The House of Representatives is an essential plank in our socio-political and economic life, as the centre for policy design. It has been designated with the power to change our social realities by shaping policies that inspire positive metrics in our economy and engender life transformation for Nigerians. To get this country to work, we need strong and credible people in every position, at every level of our political strata. We need representatives who will think more holistically about their role in the economy, society and the broader environment, and propose policies that can produce verifiable impact on the economy, environment and the society at large. #ANN #YouthSpring

OAU-AU Celebrates 50 Years of Existence.

In May 1963, Sekou Touré, Leopold Senghor, Gamal Abdel Nasser, Kwame Nkrumah, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Modibo Keita, Julius Nyerere, and other (male only) African leaders articulated the founding of the Organization of African Unity (OAU).

The African Union marks landmark anniversary

 As the host Haile Selassie said at that historic gathering, "We approach the days ahead with the prayer that we who have assembled here may be granted the wisdom, the judgement and the inspiration which will enable us to maintain our faith with the peoples and the nations which entrusted their fate to our hands."

Nelson Mandela and Muammar Gadaffi

That faith may have been broken time and again, and the reality of Africans may be far from the African Union's ambitious goals, but maybe today it's time to believe again in Pan-Africanism and African Renaissance.

Sure and steady Jona

Many people are distributing this Progress Report issued by the Federal Government of Nigeria (GEJ administration.) 
Full of nice pictures, the downloadable document has a few pages of highlights - captioned photos and bullet points - from every Ministry regarding their accomplishments.

This is accountability, good democracy.  

Sure and Steady Transformation Page 155

Of course, comment is free, and the criticism will start to flow as soon as people have read it.  As it should.  Criticism is good democracy too.

Let the technocrats work

There is a debate raging over the restructuring of the physical form of Nigerian currency. A new N5,000 bill is to be introduced, and coins will be re-introduced, in effect.  It appears to be utterly sensible.

Six to Ten months ago, there was more than a debate over subsidies on fuel importation.  You may remember the strikes, rallies, and near-riots.

 Nigerians prayed for a technocracy and got it somewhat.
Now, the technocracy needs communication skills, or the public will not allow it to work.
