To every cause in the world,there are challenges.The lofty nature of the Sustainable Development Goals,open them up to challenges.Challenges are meant to be tackled and could bring out the best for the SDGs. It requires constancy of purpose,honesty and fairness,in its operations

Acknowledging the truth of the situation of any cause places such a cause on a positive template for change.Climate change is really taking its toil on the world,an indication that efforts have to be improved on.The world welcomes innovation.

Nations, individuals and groups that are identifying themselves with the plight of refugees world wide are helping to ease some of mankind's worst challenges. Mankind would be better for it, if similar efforts are directed towards good government nationally

When issues of serious national implication are trivialized especially by those who should address same with the truthfulness and seriousness they deserve, national life is being sacrificed at the alter of some self seekers. The truth will set Nigeria free.

Dambazau might have excercised his freedom of expression in defence of government.The extent to which his claim is correct given the obviously terribe porous nature of Nigeria's borders and weakening security challenges, is a different thing.The truth will help us out

Men and women of great minds the world over, Liberals or not, are people that are impacting positively on their societies without prejudice or motives that are ulterior. Beside this, are the popularized but questionable actions of defeatists.

Increasing reports of sexual violence in theatre of conflicts remain worrisome. A combination of regular education and enlightenment of the culprits,on the dangers of their lewd activities,along with appropriate sanctions,would steam the tide.Victims should be assisted

Records show that there are far more refugees created by human errors than natural disasters. While working to carter for refugees, it will be worthwhile to do something about avoidable errors of national governments forcing people out their homes and environment

Courage and boldness are fired by uprightness and forthrightness.These help in positioning a cause.A problem with them,turns out to be a problem with a system. If the senators cannot do something about their lust for money,their effectiveness will be limited

With conflict escalating across the world,regular review and fine tuning of existing peace mechanism is imperative. It is easier to prevent than to control war. The UN should EFFECTIVELY use its preventive mechanism to arrest situations.Fairness and firmness are at its disposal

The demand of leadership could be very tasking. In every shere, leaders are expected to be"taller" than the lead even when the lead is expected to compliment leadership. Nigeria would only come out of the doldrums when issues are tackled frankly and frontally

Education in Nigeria has been suffering.Many children are still out of school.Products of the system are still in need of relevant skills.There is still need for an overhaul and the injection of more funds without necessary strangulating citizens economically. Appeal to reason

Rights are rights and are supposed to be inalienable.Politicians should concern themselves with creating the atmosphere for citizens to enjoy their rights.Promises that hinged on rights have often been used to corner citizens.This should stop.Worthwhile experiences,profitable
