Why I Advocate For Gender Equality – Tems

Tems, a popular singer from Nigeria, had a really interesting moment at the Global Citizen Festival in Ghana when she discussed why she consistently advocates for gender equality. The hosts questioned Tems about why she consistently advocates for gender equality in her songs and podcast while the audience applauded. In response, the singer stated that she supports gender equality because not enough opportunities are provided for women. She continued by saying that if she could provide more chances and possibilities for women, she would. Tems said, “We don’t get enough chances. Women need more chances, women need more opportunities in this world. And if I can give it, why not. “I feel if you love someone you show them off. And I want to show off every woman in this world because they deserve it” Click to see more posts about

FG to borrow N1.59trn locally to fund Budget 2020

The Federal Government will now borrow N1.59 trillion from the domestic market to fund the Budget 2020, instead of the N794.99 billion earlier contained in the budget.

This follows the conversion of the N850 billion earlier approved for external borrowing in the budget to domestic borrowing.

The   Debt Management Office  (DMO) explained, yesterday, that the decision was taken in view of effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the international capital

The DMO disclosed this in a statement, saying,  “The 2020 Appropriation Act approves the N1.594 trillion as New Borrowing to finance the deficit in the budget.

“This was made up of N794.99 billion domestic borrowing and  N850 billion external borrowing.

“With a COVID-19 pandemic and attendant effects on the world economy and the international capital market,  the Federal Government re-appraised its borrowing plan and decided it will be more expedient to raise the  N850 billion earlier approved as external borrowing from domestic sources
