THE WEIGHT OF PERFECTION

Image
 Image by Sora Shimazaki from Pexels From the moment I first grasped the weight of expectation, I knew I was destined to achieve. Not because I wished for it, but because the world had already carved my path, one paved with excellence and admiration. A child prodigy, an inspiration, a name whispered among peers with reverence. I walked hallways bathed in golden light, the chosen one, the beacon, the daughter who could never falter. They say pressure creates diamonds, but does anyone ever ask what happens when the weight becomes too much? When the cracks begin to form beneath the dazzling surface? My journey began in a small town, where whispers of my brilliance spread like wildfire. Teachers called me extraordinary; neighbors told their children to look up to me. I became the yardstick of success, the gold standard, the embodiment of every parent's unspoken dream. Bevin, the key reference. And so, I lived up to it. I surpassed it. I carried the burden with grace, earning my pla...

The descent of Goma: A City At The Heart Of Turmoil

Image
 Image from World Food Program In the eastern expanse of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the city of Goma finds itself once again embroiled in a tempest of violence, as decades of simmering conflict erupt into full-scale devastation. With a population exceeding two million, Goma has been thrust into the frontline of an intensifying military campaign led by the M23 rebel group, whose advances, bolstered by Rwandan support, have triggered a full-scale crisis. This analysis seeks to explore the current turmoil engulfing Goma, the parties responsible, and the unbearable consequences borne by its civilian population. Goma’s Collapse: The Rebel Surge On January 27, 2025, Goma, the strategic hub of North Kivu province, fell under the control of the M23 rebel forces, signalling a grievous setback for both the Congolese military and international peacekeeping efforts. With the rebels receiving significant backing from Rwanda, their swift encroachment caught the Congolese forces ...

A LAWYER'S HEART STILL SINGS

Image
  Image by Pixabay from Pexels They say law school strips the poetry from your soul, replacing it with rigid reasoning, cold logic, and footnotes longer than the argument itself. But the human condition demands more. The courtroom and the stage both require mastery of language. With my law school experience so far, I can say that a well-crafted legal argument, much like a poem, must persuade, evoke emotion, and leave an imprint. At times, even the law itself is poetic. So here I am—a law student who still embraces poetry. A jurist at heart, but also a dreamer. Through this space, I will explore the delicate intersections of law, love, and philosophy. I’ll write about justice, not just as a legal construct but as a profound human experience. Some days, I’ll speak in reasoned arguments; other days, in whispered verses. If you, too, believe that law is more than statutes and that justice deserves a melody, your insights are more than welcome. Let’s see where this journey takes us. Doe...

Diplomacy, International Law & The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s): A Guide towards achieving the SDG’s.

Image
  Image by Fauxels from Pexels ABSTRACT The Sustainable Development Goals have been of key importance to Africa and the entire globe. This is following the United Nations Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development and the African Union’s Agenda 2063 which together advocate for the attainment of the SDGs. However, the achievement of the said goals has been hampered by a multiplicity of challenges that include but are not limited to political instability and rampant corruption, which lay the basis of my research. Political stability at the national level backed by a significant decline in the levels of corruption are the hallmarks of a conducive environment in which the SDGs may be achieved.   This paper therefore seeks to draw a nexus between healthy and effective diplomatic relations coupled with collaboration in the implementation of International Law as tools necessary for the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals. It argues that such attainment is dependent on t...
