Vanessa Obioha writes that the #MeToo movement is long overdue in Nigeria and perhaps, Baba Ijesha’s case may be a good starting point
Each time a prominent person is accused of sexual abuse, there is a flicker of hope that the long-awaited #MeToo movement that started in the United States — and diminished powerful people who were once deemed invincible — would finally find its voice in Nigeria. There have been pockets of #MeToo moments in the country such as the #ArewaMeToo in the northern region in 2017. It was inspired by 24-year-old pharmacist Khadija Adamu in Kano State. Adamu who was sexually assaulted by her boyfriend blogged about her abuse eight months later, spurring other women in the region to speak about the sexual violence against them.

As with most new years, people entered 2020 armed with plans and full of expectations. However, as the year comes to an end, the world is yet to recover from the blows it dealt.
The modus operandi of many things changed during the year because of the coronavirus, with social media habits also affected as more people spent time online following pandemic-induced lockdowns.
And partly because of this, new trends emerged on different social media platforms forming part of the year’s highlights. Here’s an inexhaustive list of hashtags that went viral during the year.
#WorldWarIII and #WWIII
2020 started on quite an interesting note. Just three days into the year, #WorldWarIII and #WWIII were trending on Twitter. After President Donald Trump ordered an airstrike that killed General Qasem Soleimani — Iran’s second-in-command, the trend caught fire.
