Every story is unique. Every journey matters.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we stand with everyone affected by breast cancer, including older women and men whose experiences deserve recognition, understanding and support.

For adults aged 60 and above, access to timely diagnosis, quality care and compassionate support can make a meaningful difference. Awareness means recognising the signs, challenging barriers to care and ensuring no one feels overlooked because of their age or gender.

Let’s raise awareness, encourage early action and remind every person affected that their story matters.

At 79, Carolyn is doing more than making a fashion statement. She’s challenging expectations, embracing her individuality and showing us that style, confidence and ambition don’t come with an age limit.

She began modelling at 72, proving that there’s always room to try something new, express yourself and keep becoming who you want to be.

Carolyn is a reminder that ageing doesn’t mean fitting into a box. Sometimes, it means rewriting the rules.

There’s so much we stand to gain when generations connect.

Older adults bring wisdom, lived experiences, traditions, and perspectives that deserve to be shared, not overlooked. When we look beyond age, we create room for meaningful relationships, mutual learning, and stronger communities.

Let’s build a society where our elders are not just present, but heard, valued, and given room to contribute. Because every generation has something to give, and every generation has something to learn.

Arthritis shouldn’t put life on hold.

Joint pain and stiffness can make everyday activities more challenging for seniors, but understanding the condition and seeking appropriate care can help support mobility, independence, and quality of life.

This World Arthritis Day 2026, we’re raising awareness and embracing this year’s theme, “Achieve Your Dreams,” as a reminder that ageing should not mean giving up on the things that bring us joy and fulfilment.

Let’s keep encouraging our seniors to prioritise their well-being, seek support when needed, and keep moving within their abilities.

Your well-being matters. Your dreams still matter.

Caring for ageing parents goes beyond asking, “How are you doing?”

In this video, a young man shares three things he does to support his Nigerian parents as they grow older: attending their medical appointments, checking in on their retirement plans, and encouraging them to stay active.

The roles may change as our parents grow older, but making sure they’re well remains just as important.

As we grow older, changes in our vision can sometimes seem like a normal part of ageing. But when something feels different, it is important not to simply ignore it or get used to it.

Blurred vision, difficulty reading, increased sensitivity to light, or difficulty seeing at night are some changes that deserve your attention.

Your eyes help you stay connected to the things you love, from reading and moving around safely to recognising familiar faces and enjoying everyday moments. Taking care of your vision is part of taking care of your independence and quality of life.

Take a few moments to go through this guide and learn what to look out for. And if you notice a new or persistent change in your vision, speak with an eye-care professional.

Your vision matters. Your independence matters. And your wellbeing matters at every age.

2.1 billion people aged 60 and over.

It’s a number that can feel far away. But it really isn’t.

The people who will make up that number are already here. And many of us reading this will be part of it too.

So the question isn’t only how many people will grow older. It’s what kind of world will they grow old in?

A world where older people feel valued, connected and supported? A world where they can access the care they need and continue to live with dignity?

The answers aren’t waiting for us in 2050. We are shaping them now.

So, what is one thing we can do today to help build a better world to grow old in?

Maybe it’s checking in, listening, making a space more accessible, or simply challenging the way we think about ageing.

Whatever it is, we start somewhere.

Longer lives are changing what ageing looks like.

This year’s International Day of Older Persons theme, “The Age of Longevity: Rethinking Systems for Longer Lives,” invites us to look beyond simply adding years to life.

It asks us to think about whether the systems around us are keeping pace with those longer lives, from healthcare and long-term care to housing, social protection and the communities we build.

Because a longer life should come with more than time. It should come with the support to live with health, dignity, security and connection.

As we mark International Day of Older Persons, what would it look like to build a society that is truly prepared for longer lives?

Welcome to October!

A new month, and another year of celebrating the journey of our nation.

As Nigeria marks 66 years of independence, we also celebrate the generations who have lived through its many seasons, contributed to its growth and carried its story forward.

You are an important part of that story.

As we step into this new month, may we continue to build a Nigeria where every generation is valued, supported and given the opportunity to thrive.

Happy New Month, and Happy Independence Day, Nigeria.

Here’s to the generations who built before us, those building today, and those who will carry it forward.
