Standing in knee-deep floodwater, Viviane Tavershima gazed over her farm in Agada, Benue State. Her farm manager had called, earlier that morning in September 2021, to inform her that the farm was deluged. She had planted the 12-hectare land with hibiscus, melon, groundnut, rice, maize, soybeans and tubers. “I didn’t know that place was prone to flooding until the previous year,” she said. It is not easy wading through a flooded farmland. For Ms Tavershima, it is even more complicated. Due to a spinal condition that affects her mobility, she walks with the aid of crutches and wears specially adapted…

Tim Akano Rousseau wrote that man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains. He was only half right. Biology corrects philosophy before philosophy gets the chance: a newborn cannot feed himself, protect himself, walk, speak, or regulate his own temperature. He enters the world owing everything to somebody else. He does not begin life self-made. Freedom comes later — and when it comes, it comes with a bill. That bill is responsibility. In a word: freedom is not free.Freedom is not the absence of constraints. It is the ability to choose, within reality, and to accept what follows…
