On Friday, a groundbreaking Zoom meeting took place, where over 164,000 white women came together to raise nearly $2 million in support of Kamala Harris, the American Vice President and a presidential contender.

The event, aptly named ‘White Women: Answer the Call,’ achieved a historic milestone by becoming the largest Zoom meeting ever held.

The virtual gathering, which united women from across the United States, featured a range of high-profile figures, including pop singer Pink and actress Connie Britton.

Both of these celebrities passionately endorsed Harris, highlighting her qualifications and the crucial need for support in her campaign.

Organized by prominent activist Shannon Watts, the event marked a significant achievement in online fundraising.

Watts noted that the Zoom call set a new record by surpassing 100,000 participants and saw grassroots contributions exceed $1 million within the first hour, eventually approaching the $2 million mark.

The sheer scale of the event led to technical difficulties on the Zoom platform, causing many attendees to switch to a YouTube livestream to continue participating.

This technical hiccup did little to dampen the enthusiasm and collective effort, showcasing the powerful impact women can have in shaping political landscapes.

One attendee reflected on the significance of the event, noting that the overwhelming turnout of 150,000 white women supporting a woman of color was a historic moment.

They expressed that the experience felt even more profound than witnessing Obama’s election, underscoring the historical importance of this collective action.

Kamala Harris, who was born on October 20, 1964, is of biracial heritage, with an Indian mother and a Jamaican father who immigrated to the United States.

Her candidacy and the support it has garnered reflect a significant moment in American politics.

Two years into his administration, President Tinubu highlights key achievements in Nigeria’s economy and social sectors. He reminds Nigerians of the tough choices made early on, like removing fuel subsidies and fixing foreign exchange policies, to stop the country from slipping into crisis. These bold moves have started to pay off.

Inflation is easing, staple food prices are dropping, and the oil sector is seeing renewed growth with billions invested. The government has improved revenue collection, narrowed the fiscal deficit, and built up reserves to protect Nigeria from shocks.

Tax reforms are helping small businesses and protecting low-income families by cutting VAT on essentials like food and education. The administration is also supporting new industries through targeted incentives and making trade easier and fairer.

On the social front, health services are expanding with thousands of primary health centers being upgraded and new cancer treatment centers opening. Free and subsidized medical care is reaching more Nigerians, while health insurance coverage grows steadily.

The president also points to progress in education, youth empowerment, and infrastructure development as the foundation for long-term growth. Despite challenges, these efforts show that Nigeria is moving in the right direction, building a stronger economy and better future for all its people.

Since taking office two years ago, President Tinubu has been clear that improving security and investing in the nation’s people are top priorities. He recognizes that without safety, the economy and daily life cannot thrive. His administration has worked hard to strengthen collaboration among security agencies, increase intelligence operations, and support the welfare of the military and police. According to him, it is thanks to these efforts, some regions once troubled by bandits have seen peace return, allowing farmers to get back to work and roads to become safer for travelers.

Beyond security, the government is focused on building a brighter future through education, healthcare, and youth empowerment. Investments in schools and student loans aim to give more Nigerians access to quality education. Health programs have upgraded thousands of primary health centers, introduced cancer treatment centers, and expanded health insurance coverage. The administration has also launched initiatives to create jobs, support small businesses, and encourage innovation—especially among young people eager to shape Nigeria’s tomorrow.

President Tinubu believes these steps are creating a foundation for lasting growth and opportunity. While challenges remain, the commitment to protecting citizens and developing human capital signals a hopeful path forward for Nigeria’s future.
