You know, when I first read this post, I didn’t want to say anything. Not that I didn’t believe in what Chairman and a lot of other people were advocating but actually b’cos I felt Politics isn’t for everyone and I wasn’t ready to dabble into what I know nothing about. But then, after what happened on Thursday, the 1st of October (can’t relay my whole thoughts on this blog but u can read it at http://www.moneyandinvestmentideas.blogspot.com ,I made a resolute decision to come back to this blog to give my support.

Fellow Nigerians, indeed, it is high time we made this radical move. There must be an absolute turn around. It is true that we the Good-willed people with genuine concern for the growth of our dear nation and bringing our people out of obscurity cannot continue to fold our arms and just lament while those who don’t have good intentions and are undeserving of it mount the throne, for, then, we would have to accept anything they throw at us.

2011, here we come. CHANGE… We can, we must, we will.

Count me in!

Thanks for the call to action. Talking is cheap. Action is not. For we to make this a reality, then action must become cheap to us. And like u rightly said “…“ the man who really counts in the world is the doer, the man who actually does the work, even if imperfectly, not the man who only talks or writes about how it ought to be done.” Now i’m not talking, i’m acting my believe in a New Nigeria even in the midst of gloominess (economy, sports, power, food, education, health care, basic amenities, transportation, human resources etc)

Enter textI have no doubt in my heart of hearts that the most responsible and righteous approach to take in delivering this nation is to out-organize the manifold forces of reproach and elevate the banner of righteousness. Let's give ourselves a chance to nurture this nation. The destiny of a nation is in the hands of its government. And governance requires political influence. We must not fail to try because we are afraid we might fail. Gani tried his bits, let's beat his bits! Let's nurture the seeds sown by our heroes past. More must be done than said if we wish to die in peace. And now is the time to make necessary sacrifices, cos we'll all be dead soon. We must have a sense of urgency about this. right here!

Let's assume you are right…. how does he get access to Position? By prayer? How does the movement for head rolling start? A military takeover? I love intelligent extreme views, let's just try to ensure we can work from the solution to the real process of answers.

This is not about intentions, it's about working towards the answers. Nigeria must change, and can good people win? Is there a possibility? Can anything happen in this world to make it remotely possible? If the answer is yes, no matter how weak, I saw we seek it.

These are the reasons why not

1. The people who formed the party and who chair it, have the ability to determine who gets the ticket on the long run. There have been many cases where the political party executives have been paid hundreds of millions overnight to remove "controversial" aspirants. We can't offer ourselves so cheaply. A platform is needed and it must be OUR platform.

2. In my few weeks of walking with and interacting with this paradigm called politics, I have discovered that things are not as easy as they seem. The first battle is having a place we can use without bias. Even if at the end of the day we run on any other platform, we must have a fall back position, cause if credible people don't get tickets from a platform, they cannot run.

3. 10million Naira is grossly inadequate to run any mobilization, PDP is raising close to 5Billion per state! We already however have allies who are going to cough out all the billions we will need when the time is ripe. To qualify for that however, we must get a place to stand.

I am not interested in any political position in 2011. I'm not even sure of 2015, so this is certainly not even about what I want to do or cannot do. I think we have spoken the language of change, and we must move to it's beat.

I hope this clarifies.

Hello All,
I'm sorry for what I'm about to say. But I don't think the formation of a new party of honest change seekers will actually change Nigeria. I know FRESH party ad good intentions. In Nigeria good intentions are far from enough.

In my honest opinion I think Nigeria is too young for a Democracy. We need a benovolent Dictator. Someone to re-lay the foundation. The foundation is bad and except it is re built, even the righteous can't do nothing. ONLY a revolution will do. Big Heads must roll. A dictator is coming but not to loot. After him, real democracy will be born.
Thanks

One, the task of remaking Nigeria is a battle for the soul of our dearly beloved country from the hands of the ‘network of international & national cabal’, it is a battle for the future of our children, it is a battle for our dignity as a people; in this battle, if we must WIN and WIN must we, conscience must prevail over ego.
Two, instead of spending such amount of money to register another political party, why not we move en masse into the National Conscience Party (NCP) and then utilize that fund for mobilization & organizing, I mean Community Organizing (CO).
Please let’s give it a thought.

Let's spread this far and wide and let the money's start dropping in, we have started already. We'll put a portal up shortly to begin to publicize how much has been received and from whom. Our friends in Diaspora can join in too.. we will appoint a paypal account soon.

While critics and skeptics are ranting, we can make a way forward. If we fail we fail, but at least we try.

sir, me too i am tired of the usual Oct 1 talks and many events that will be coming up. it is time to start taking calculated stepsand action. because if we don not do anything, things will continue on the downward trend that it is. we will do our best because we cant afford to go on like this. Naija will survive.
