"My Work At Media Concern Initiative Has exposed Me To Many Skills."

"Starting Media Concern Initiative (MediaCon) has nothing to do with my being a survivor."

"I was working with The Punch Newspaper and managing two pages focusing on woman."

"I avoided doing the regular focus of most women’s section make-u, fashion, parenting for mothers (lol), cooking."

"I did differently having two full pages per week."

"I began to raise social issues and one of them was on Child Sexual Abuse."

"No one was talking about abuse."

"This invisible Tsunami was totally ignored as a nation."

"The response across the nation was huge."

"Adults from all six Geo=political zones in Nigeria responded."

"The boot camp programme, It is about how to start and keep the sex with your children going."

"This course was first introduced in 2016, on Teachable.com platform and over 250 parents trained."

"I was just testing the market and it was free."

"Over the years, more parents and care givers have taken the course and paid for. *For the first time in this training programme, other experts are joining us."

"In the course of writing, I decided to do something else on women and children and I got a huge response from the adult population across the nation both on email and hard copy."

"A lot of adults, male and female were talking about how they were molested as children."

"I’m talking about people who were my age and maybe older or a little younger."

"MediaConcern focuses strictly on sexual violence response."

"This means responding to the issue of sexual violence both at the prevention level and in terms of providing crisis response."

"Today we can testify to receive such cases very often because we have sexual abuse everywhere."

"When we started, it wasn’t everywhere."

"You don’t open the papers and see rape as an issue. But then, working together with media partners in early stages."

"Today we are glad that is in their face because we wanted it to come to their face because we wanted it to come to their face that there is a problem."

"When we were crying “it’s a wolf”, it was like “where is the wolf?” Now the wolf is saying, “I’m here”."

"Knowing that, you can talk to your child about sexual education at the home front. *The basic part of the body should be known."

"There is nothing wrong with using the word penis or vagina because that is what it is called."

"When the child knows that these are special areas in their bodies, I always prefer to say that all parts of their bodies are special."
