IACP SE03EP04 - Digital Rights for All Nigerians
Around the world, there are several civil society groups fighting to ensure that government take the digital rights of her citizens seriously. In Nigeria, we have Paradigm Initiative. For many of us, losing internet connectivity for a day or having our favourite social media platforms disrupted for a couple of hours would be annoying, but should we be a more concerned about the implications of such events, especially when they happen during elections or vote counting? Should we be worried that the government can spy and punish anyone they please because they are pro-opposition? Why should you care if you’re neither pro-opposition nor very vocal on social media? To help us answer these questions, I spoke with Gbenga Sesan, Executive Director of Paradigm Initiative. He is also a Non-Resident Fellow at the Digital Civil Society Lab at Stanford University. Prior to starting Paradigm Initiative, 'Gbenga led the Lagos Digital Village, a joint project of Junior Achievement of Nigeria, Microsoft and Lagos State Government. Gbenga was listed by CNN as one of the Top 10 African Tech Voices on Twitter and by Ventures Africa as one of 40 African Legends Under 40. He has been advising the World Health Organisation on Data Privacy during the ongoing pandemic and is also advising the World Economic Forum on its Operationalising Trust Project, to develop rights-respecting Data Policy for businesses.

IACP SE03EP03 - The Power of Words with Alhanislam
There’s no denying that the words we speak in our minds, read, in books, say to others or write with our pens can have a profound effect on us and others around us. One art form borne out of the incredible power of words is poetry. When you take the words off a page and perform them in front of an audience, the additional element of the performer’s passionate rendition, facial expressions, and body language can produce an even more profound impact on audiences. Do you have important things to say and powerful messages to share? Are you an aspiring poet or wish your words could have more of an impact on others? In this episode, I have a chat with Maryam Bukar Hassan, also known as Alhanislam about what she does as a performance poet. She has performed at major festivals and events including the Ake Arts and Book Festival and the Kaduna Book and Arts Festival. She shot into the limelight after she released a video of her poem on domestic violence, titled: ‘VIOLENCE HAS NO RELIGION’. Alhanislam is also the founder of Deen at heart, an organization that focuses on the moral re-engineering of young people.
