Trials, afflictions, and tests are some of the various words used to describe an unexpected or unplanned calamity that befalls someone at one point of their lives or another. It could come early or late in life. It comes either directly or indirectly, while some people consider only evil, contrary events to be tests, Islam categorically states that it could even come in form of something longed for, awaited for or even ardently desired.  Some people believe it is a repercussion for evil deeds in the past. If it is sin, everybody has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Whatever opinion you may hold about trials and their definition, the fact is that they usually happen without your effort just to make or mar you. While some religious scholars see trials as a test for promotion for the most righteous among people, others maintain that they are a wakeful call for those derailing from the path of righteousness so that they can test the result of their past evil

Pan Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere Renewal Group, ARG, on Saturday, called on the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to release the official result of the June 12, 1993, Presidential Election, won by Bashorun M.K.O Abiola. In a statement to commemorate the 23rd anniversary of June 12, the ARG chairman, Olawale Oshun, said President Muhammadu Buhari, as the beneficiary of a ballot revolution that mostly mirrored that of 1993, owed Nigerians the duty of declassifying the result, particularly now that 23 years had elapsed and the Official Secret Act could no longer be binding on the document. ARG, according to the statement, believe releasing the result would “reverse the stigma occasioned by the foolish act of canceling that election, adjudged to be the most peaceful in the history of Nigeria.” The group said releasing the result would also open up the “hypocrisy” of military rule and help project democracy as a better form of governance.

On Thursday morning at 4:30 a.m. I woke up to go join a group of lady/women feminists for a Power Walk. The walk started at Lugogo Parking Lot – through Upper Kololo terrace – Prince Charles Drive up Elizabeth Avenue down Hill Lane back to Prince Charles Drive, Ekobo Avenue onto York Terrace, back to Upper Kololo terrace, through Lugogo by pass and ending back at Lugogo Shoprite Parking Lot. It took us about 65 minutes to do that stretch because we were walking and talking. First time to do this – I came as a sponge. Ready to listen & learn as much as I could. We were about 10 ladies ranging from 60 years of age to 25. The conversations were diverse – but mainly about feminism and women empowerment – what that means today. One of the ladies said – “Are we comfortable with our nakedness – but also do we know how naked we are in public? That bearing of the soul [which is what we do on a daily] of this is who I am”. Women give so much – they love to be – in
