The most interesting things that happened this week. Everything you should look forward to this weekend.

ELECTIONS! ELECTIONS!! ELECTIONS!!!
After being postponed from its original date by INEC (a few hours before voting was to commence), the general elections will finally be taking place tomorrow, 23rd of February 2019. Even though it may look like picking between the lesser of two evils, we urge everyone to please go out and vote.
And most importantly, stay safe.
INEC PROMISES TO BE BETTER PREPARED FOR CORPER AD-HOC STAFF
After corps members were literally left out in the cold last weekend when elections were postponed, Mrs Adenike Adeyemi, the NYSC Director, Press and Public Relations, has assured everyone that all corps members deployed as ad-hoc staff during the elections will properly be taken care of.
Can we talk about INEC for a second? They blamed the postponement of the elections and the trash treatment corps members received on "logistics issues," which begs the question:
What have they been doing the past FOUR YEARS?
Fingers crossed things go well this time.
I HAVEN'T RESIGNED OH!
- VP Osinbajo, addressing rumours of his resignation probably started by someone who just can't wait for this administration to be over.

#ArewaMeToo
All through last week, men and women from Northern Nigeria shared their heartbreaking stories of sexual assault and abuse on social media while calling out their abusers in the process. In typical human fashion, the reactions that followed were varied, ranging from sympathy and rage to victim shaming. Toketemu [compiled]( a list of 10 important things to learn from this groundbreaking movement.
