Nigerians, please if you’re going to revolt, march to your nearest registration center and register to vote to participate in the upcoming elections. [...]
It is a crucial time in Nigeria as the 2011 elections are fast approaching. Although the diaspora votes will not be included this year doesn’t mean those of us far from home will be at a standstill. Hence, the Vote or Quench DC Chapter decided to host a Dial-4-Change Brunch Telethon. Our goal? To make sure that even though our votes would not be included this year, we could still call our wonderful friends and family at home to encourage them to participate and [...]
On Tuesday, January 11th, 2011 we are asking that you donate your status on any social media vehicle you see fit, from Twitter/Facebook/ Blackberry Messenger/Google Buzz and let people know what change can come to our country #IfNaijaVotes.

At the time, and in months that followed, Nigerians hoped that the attempted flight bombing would be revealed to be a one off. Aren’t we after all, among the world’s happiest people? Aren’t we [...]
