Melissa Tandiwe Myambo, University of Johannesburg On the same day I interviewed a white Dutch man living in Gurugram, just south of New Delhi, I spoke with a black Congolese migrant. Their contradictory experiences speak eloquently about the impact of skin colour on shaping migrants’ everyday experiences. The Dutch gentleman, who is in his 30s, told me he increased his business team’s success rate in closing business deals just by showing up. If you bring a Western guy … then they really feel important, so if I come in there I almost feel like a God. […] Honestly, every meeting…
Brian Ekdale, University of Iowa and Melissa Tully, University of Iowa Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta recently signed into law the Data Protection Bill. Passed after several years of debate and delay, the new law places restrictions on the collection and use of digital data by governments and private corporations. The restrictions are similar to those included in a new data protection regulation passed by Nigeria this year. These protection laws are welcome advancements in the light of investigations that revealed that British political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica had worked on presidential campaigns in both countries. It’s been widely known for…

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has directed the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to immediately implement measures aimed at re-positioning the broadcast industry with a view to sanitizing the industry, creating jobs, promoting local content, boosting the advert industry and bringing the broadcast industry up to par with the best practices from around the world. In a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday, the Minister said the directive becomes necessary following the submission of the report of the committee which he set up to work out the modalities for implementing the recommendations approved by President Muhammadu Buhari…
This morning, I woke up to the news that Harry and Meghan (Duke and Duchess of Sussex) have decided to resign from their jobs as seniors within the Royal Family and become financially independent individuals. The comment section of this official post made on Instagram is filled with disdainful words from people who believe their opinions somehow matter or count. For those who know the strict rules within the Royal walls, this step seems to be moving against the grain of what is expected of them as a Royal couple. This news which comes months after Meghan granted an interview…
Justin Lehmiller, Harvard University In 1972, a study showed scientific support for the so-called “Romeo and Juliet effect”: that the more parents interfere in a couple’s relationship, the more intense their romantic bond becomes and the stronger the relationship actually gets. Given both the name and intuitive appeal of this idea, it is perhaps not surprising to learn that this effect has been cited hundreds of times in academic journals and textbooks. In recent years, however, several scientists (myself included) have grown sceptical. It just doesn’t seem to fit with what the broader literature on social approval and relationships has…
Oftentimes, personal style isn’t part of our genetic makeup. Growing up we often are drawn towards a certain style choice while having strong aversions for another, however, nothing is really set in stone. This means style can be learned and unlearned at will. That’s why stylists and image consultants like our Woman Crush Wednesday, Obis Ora, are priceless. In certain life scenes your style can make or break your chances of attaining a certain level of success, hence the importance of always looking the part. Obis, who is a body positivity advocate, teaches women – through her Instagram platform of…
David Baker, Macquarie University What will happen in the 2020s? If history is any guide (and there’s good reason to think it is), the outlook isn’t great. Here are some big-picture predictions: stagnant real wages, faltering standard of living for the lower and middle classes, worsening wealth inequality, more riots and uprisings, ongoing political polarisation, more elites competing for limited positions of power, and elites co-opting radical movements. Thanks to globalisation, all this won’t just happen in one country but in the majority of countries in the world. We will also see geopolitical realignment, dividing the world into new alliances…
Nnaemeka Vincent Emodi, James Cook University Nigeria returned to democracy in 1999. But it took another 16 years for power to change hands, with the All Progressive Congress clinching the office of the presidency in 2015. Led by President Muhammadu Buhari, the new government had three priority areas: corruption, the economy and security. The power sector is at the heart of the economy in Nigeria. In its 2014 manifesto the party promised to expand electricity generation and distribution to supply 40,000 megawatts in four to eight years. It also said it would make power available from renewable energy sources, such…
