In 1999, the United Nations, through the International Labour Organization (ILO), adopted Convention No. 182 — calling on all nations to take urgent and immediate action to eliminate the most harmful and exploitative forms of child labour.

This includes slavery, trafficking, exploitation, hazardous work, and forced recruitment of children in armed conflict.�

✍🏾 Today, this convention is among the most widely ratified in the world — yet, millions of children remain unprotected.

In Africa alone, according to UNICEF, over 92 million children — 1 in every 5 — are still engaged in child labour.

�Many are out of school, exposed to danger, and stripped of their right to a safe, healthy childhood.

Despite progress, global trends have reversed in recent years — a stark reminder that words must become action.

With Sustainable Development Goal 8.7, the world pledged to end child labour in all its forms by 2025. But the deadline is here — and the urgency is real.

Now is the time to act boldly, implement fully, and protect every child’s right to be a child.

Story behind baby Yamal's photoshoot with a young Lionel Messi:

At the time, Messi was a 20-year-old rising star for Barcelona, already making a significant impact on the global stage. Lamine Yamal, now a teenage sensation for both Barcelona and the Spanish national team, was merely 6 months old.

The occasion for this encounter was a charity initiative. The photoshoot was part of an annual project to create a charity calendar, a collaboration between UNICEF and the local newspaper, Diario Sport. Barcelona players would pose with children and their families for this calendar. Lamine Yamal's family, who lived in Mataró, a town near Barcelona, were chosen to participate after winning a raffle organized by UNICEF. This lottery gave them the unique opportunity to have their picture taken at Camp Nou with a Barça player.

Destiny.

THE GREAT BETRAYAL: APA STATE, WATER SCARCITY, AND INSECURITY—THE POLITICS OF DEATH IN BENUE ZONE C IDOMALAND

For decades, Apa State has been dangled before us like a poisoned carrot, a deceptive mirage designed to keep us pacified while the real business of oppression continues. David Mark whispered its name in our ears for years, feeding us hope while tightening the chains of underdevelopment. Abba Moro came along, mouthing the same tired script, and like clockwork, Apa State was swept under the rug while other regions secured their new states.

This is not coincidence. This is systematic suppression. The strategy is clear—keep Idomaland, Zone C, Apa/Agatu weak, keep us distracted, and keep us thirsty.

THE WATER SCANDAL: MAKING OTUKPO KNEEL IN THIRST
Let’s speak plainly—denying a people water is an act of war.
Otukpo, the so-called (too neglected, unattractive, bad roads, no security, waterless and dirty) “capital” of Idoma land, has been reduced to a parched wasteland where residents drink from filthy, mud-infested pools like abandoned cattle. The Otobi Water Works, once a beacon of survival, has been left to rot, just like every other promise made to us.

Tell me—how can a land that birthed senators, ministers, and supposed “billionaires” allow its people to drink from the dirt like beggars? Where is the wealth? Where is the leadership? Where is the outrage?

The answer is simple: they do not care.
They sit in their mansions, drinking imported water while we fight over buckets of filth. They attend political meetings in Abuja, making deals with the same people who have ensured Apa/Agatu remains a graveyard of forgotten promises.

INSECURITY: TURNING OUR HOMES INTO KILLING FIELDS
As if thirst wasn’t enough, now death prowls our streets.
Otukpo has become a hunting ground for kidnappers and killers. The people are screaming for help, yet the government remains silent. Protests have erupted, bodies are piling up, yet the only response is indifference.

Tell me again, who are these leaders serving? Because it is certainly not us.

The lawmaker representing Otukpo-Ohimini has raised alarms, but words are not enough. Our people are being hunted like animals, yet those in power act as if this is normal.
Let me be clear—this is not normal. This is engineered chaos.

CONNECTING THE DOTS: A MASTERPLAN OF OPPRESSION
Water scarcity and insecurity are not accidents. They are the tools of control.

Deny them water, and they will beg.
Deny them safety, and they will cower.
Deny them Apa State, and they will remain trapped.

For too long, our politicians have played us for fools. But here’s the truth—the fear is gone.

THE FINAL WARNING: 2027 WILL NOT BE BUSINESS AS USUAL
Otukpo will not die in thirst. Apa/Agatu will not kneel in fear.
Let it be known—the people are awake.
We will no longer listen to the lies of billionaires who made their wealth off our backs. We will not be fooled by another cycle of empty promises, false hope, and engineered suffering.

If Apa State is not prioritized, if water is not restored, if security is not enforced—2027 will be a reckoning.
No more business as usual. No more deception.
The people will remember. And when the time comes, they will act.
