Yesterday night, I got an sms from someone yesterday that Dora Akunyili might actually be looking for the New Nigeria Club. That I need to get searching and find out exactly how to link up with her. I took the information in my stride, showed a few colleagues with the intention of getting all the creative juices flowing. I continued through the night and slept, only to be woken up this morning by a phone call from senior officer in the Ministry of Education.
The question rang clear pulling me out of dream world, the assumptions the same – “Dora Akunyili is looking for something in the perimeters of what you people are doing in the New Nigeria Club!” That got me to an early start this morning, checking the news and rummaging through the dailies, the TV and all sources of information on what exactly could be happening. What exactly does Dora Akunyili want, and how does it concern us at the New Nigeria Club? My search was rewarding, but it didn’t leave me with answers, it left me with questions. Questions are not bad however, wisdom is a function of questions, intelligence a function of answers. I’ll like to call an emergency meeting, online and offline of New Nigeria Club members, let’s brainstorm on this together, and let’s see if we need to be invovled with this.
Overview of what the Ministry of Information desires.
The Ministry of Information has come to jettison the Heart of Africa branding project which did not work for me, and based on my interactions, I believe the same for most of us. The head of the ministry, Prof Dora Akunyili unveiled a new intitiative to market Nigeria with a Rebranding Nigeria Campaign. She also launched a competition for the logo and slogan for the campaign. She believes this competition will yeild something that will last, just like our flag lasted.
Re-Branding Nigeria? What’s the Concept?
The heart beat of this campaign is correct the perceptions of Nigerians at home and abroad. It is an unfair occurence but today, any black person involved in any criminal activithy is first tagged a Nigerian. Things are bad, but not as bad as it’s currently percieved. Today, even criminals from other African countries prefer to hide their identities by claiming to be Nigerians. Apparently she got some data while she was the director of NAFDAC to support these claims. She actually got a letter of apology from the EU for a case where Nigeria was accused only for investigations to be concluded and it was discovered that the criminals where Ghanians. According to the excerpts I read, she is clear in her thoughts that she wants Nigeria rebranded, so we can be percieved differently from how we are today.
Why Jettison Heart of Africa Project
The Heart of Africa Project is being jettisoned for many reasons, and in her words, two ver important reaons. Aside of the fact that the Project has not had any impact relative to the issues Nigerians are facing all over the world, there are two other main reasons for junking the project.
1. The name being contentious – Malawi was the first to use the slogan, and many other countries have laid claim to being the Heart of Africa.
2. The Heart of Africa was launched overseas and failed to connect with Nigerians at home, making the project elitist.
Aside of this the project was not very cost effective.
Based on all these, the ministry has decided to embark on a New Nigeria project that will be home-grown and planned in such a way that Nigerians will have ownership of the project. Yes they will leverage on the positive things in the Heart of Africa project!
New Nigeria Club – Do We Support this?
I don’t know about you, but the more I read what she has in mind, the more I see for a fact that what she is looking for in Sokoto (Upcountry), is already in the Sokoto (Trousers). The rebranding that our country needs first needs to re-orient Nigerians and show them who they truly are, the values we as a new nation subscribe to, and where we are headed. Then we need to move quickly to show the world that we are great people and the miscreants among us are outnumbered! We must borrow a leaf from corporate branding – 50% of our branding budget must be spent on developing the brand ambassadors. The people who are Nigerians need to see themselves the way Nigerians ought to be projected, once that is ingrained and well done, the rest becomes easy. No matter how much we stick customer service on our lintel, the customer service lady’s action will speak much louder than those words.
In the last 1yr plus of our existence, we have been utilizing all forms of channels and avenues to build a truly Nigeria owned, home grown, internal and external rebranding machinery called the New Nigeria Club. We have gone to over 20 higher institutions, addressed over 50,000 Nigerians offline, millions online, we have reached beyond the phyiscal boundaries called Nigeria, to Nigeria and Nigerians in Diaspora – UK, US, Candada, Ireland, e.t.c. We hav been on radio, we have featured on Television, we have branded t-shirts, branded cash cards, wear Nigeria lapel pins, branded CDs and DVDs like Nigeria’s map, we have sponsored events, sponsored atheletes, supported orphanages, given scholarships, empowered people, collaborated with other change agents and done our widows might in achieving a truly New Nigeria.
