Über diesen Titel

 The show aims to shed light on the challenges faced by less privileged widows, providing support and a platform to promote a better life. Join us in making a difference.

CBA Foundation is committed to shedding more light on the daunting challenges faced by less privileged widows. Our program offers a unique opportunity for widows to rekindle hope, heal, and thrive. We understand that widowhood can be a lonely journey, with experiences of ostracization, isolation, neglect, and rejection. However, through deliberate willpower and support, widows can find a new life and surmount these challenges.

Everyone has a story of loss, and the journey of a widow is one that demands love and support from the community. At CBA Foundation, we believe that each of us has a role to play in making our world a better place for all. By extending a helping hand to widows, we can create a stronger support system and promote a better life for those in need.

Visit our website www.cbafoundation.org to learn more about how you can support widows and be a part of this empowering initiative. Follow us on Instagram @cbafoundation_ and find us on Facebook and Twitter as CBAFoundation for regular updates and stories of hope.

  • Building Entrepreneurial Capacity for Widows

    Building Entrepreneurial Capacity for Widows
    Dec 8 2023
    The challenges associated with losing a spouse are multidimensional. It goes beyond the emotional toll of bereavement that death brings to financial burden.
    The surviving spouse often must deal with significant financial as well as personal loss. While this can impact both sexes, women tend to outlive men, and men tend to out-earn women, so the economic impact falls disproportionately on widows.
    Unfortunately, financial assistance for widows is not readily available. Save for inconsistent support from some Non-governmental organisations (NGOs), widows explore ways of finding sources of money or earning a living.
    This is where entrepreneurial skills come in. It’s intertwined with widows learning how to manage their money, as well as knowing impact of the financial decisions. On this episode, we shall discuss Building Entrepreneurial capacity for widows with:
    • Tewa Onasanya
    • Bode Akinwande
    • Julian Etuokwu

    Know Your Legal Rights as a Widow (II) : The Inheritance Rights of Widows in Nigeria
    Oct 23 2023
    The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria expressly prohibits gender-based discrimination. Nigeria is a signatory to several international and regional instruments that seek to promote equal rights for men and women. These include The Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the African Charter on Human and Peoples‟ Rights and the Optional Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa. In addition, the apex court in Nigeria has given landmark judgements upholding the inheritance rights of women in general and widows in particular. In spite of the existence of these laws, widows still have challenges with regard to inheriting from the estates of their late spouses.
    In continuation of the last episode, today, we will look at what these laws are; why the hinderances despite the laws as well as the solutions to truly implementing the laws. Specifically, we would be exploring The Inheritance Rights of Widows in Nigeria with Ifeoma Benardine Esom
