A Night to Build: Call to Action

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.

Amazing,

Lyndah did your editors/writers com up with the paragraphs that followed the picture-add? Cos who ever did, only constructed beautiful lines that should provoke any realistically--intelligent mind.

what change did the previous GALA nights have on the country's disappointing growth? Which of the invited speakers/guest has never been invited to such, and what was the outcome? What miracles are going to be discussed that we should be aware of? How does the location even help matters?

Please lets just stick to prayers for now, and stop all this unnecessary mediocre initiatives.

A CALL TO ACTION.
You can always tell those who sit down and do nothing. They are the ones busy criticizing.
Those who are busy doing something never have time to sit down and criticize.

Rosie Said......"A night to build" indeed!!!!. Go to Nija and do a night to build to see if NEPA or PHC will give you light. All we do is talk,No action. Aside from Pat Utomi, Sam Amadi, Abdulmumuni Jibrin,that i never even heard of,the rest Oby Ezekwesisli, Rotimi Amechi, Rauf Aregbesola etc are in government or have been in government,what are you coming to tell me?......Abeg they should all go and sit down.
