Did you know? These powerful sculptures honor the memory of enslaved African ancestors who lost their lives by drowning in rivers, lakes, and the Atlantic Ocean. ✊🏼🇬🇭

“Nkyinkyim” is both an Adinkra symbol and a proverb. It reflects the journeys of our ancestors — from where they migrated to the forced paths of enslavement.

“These are the faces of our ancestors caught in the horrors of slavery. I aim to reflect their pain, their stories, and the strength they carried. Each sculpture represents a different narrative, tribe, and state of being before their capture… I want this installation to serve as a reminder — of our greatness, what we lost, and the greatness we can reclaim.”

Why we want drug integrity test for corps members, prospective couples — NDLEA

The Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), retired Brig. Gen. Buba Marwa, has advocated drug integrity tests for corps members, prospective couples, and others aimed at discouraging substance abuse.

Marwa said the proposed integrity tests were not meant as punitive but preventive measures aimed at discouraging substance abuse.

He said the initiative was also intended to provide early intervention and treatment for individuals “who test positive before their condition deteriorates into drug dependence and other health complications.”

Marwa made this known during a meeting with the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig.-Gen. Olakunle Nafiu, who paid a courtesy visit to the NDLEA headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday.
