NIGERIAN YOUTHS ARISE: LESSONS FROM CANADA AND FRANCE

We can replicate the Trudeau and the Macron phenomenon in Nigeria if we effectively and efficiently organize rather than agonize.

WE CAN, if we repudiate crash partisanship and embrace patriotism.

WE CAN, if we lampoon religiosity and court true brotherhood.

And WE CAN, if we elect truth, fairness and justice over ethnicity and nepotism.

Conscious of the voter demographics, if we mobilize effectively WE CAN take power in 2019.

Don’t let naysayers and ‘Doubting Thomases’ plunder your faith, it is absolutely possible.

And we do not need their kind of financial war chest to pull this through, all we need is a strategic plan and a programmatic that places the ORDINARY PEOPLE as the linchpin and the centre-point of the ballot based revolution to come in 2019.

Of the 72million or more registered Voters in Nigeria over 75% are 50years and below, that means that about 55m of the registered voters are under 50years, over 85% of them have access to telephones, and 60% percent of them are active on one social media platform or the other.

So WE MUST begin to reach out and network for the redemption of our Country rather than the PH.D (PULL HIM DOWN) syndrome, insults, invectives, and diatribes that liter the space.

If we do not have all the money to engage in HOUSE TO HOUSE, CITY TO CITY, STATE TO STATE and UNIT TO UNIT campaign, we can begin with WALL TO WALL, FACEBOOK TO INSTAGRAM, TWITTER TO LINKEDIN, BBM TO WHATSAPP, YAHOO CHAT TO GOOGLE CHAT, AND GROUP TO GROUP campaign.

To reach the grassroots, WE CAN ‘Give up a Beer a day’, ‘Give up a Coke a day’, or ‘Give up something a day’ to fund this ballot based revolution.

A hundred naira every month from determined Nigerian Youths can oil the wheel of this revolution much more than moneybags can muster.

I AM IN, ARE YOU?
