This
October, Nigerians at home and in Diaspora will celebrate with the
clinking of glasses and a million hurrays, the 54th independence
anniversary of our country from good old Britain.
In
the build-up to that date, there will be dissenting voices as usual
protesting the stunted growth of the country and pointing out that there
is a long way to go. Few organizations however w ill make any attempt to
arrest this slide into irredeemability and fewer still will have their
efforts centered around youth, the epicentre of the nation and the
future of governance. Continue...
Nigeria
Dialogue, the think-tank of young Nigerian professionals around the
globe passionate for a departure from the diseased norm, will however be
ticking all the boxes right. It will be holding a series of gala nights
aimed at bringing together the men and women who can change the future
of Nigeria in the coming decades.
From
Atlanta to Houston, Baltimore and Toronto across the US of A and
Canada, this event, aptly tagged 'Let Us Build' will be an opportunity
for massive networking, fine dining and more. Those charged with the
task of energizing us on those nights to save
our country include Rauf Aregbesola, Obiageli Ezekwesili, Pat Utomi,
Rotimi Amaechi, Abike Dabiri, Sam Amadi, Abdulmumuni Jibrin and more.
Participants
will have the opportunity to rub minds with the finest of company and
learn firsthand the experience in governance the aforementioned have
accumulated over the years, as well as learn how to combat the many
challenges involved.
There
will be no better platform this September - for Nigerians in the
Diaspora - to feed your patriotism fat and watch it morph into actual
willpower to participate in changing the fortunes of our motherland and
finding solutions to the multitude if problems that envelop our land.
You
- and the over 2 million Nigerians - scattered all over the globe also
have the opportunity to be part of our 37th State Initiative and speak
as one formidable voice - the voice of change - enthusiastic about
actually changing about the state of the nation, rather than
consistently complaining only. In 2013, Nigerians in Diaspora
contributed $21billion alone - as figures from the World Bank show - to
the economy if the state. Who's to say we can't do more in 2014 and
subsequent years?
Nigeria
is ours to build, to tweak and to reinforce. Our knowledge in art,
technology, innovation and policy formulation is key. There is no better
time to start than now and no other group as equipped to lead change as
us.
