afam4eva: The Nairaland political section is filled with all manner of complaints about the state of Nigeria but we just keep talking without doing anything about it. I think it's high time we came together to form a political movement which is geared towards changing Nigeria. With the help of Nairaland, we can send a strong message to the right quarters. We could even form a political party. What do you guys think?

berem: With the level of Tribalism on Nairaland, unfortuantely it might not work IMHO.

ilugunboy:
What are the objectives?

OYINBOGOJU: What will be the targets?

Who and who are eligible to me a member?

Any movement without a leader is a mission to no where.

OYINBOGOJU: About the leaders

The active peoplee known to be promoting tribal war shall be exempted from holding a leading position even though they can be accepted as a member.

Actively been promoted by people like you...

@ OP

What are the objectives?

berem: you no well.

@ Afamefula,how possible is it to form a faceless political movement? Moreover some of us are pro-ACN,pro-PDP and others.how will you merge everyone in one political movement?

Okija_juju: Sadly, I dont think we are large enough to actually make any influence.. The entire membership is 970,000.. And not up to 500,000 are active. Thats not even counting the multiple I.D's here..

I think its a laudable Idea, but maybe we can affect the senatorial, local government, assembly and Reps elections.. but not state or federal government..

For those talking about tribalism and Ethinic rivalry, I dont think that many Nairalanders take that shiit seriously o!! Maybe less than 1% of the active e-tribalist are actually like that in real life..

*Ileke-IdI:


You can't. And it would ruin the whole point of a political movement if everyone is forced to share this same political opinion.

I couldnt agree more..

It would be hard to bring all Nigerians across all ethinicities, religion and political affilliations under one umbrella..

The objective of the movement has to be one thats flexible enough to accomodate all and resilient enough to weed out those who are just outrightly bad (e.g PointB & 9jaIhail.. )..

OYINBOGOJU:

I think it is more better when we are not large,it gives chance for better understanding and any ineterested member in future will have no choice than to abide by the rule of the movement.

Okija_juju:

For us to be able to make an impact, we need to have the strenght that comes with numbers.. 3 million strong and we can sway an election in any direction we want.. 3 million strong and our voice can never be drowned out..

OYINBOGOJU:

We can't force people to join but first I think we need the executives to lay out set targets and guidlines.

If we get through that people will come.

We don't have to see the whole staircase ,let us make the first step.

Geomac: I don't think we need 1M members to start