We have a choice however today, do we support this government in this national re-branding? Or will we be accused of doing what Dora was accused of doing – A la destroying her reputation by joining this government? Or do we tell ourselves that our responsibility as light is to look for where it’s dark and shine there, irrespective of whatever prejudices. How to reach Dora is not a problem, she is actually 1 person away from us. The question is as a group, what are your thoughts? I want as many members as possible to share their views on this. Do we work with a government, or do we continue without the government. I’m a member and have my views, but I feel it’s only right that we get on board as many views as possible. In the multitude of counsellors there is safety. And if you are stil wasting time and haven’t joined the New Nigeria Club. Go to www.newnigeriaclub.net/ibelieve and join today!

I have not been an active member of new Nigeria club yet. But i understand, appreciate and believe all it stands for.
The Minister’s move is very welcome but making her see what NNC is already offering and getting the neccesary Government support and endorsement is all that is needed.
I believe we can work with the government, not for the government……well, not yet. We’ve been on this crusade and will remain on it regardless of if the govt. joins the crusade or not.
However, what the crusade aims to achieve is a New Nigeria, a New Government inclusive. We can partner with the govt on this one and ensure that the objectives of re-orientating Nigerians for the New Nigeria we desire is achieved. We can consult for them. We can support them.
and show them how it should be done
Cool …. it is in the dailies as you said.
We all know what the perception issue has caused us individually and as a nation. I also know that people like you n me and a host of others blogging about positive things are doing very well in this business of representing Nigeria correctly to the World. I am a huge believer in the Nigerian dream but let me also accentuate a point you made.
Any initiative that is aimed at improving the Nigerian image must start with a commitment to do the following –
1. Understand the fact that we are tired of branding without leadership buy in to start from the top. Our leaders have to be seen as serious in eschewing corruption and other vices. Lagos inhabitants are getting more civilized n having more hope because of what the leader there is doing. Compare that to Oyo State and see d results. Our people are not animals, if they see correct leadership, things will change.
2. A conscious effort at developing our people is needed. The branding will only make sense if the people of our nation are also touched in the process. A real program of action with a view to developing our people via education, SMEs, health care delivery is needed.
3. The campaign should not be over elitist and intellectual. A lot of the campaign should be targeted at groups that have been affected by the Nigerian situation. Here, I mean people who do not have the privilege of a good education and they are the majority. I believe that this group has to be carried along in this project. They are not really online and they don’t speak big grammar. So other channels of reaching them must be found.
In all, this is an ambitious project and it would take some time to fulfill but it starts with a step. If government can be good enough to show us of their determination to give us good governance; it will not be hard for the citizens to change their mindset and then the outside world will notice it. If our house is not in order – the outside cannot make sense.
Ayobami

Though I have registered online on the website weeks ago, I have not received a response.
On this development, as the saying goes, If you attract a metal it’s because you’re a magnet, and God will always bring to you (or bring you to) people to whom you’re sent. I see this opportunity as such. However, let not the Daniels turn Babylonians, let not the little maid serving in Neman’s house turn a Syrian because maintaining her identity as a Jew/Israelite is where her relevance is. Joseph though died in Egypt mandated his bones be taken back home – as he was in Egypt to serve he was not an Egyptian.
To me, working with or partnering with the Government is a welcomed development and an opportunity to make greater impact, however, keep the original vision and keep focused.
We shall get there!
Hello,
I vote for working “with” (not “for”) the government. This is about getting involved in the positive moves of government and never loosing our identity and ideals in the process.
This is because certain actors/jobbers in government may want to hijack the program/platform.
Please, let their be well defined, clear and unambigous MOU between the club and the government MDA concerned with consideration of implication of potential outcome of actions/plans.
Long live New Nigeria Club
Long live Federal Republic of Nigeria
I believe that is not a question of “whether” but “when” we will get involved. We can either choose now to stay clear or get involved. Our choice today will create the Nigeria will see tomorrow. As for me and my house, the die is cast. I have made a commitment to see that Nigeria becomes a nation that we all will all be proud of anywhere in the world. And this has to happen in my generation.
Like “Ayobami” rightly mentioned, people have to be at the heart of everything that we do. Our actions should be motivated by lives that will be transformed daily. So, I will say that we should support this initiative.
@ Bussee
The responsibility before us is much more than showing the government how things are done. It is about transforming the life of an average Nigerian that lives next to you and create a country that we all will believe in.
