to you, you’re not alone. In today’s capitalism-focused culture...

We Are Closing In On Deadlines, Let's Take Action On Climate Change Now
A plant in my windowsill having taken me through the winters started wilting around a month back. And like the hopeless optimistic I am, I continued watering it, perhaps even more religiously know. Guilt can do strange things to you. It started wilting from the top and today with more than half of it shriveled, I knew it was a fool’s errand to continue building hope for its magical revival. So I decided to take the plant out of the pot, to plant a new one in it in the future. And as the plant came out of the pot, along with it, came the entire soil in the pot too! That’s how strongly the roots...
Climate justice
The artwork speak about climate change in Nigeria. In Nigeria now we have many bad roads that cause flood and the government finds no change to it, floods have destroyed many houses and property and even take many lives away. The citizens want change to all this, we want a better Nigeria, there was this time on my way to school that there were floods covering everywhere and there was no way to pass.

Joining the Discussion on Climate Migration
As a child, I was taught that I could save the planet by recycling, and that climate change – while an important topic – would not begin to affect the day-to-day lives of humans for a long time. But as a college student who has been alternating between a winter jacket and short-sleeved shirts as the temperature in my town jumps more than 30°F each day, I am becoming acutely aware of the fact that I will face catastrophic climate change effects in my lifetime. In fact, I have learned that climate change has already been wreaking havoc on ecosystems and economies for years. Indeed, it has...
The Kid
I was once a kid. Taught to save the earth, Responsible for taking care of the environment, Trained to defend against destroyers. I am against the destroyer. But I became one. It's sad to think and see But I always remember, I was once that kid. We should learn from this mistake. And be the best adult on earth. There is still hope. To be the voice of the earth

Emmanuel Cosmas Msoka - An Inspiring story of a young Innovator, Activist, and Changemaker
One of my teachers told me, I’m nothing, the other said, I won’t make it. The other one said, whatever I do the world will never spot. He could further say, "if he could do a google search he will never find me, so I just needed to stop what I do to my community and focus only on my studies". These are among the statements that I never took into consideration but the universe did. During my ordinary level education, it was a time when I actively engaged in doing a lot for my community and doing what I really love, I did a number of innovations, trained hundreds of children and youths in...
Mental Health: A Stigmatized Subject
Do you know how much I want to do research on why some adults stigmatize mental health? Specifically, stigmatizing a lot of its problems. I was born into a family that taught me a lot of good things, such as being nice to people, how you should act properly in places, how you should behave accordingly, and the like. But there was a lesson that I didn't learn from them, a lesson about mental health. I do think in my country that mental health isn’t a concern for all. It is somehow thought of as a hindrance and is never prioritized by everybody. I have encountered numerous people who experienced...
Education Hour
A successful society is built on the foundation of education. It is the belief that no one is born wise, but rather that wisdom is acquired through experience. Education creates institutions that aim to help those who are afflicted by ignorance, poverty, disease, and violence. We can become our best selves via education and make the world a better place for those around us. The process of imparting knowledge and developing abilities in a pupil is commonly thought of as education. However, learning can be viewed as a lifelong process that is required for survival, as well as a method utilized...
Youth as The Hope of Nations
"Youth is the hope of nations," they say. However, as the modern world continues to evolve on behalf of technology, there have been several issues and cases regarding the abuse of children by taking away their freedom nowadays. Therefore, how are we supposed to establish the future that we seek if we are too quick to belittle and to judge each of our capacities? How are we supposed to establish the future that we seek if we just see youth as burdens and weaklings? In today's time, the younger generation provides and makes much more difference in the most unexpected ways, far from what adults...
ANIMALS - a poem
They sit in a row yet we think of them as low, We disobey the line but think they are undisciplined in mind, Shouldn't we give them a bow For how they are kind. Gazing them graze green grass makes me feel enliven, As I think of, caring for them will pay back, As of now all crazy I am driven, By how we treat them, in fact. All I am mesmerized by the beauty they hold, Can only say it loud that they deserve much more, Shouldn't we mould - ourselves, for it's shouting "enough" from core. I see them below the sapphire, not between the iron, Still there is a fire, to see in the wild a lion.
Too Smart to Fail
SMART What is it? Well, society tells us that being smart means you have good grades, you have a lot of knowledge, you did all your assignments well, etc. And one more, society tells us that being smart means you don’t fail. You must have that one (or two, or three...) person in your school or in your class that is considered “smart“ by your classmates or teacher. Or maybe you are that smart student. Being smart is not easy. Even though it is a gift, sometimes people set high expectations upon them. These expectations are toxic, for example: A is a smart student, she/he always get the first...
