The World AIDS DAY is not a mere memorial but a summon to active response to completely eradicating HIV/AIDS and ending the discrimination against those living with the disease.
There is a common saying that those who do not learn from the past are bound to repeat it. History records that the large number of casualties who got infected and died from AIDS was largely due to the slow and very late response from the communities and governments of the world.
The world AIDS DAY 2024 seeks to address these issues loudly; that Health is a human rights which everyone is entitled to. The prevention against the HIV/ AIDS disease is a right every human being should have, he or she should feel empowered and protected from it.
The world AIDS DAY aims at bridging new programs and policies from different sectors to help in uniting in the fight against the spread of HIV.
The stories of those that have died from the disease and of those still living with it send one loud message,which is that there is no place for stigma and discrimination against those living with the disease.
It is undeniable that great achievements have been made in the fight against AIDS, to the point where it is no longer considered a death sentence but there is still a great mile left to tread and we can not give up now until the war is won.

On September 10, 2024, the Alau dam in Maiduguri bursted, causing devastating floods in the Borno state capital and surrounding villages.

Many people have suffered suicide in silence, by encouraging open conversations we can create a culture of understanding, support and prevention.
It’s time to start the conversation and change the way we think about suicide because talking about it could save a life.
If you’re concerned about someone, let them know support is available. Breaking the stigma surrounding suicidal thoughts is key to prevention. Many people experiencing these feelings may not realise how common they are or may be afraid to seek help.
But by speaking openly, we can show that support is available and no one has to face these thoughts alone.
Starting these conversations, no matter how small, can make a big difference to someone. Whether it’s checking in on a friend or talking about your own mental health, each conversation contributes to a more supportive society.