Hi Deolu,
Let me start by saying I’m one of the people who have been following the development of the new nigeria club from afar since it started, just yesterday I was contemplating on joining NNC UK group on facebook. However, this morning I turned on the TV to AIT international to listen to the news as I do from time to time to keep abreast of happenings in naija and I saw the news about rebranding nigeria. I thought of u straightaway and about ,how NNC can use this platform to make more nigerians aware of its goals, not aware that Dora Akunliyi was already trying to contact you. By this, i don’t mean, let the goverment hijack the club, but let the club use this opportunity to get well meaning people in the government on board as they could positively improve the impact of the club. For me, developments like this are refreshing, as I know it is the beginning of what most of us have dreamt of to be happening in nigeria, i.e an awakening of the need to be fed up with our negative image and some government backing to do something about it.
I sincerely agree with the fact that the ‘HEART OF AFRICA’ project refused to be relevant right from day 1.
A conscious effort at re-defining our national identity is seriously needed. This is because it will not do us much good as a country if we embark on image laundering, and take care of the symptoms of the problem, without taking steps towards combating the deeply rooted identity problems we have. I believe in what the NNC stands for and I have made up my mind to join, and take a stand for its core values as soon as I can.
Takkia.
Chairman, I guee you get in touch and find out their seriousness and find out if being part of it can make the necessary change we desired.
@All,
Shortly after releasing this post, I got a mail in my box. The mail was sent to Prof Dora Akunyili (so interstingly I have her direct mail address), and I was copied in the mail together with an interesting line up of people – interestingly the same set of people on the NNC IV when we launched.
The mail was simply saying, it might make sense to get these people involved. New Nigeria Club, G.E.M.S.T.O.N.E 2025, ACES, NewDawnWithFunmiIyanda, PIN e.t.c.
I think it might be a great opportunity to be a part of the change on the mega scale, if they are really that motivated. Or something we can ride on the steams of, to keep working on by the side. Let your voice be heard as we decide.
What I’m hearing now is let’s go for it??? Please all the other voices buzzing me and telling me we should be careful should pls voice it here as well.
The minister as well as other Nigerian’s truly desire a new Nigeria, a Nigeria we believe in. It only makes sense that we join forces with anyone who shares the dream of a new Nigeria.
By doing this, we increase the rate of development and move closer to achieving the dream of a New Nigeria.
The New Nigeria Club, the Future Movement, now the quest for a new Nigeria by the Government…..this does not look like a coincidence but rather the time has come for us as a people to collectively take our destinies into our hands and take this Nation to its rightful place.
The NNC is a seed for many things to happen…….i’m not surprised!Many more moves will still come from various Governors and government agencies…….Let me be honest with u,these guys leading us don’t have the slimmest idea of what to do with Nigeria!
NNC isn’t a political machinery and we need to guard the values that birthed this club with our blood if we truly want a Nigeria where we will all be proud of.
THE NEW 9JA CLUB…….I BELIEVE.
I truly believe, NNC, should go for it, for me, this is a case of “Joseph” being brought before the King for a solution to his dreams, only this time, “Joseph” is also a Nigerian!
I am sure, the great work that NNC has done has brought them out to be decision/policy makers in the New Nigeria emerging, so like Ayobami, said the campaign, should touch the ordinary Nigerians and not be elitist and like Oba, NNC should be there as a Daniel that stood and was led by God, and his stance saw him serving about four Kings in Persia!
Indeed, the horse is prepared for battle but victory is of the Lord! I see HOPE/CHANGE with this information, like Elijah, i can hear the sound of abundance of rain and very soon it will pour! God bless you and members of the NNC and God bless Nigeria.
Pls take time to study the whole of IKings – 18, but my emphasise will be on 41-end, may God grant you favor and drop the right word in your spirit, as beyond the secular part of you, is your spiritual part, which is your trust in God for direction, so wait on Him like David, and ask to pursue/follow…and see if His answer will be pursue,overtake and recover Nigeria!

Deolu,
I will not be fully supporting this project and our involvement bcos of my fear of yar dua go slow method which can mare the best intention but if we can be assure that madam Akunyili will not allow politics to derail the programe and that we will be allowed to exit at anytime we are no longer comfortable about the direction of the programme;we can then get involve.Bcos all programe in Nig is usually have political undertone and the politicians are not ready for serious business of nation building but cosmetic or self aggrandizement.Let us look b/4 we loop Akinyuli profile not withstanding.
NNC can partner with the government on the Re-brand Nigeria Project. And the level of involvement should be defined from the beginning.
Hi all,
Its important to recognize the right opportunity and step into it while tempering it with enough care, prayers and advice from both young and old.
I feel we should not be afraid, if we dont work with them know and you look at things critically we will still work with them later. Why? You can not light a lamp and keep it under a bushel. When the right light is shinning people must come to see it however puts more responsibility on you not to allow the viewers of your light to put/blow it out.
