In response to a digital privacy scandal, Mrs. Constancia Mangue Obiang, First Lady of Equatorial Guinea, called for immediate government action to protect the dignity and privacy of Guineo-Ecuadorian women.
On November 6, 2024, the First Lady’s Press Office shared her concerns about the harm caused to women’s image by the growing issue of inappropriate online content.
Mrs. Obiang urged the government to not only address incidents like these but also take proactive measures to ensure women’s safety and respect in the digital age.
Prime Minister Osa Nsue echoed her concerns, acknowledging the need for stronger privacy laws and emphasizing the importance of safeguarding individual rights and the nation’s public image.
The government is considering stricter laws related to privacy and personal data protection to prevent future violations.

The First Lady and the Prime Minister committed to working together to restore public trust and ensure the protection of Equatoguinean women’s reputation.
TV anchor Rufai Oseni makes headlines as he speaks on fuel subsidy in Nigeria. He shared that Nigeria can have fuel subsidy without the long queues at filling stations.
“When we were still paying subsidies, there were no long queues. We were subsidising. So you can still have a subsidy regime going on, and there will be no long queues because production was close by. Dangote had it. That’s just it. That argument also falls flat.
“The biggest beneficiaries of subsidy are not Nigerians. They are crony capitalists that have big infrastructure, and they do contracts. They have been the biggest beneficiaries of the subsidy,” he said.
Lagos State Governor, Sanwo-Olu, speaks to those in the electricity sector about the usual blackouts in the state.
He speaks on ways things can change in the state and how electricity can be provided.
“We need to drop corporate egos, abandon long-standing excuses, and confront the harsh realities obstructing progress in the power sector.”
“We, state governments, used to give excuses that everything is centralised, so the Federal Government has unbundled it now. What have we done in a year and a half?” Sanwo-Olu asked.
“We take two steps forward, we go five steps backward,” he said.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has declared Thursday, August 20, a work-free day for public servants in the state to mark the Isese Festival.
Speaking on the celebration, he said “Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is not a relic. It is a living expression of our traditions and a celebration of Yoruba spirituality as an important part of Nigeria’s cultural and religious landscape,” he said.
He added “When the drums sound in Lagos on Thursday, they answer drums in Havana, in Salvador, in Port of Spain. Fifty-five million people and counting. Lagos is not observing a local holiday. Lagos is standing at the centre of a global heritage,” Aregbe said.
