Yes! and i’m hoping along with over 50 million Nigerian Youth that everyone with capacity for change will be open to support human development driven projects that will ensure core cultural constructs tied to excellence in service, value system and critical thinking are taught in unconventional spaces.

Like say, revamping the vocational education sector by adopting a more practical, outdoor learning approach. Which will in turn encourage sustainable innovation and creativity in youth and adolescents.

We have rich cultural practices that we can harness to ensure that all sorts of manufacturing industries spring up across Nigeria before 2020.

Industries like pottery, metal and glass works, creative industries, Out of the box agriculture like Apiculture, leather works (Aba), the possibilities are endless.

We are tired of hearing about pockets of success that do not make any lasting or visible impact on the grassroots first and the nation as a whole. National and economic restructuring goes beyond the tedious rhetoric of party manifestos. Its time to take this development into the streets.

An unusual chronicle of a girl's journey in Nigeria. Among other things, it is me swimming against headstrong tides. Plus I write creative non fiction.