There are things however that we MUST DO, few are:
1. Never assume the Minister and all other interested parties know what we stand for fully, it will be VERY important we spell it out to them in CAPITAL LETTERS (probably in soft and hard copies), if they feel they are still interested then we go ahead.
2. We might need to set internal boundaries as to the hows and whats we want to do, i.e. our working with them. I mean putting the right checks and balances such that we will NOT in anyway contradict what we STAND for.
3. Make sure that as others rightly said that we do not just keep shouting to the world, while the grassroots remain in obscurity.
4. As we work with them lets try to keep our IDENTITY strong however large the scope of what we are doing with them is.
There is an opportunity for NATIONAL HONOUR and NATIONAL DISGRACE pls lets choose the former. Everyone, its time to join forces to build this nation to what we know is right for us.
Wao,this is a move in the positive direction. Who says someone may hijack the programme, New Naija club was to created to start a positive epidemic that will outlive all of us that will grow beyond our power. In as much as we still have our will with us,we can go head on into the programme.
Let them hijack our positive attitude, ideas and move towards the new Nigeria of our dream.Asking whether to go on or not is to raise the question of responsibility again. If we don’t stand out and show them the way,someone else will do and who knows it might be selfish and wrong.
Arise oh compatriot! the days are here.
In my own little way, I would like to say that there is absolutely nothing wrong in being part of a revolution, but the important thing as many have rightly said is for NNC to remain focussed…… I think looking the other for such an opportunity only shows that NNC is not passionate enough about what it preaches.
NCC should be part of it to the extent to which it does not make it compromise its stand or join in playing the so called “Nigerian game” which infact should be one the Image re-branding to tackle.
My brother… u ani’t seen anything yet.
NNC and ADEOLU AKINYEMI is still coming on CNN shortly, WATCH OUT!!!
The key word is FOCUS! FOCUS!! FOCUS!!!
It is well
Dear All,
When President Obama commenced his journey to be the first African American president of the US, he started and sustained his campaign on the theme of CHANGE!
When it was time to choose his running mate, he chose an insider – ‘Joe the Biden’. And if you look at his cabinet makeup, it is full of what is called Washignton insiders….have you bothered to ask why?
You cannot change something until you can grasp how it works. My opinion on this invitation is simple, It is an opportunity to get closer to effecting the change. I see only 2 outcomes of our getting involved – 1. We work with others to begin the transformation process of our dear country and 2. We gather enough information and ‘involvement’ in the process that will stand our future movement in good stead to make the desired change in Nigeria.
For those who are concerned about President Yar’adua’s slow approach, and the effect getting involved may have on our collective reputation as NNC, remember 3 people in the administration of President Obasanjo – Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Oby Ezekwesili and Dora Akunyili. There is enough opportunity I believe to conduct ourselves in a way that tells our story of changing Nigeria irrespective of the circumstances.
And lastly, a sign that this will work is the approach itself that is being undertaken to get us involved. This is what President Obama called the bottom-up approach and not the Top-Down approach that made the ‘Heart of Africa’ project fail.
Dear Adeolu and all NNC people, let us go for this as opportunities often do not beckon on us as opportunities..
God Bless Nigeria
Hmmm…. Great News and Great Opportunity. In all honesty and following the dictate of my heart, I believe NNC should get involved fully. The Change agents needs to come together and form a mega force to accelerate the emergence of New Nigeria of our dreams.
Interestingly, during our January NNC UK meeting, Prof. Dora Akinyuli appointment as Minister of Information came up during our discussion, and some of us express the fear of the seemily difficult and delicate portfolio she was given considering what politics looks like presently in Nigeria. But some people were confident enough she is right person for the job and that she will deliver yet again.
As many people have rightly said NNC has core values we strongly stand for and cannot be compromised, we shopuld only put in place measures and structures that will preserve our core values no matter what challenges or storms that ensue along the journey.
For a long time now on this blog, we have read and learnt so much about how not to be afraid and be courageous, how to identify good opportunity and make use of it to achieve the desired goals, how to identify the move of the season and align yourself with it, i believe this is an opportunity that can yield a tremendous positive results for Nigerian youths if we get involved.
A major target of NNC is to raise a critical of 5,000,000 Nigerians at home and abroad who are actively involved in Nation Building, if not anything at all, this national awareness can contribute a lot for us in achieving that figure if not more, whether the government initiative comes or not, we will reach our goal slowly but surely but why crawl when we can fly, to all my fellow NNC members and likeminded change agents i believe getting involve is an opportunity to accelerate our journey to a New Nigeria.
