Someone called me today, and said…”Deolu, pele, you must be over over busy, I can see you have not updated your site in quite a while”, the reality is, I have been extremely busy, but busy doing good things and we have had a lot of good news in the past few days.
Before I feed you with the details of the good news, let me use this opportunity to invite all my friends and visitors on www.deoluakinyemi.com to the official launch of New Naija Club, aka New Nigeria Club, on the 1st of January, 2008; 3:00pm-5:00pm at the Ballmoral Hall, Kudirat Abiola Way, Oregun, Ikeja Lagos. This is an opportunity for you, not only to start out your new year on a powerful note, but to be part of a great new beginning for Nigeria. The New Nigeria Club has been in it’s prelaunch phase for 4 weeks now, and the response has been phenomenal. It has left people wondering what else is there to launch as they feel it’s launched already. But you just make yourself available on the 1st of January, and it will become quite clear to you, that we haven’t started at all.
Key features of the January 1 event include short bursts about the New Nigeria by Prof Pat Utomi, Niyi Adesanya, Fela Durotoye, Gbenga Sesan, Rev (Mrs) George, and my humble self (Adeolu Akinyemi). It’s also featuring Sound Sultan, and some budding musical artists. Based on agreements to partnership we have secured with law enforcement agents, we’ll be having short talks from representatives of EFCC and the Nigeria Police Force. Come January 1, we’ll also be unveiling the mega bank, that has entered into big time partnership with the New Nigeria Club. As I write, we are also concluding negotiations on getting representations from the Federal Government, Ministry of Youth and Sport and National Orientation Agency and the Lagos State Government.
One outstanding thing I have observed in the last 4weeks of NNC prelaunch is favour. Every organization we have gone to meet, every agency we have enlisted the support of, and every organization we have sought to partner with have responded in the affirmative. I called the MD of a bank I have no relationship with and he gave me an immediate appointment, everything we need is just surfacing one way or the other, it’s been awesome. Guess there is nothing you can do to an idea whose time has come. One other thing that has dazed me is how some organizations hear the idea and suddenly begin to suggest ways to support us to blow the idea bigger than we are seeing it. It is really true that in the beginning of any sustainable epidemic, the first buyers and carriers of the vision are either visionaries, innovators or salesmen.
Next year is a few days ahead, and my calendar for the year is almost filled. Is it the Abuja event that promises to host the president? Is it the planned meeting by the police force for us to see and address about 25,000 police officers? Or is it the fully sponsored events in the 36 states of Nigeria? Or is it the fact that one organization is showing their willingness to sponsor thousands of Nigeria Students to join the club with an option of giving employment based on the clubs recommendation? Or is it a reality show that is featuring top Nigerian artistes and training them to be New Nigeria ambassadors? Next Year is Loaded, and it can be for you too. Start the Year on a high note… Join New Nigeria Club today…. and come for January 1 event and invite your friends… RSVP 🙂

Great and excellent Work Deolu, i can’t afford not to commend you and all the NNC managers team, you are doing an excellent work.
I’m thrilled to hear how far NNC has gone in getting deals and partnership agreements with companies and gorvernment agencies especially the Nigerian Police Force, whao… it’s an interesting indication, i’m excited to see 2008 unfolding all the goodies it has in stock.
I’m sure Deolu, you have some thoughts and plans for us NNC members in Diaspora, i can understand there is much to do at home for now but don’t let your calender be full without us included oh.
As for January 1 launching, it’s a great way to start the New Year, i believe there will be video coverage that some of us can watch at a later time. I’m proud to be a Nigerian, proud to be a member of the New Nigeria Club, keep up the great work., GOD PROSPER NIGERIA, UP NNC !!!!!!
It is very interesting to know that the government and the general public have come to realised that if we don’t build whats ours, no foreign body will.
Am proud to be part of the NEW NIGERIA CLUB.
Thanks alot Deolu for spearheading this move. God has alot for you do. So dont be weary.
GOD BLESS NAIJA

Chairman,
Again you have dazed me beyond measure. I feel light-headed, and feel like jumping on the next plane to Naija to come witness this ground breaking. Well, I guess I will just have to wait till I can come sometime in the 2nd quater of next year to have a 1st hand experience of the whats happening.
Meanwhile, we in the diaspora are cheering from the lines. GO – NNC – GO!!!

(“I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee”Heb 13:5-6) and nothing can separate us from his love (“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?”Rom 8:35) and since we know that nothing is going to keep us away from His love, all i can think of doing is Keep moving forward 🙂

@ All
Thanks for you comments, I’m currently out of town, and access is limited, but when I read from you, I feel blessed.
Thanks.
I am excited at the way NNC is unfolding.
I advise slowhaste.
There should be deliberate and proper assesment and review of every stage of before moving on.
I have no doubt there is no ceiling for NNC.
I am earnestly waiting for the BANKING DEAL. I maintain that it is going to be a BOMB!
Hi All
Compliments of the season and welcome to New Nigeria.
With the unfolding events that have been steady for over 4 weeks now and yet getting bigger and better least to say I and my family are proud to be associated with this great transformation.
Come January 1st all road leads to Oregun. Wear your geles, aso ebis and other traditional dresses to celebrate the birth of a new country.
NIGERIA, it shall be well with you and your citizens!
Cheers.

This is mind blowing.
You’ve been receiving support and favour because you allow yourself to be pushed by the masses who want a better Nigeria. Nigerians have been waiting for that push, here you are at the forefront and history will never forget you. I believe Nigeria will be the envy of the world in the year 2008 because I see more Nigerians in excile flying back home.
The support you’ve gotten so far is just a tip of the iceberg. I see more opening doors ahead.
We have been dreaming the dreams, now it has finally come to reality.
Keep the flag flying.
And for those who are still watching, its high time you join.

You’ve been receiving support and favour because you volunteered yourself in championing a cause where others feel reluctant to give Nigeria a new name for the development of all. Nigerians have been waiting for that move, here you are at the forefront and history will never forget you.

Gudday sir,
I am a member of the newnigeriaclub.I payed b4 last yr ran out but my upline did not register me untill either 1st or 2nd so i don’t know if my registration wld xpire in 6mths or 1 yr.
I wld like to know how much we wld use to renew our membership upon xpiry at newnigeriaclub.
Also the people i have been speaking to(and me) think 6mths is too short a time 4 our registration to xpire particularly because for now we cannot take full advantage of the deals as students.
Pls what can NewNigeriaClub do 4 us.
@ Abimbola,
Membership is valid for 1yr until May 2008. Don’t fret, you are in the club in good time.
The New payment structures will begin to take effect from sometime in May. And like someone said, there is no guarantee that there will be space in New Nigeria Club in the future, as we might need to limit the numbers to what we can consistently add value to.
this is a wonderful initiative. this is actually long overdue. nigeria deserves more than she is getting right now. nigeria is void of natural disasters, but we ourselves have not been helping matters. this is the time to begin to put nigeria in proper perspectives. we can become the best in the world if we put our minds to it. LET US MAKE THIS WORK THIS TIME. i am available head long. just try to work on the membership and the duration.
how can one be a member of the new Nigeria club?
