[ad_1] John Dobson says the decision to consolidate the Stormers brand over Western Province reflects the reality of modern professional rugby. Stormers Rugby announced last Friday that all its professional teams will play under the Stormers banner, including in the Currie Cup as the Stormers XXIII.

Only amateur rugby teams under the Western Province RFU will continue to play under the Western Province brand. MORE: No more WP in Currie Cup Speaking…

[ad_1] A few years ago, I was recruiting for a C-suite position with a six-figure salary. As applications came in, I realised a pattern. Almost every candidate was male. Not a single woman applied.

The qualifications are present. The results are being…

[ad_1] Adanne. Melon House One of the major strongpoints of Nollywood is how its movies reflect the reality and daily struggles of Nigerians. Topics and titles that may not be openly discussed or discussed in muffled voices are shown on the big screen to the audience.

Adanne, a movie that tells the story of three generations of Nigerian women, exploring legacy, identity, and resilience through an intergenerational lens, aims to do the same. Written and produced…

Today isn’t just another date on the calendar; it’s the day the whole world pauses to acknowledge something we see every single day on our timelines and in our homes: the sheer brilliance, resilience, and heart of the Nigerian woman. This year, the global theme for IWD is “Give to Gain.” It’s a beautiful, simple concept that feels so inherently us.
