And in a city like Lagos, where life moves quickly and demands are constant, those moments come more often than we admit. You are busy, you are tired, your mind is full—and yet, somewhere within you, there is still a desire to connect with God. Take note of this: even

Let No One Threaten the Pope!

By Wole Olaoye "Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm.” That is a biblical injunction stated in Psalm 105:15 and 1 Chronicles 16:22, warning against harming or mistreating people set apart for God's purpose. Right from the beginning of organised Christianity, the Pope, as head of the Roman Catholic Church, is the chief servant and peace ambassador.

The Role of Worldreader in achieving SDG 4 – Inclusive, Equitable and Quality Education: The East African Perspective

By Joan Mwachi-Amolo (Kenya) Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) aims to “ensure inclusive, equitable and quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.” Among its several core targets are universal youth literacy, early childhood development, universal pre-primary, primary and secondary education, and education for sustainable development and global citizenship.

It also requires supporting teachers, educators, and families as they facilitate learning.