God Bless NNC!, God Bless Change Agents!!, God Bless Nigeria!!!
I must say i’m short of words…Indeed, what God will do He will do at His own time. I believe this is the time to take NNC to another level. Like most comments here have stated..It will be good for us to work with the government, not for sentiments but for what we believe in and our desire to raise a P.A.T.R.I.O.T.I.C Nation.
We talk about re-branding. This is what NNC, GEMSTONE, PIN etc have been involved in. Though we have a voice. It’s time for our voice to be more potent.
God Bless Adeolu Akinyemi
God Bless lovers of Nigeria
God Bless NNC
God Bless our FUTURE
God Bless NIGERIA
We will reach our dreams for this Nigeria once we continue to see Nigeria as a project that is time based.
Now is truly the time to chart a worthy course for others to follow. Together Everyone Achieves More. Together we will all make NIGERIA a better place to live in. Together we will all show the world that Nigerians are the best people to live with. Together we will prove to the world that we are truly the most blessed Nation.
My spiritual father (Bishop David Oyedepo) who is also one of my mentor use to say that, “If Nigeria fails in this generation. Africa is doomed forever”
Now is the time to save our world and that is one of the reason why all i want to be is a HERO.
Once again
God Bless Adeolu Akinyemi
God Bless lovers of Nigeria
God Bless NNC
God Bless our FUTURE
God Bless NIGERIA
Till we come to the fullness of a New Nigeria, I’ll keep the flag flying
This is indeed a noble cause and it is quite important we are involved in re-branding the battered image of our dear country Nigeria. The wind of change is blowing and there is no better time than now for us to move this country to the next level.
We have complained and mourned over the years about issues of bad leadership and the poor state of the country. But if we can change the mentality/orientation of the followers even from the grass root level then for sure this change we desire will soon spread like wild fire even to the corridors of power.
Prof. Dora has proved that she is a worthy Nigerian with integrity and we must support her to see this project through.
If we believe in a better a Nigeria and then we need to act to achieve it.
NNC and other similar groups through its members can make this happen. We are the change agents, so let us make it happen and “Yes We Can”.
compatriots, the trials was sure to come! you cant claim to be a strong man and not be expected to asked to wrestle…if you dont stand for something you will fall for anything.
We had a very heated debate about this same lady and her role in the last meeting as though we were propeshying. I hope we remain apolitcal in our orientation and remember the reason and people for which I joined this group, those that need education and knowledge to provide for a better life for themselves, this education does not neccessary have to be academic, rebranding should touch the life of those within Nigeria and not for us to begin to worry about those “foreigners” outside.
A wise man once said: “…it could be that you were made queen for a time like this!”
This is a unique opportunity. I think we should go for it, and show the world that we can bring change to Abuja, in a big way.
What more confirmation do we need? This is the sort of break that will institutionalize the work NNC has done so far, and will carry it beyond our circle of influence, to greater heights.
This is our chance!
Naija o ni baje oooo!!
God bless Nigeria!!!
Sorry to omit the reference. Esther 4:14b.
I also believe this is an opportunity window. Deolu always says a POOR person is someone who Passes Over Opportunities Repeatedly. Allow me say NNC may be poor (not getting to where we should be) if we miss this opportunity.
Like most people have said we need to be careful. A popular Christian artist once said the reason he doesn’t sing with unbelievers is because for him that will mean he approves of the way of life. The government’s image at the moment is not one we will like to rub off on the NNC brand.
Our involvement should be clear from the beginning and we should have a vision of our expectation. If some months down the line we see that our expectations are not being meet we should have a strategy to back out.
God’s wisdom as we decide on what to do.
I dont really doubt the sincerity of Dora Akunyili, she is one woman I admire so much, the fact that she accepted to work in Yar’Adua administration is a topic that has been over-flogged, we can wait and see how things turn out. but I will support NCC to work with the government and not work for them, so that when they are bringing what is not is not right to the table we can quickly point it out and correct it. At such a time like this, we must not allow anyone to piss in our pockets and then tell us it is raining! we definitely are wiser now!!
There is nothing to fear about partnering with the Government. Like I said earlier, the modalities of the involvement should be put in black and white. We make them know what NNC stands for; what we will be able to do and what we wouldn’t.
I think this is synergy in the right direction, “Re-branding Nigeria”.
An adage says “One tree cannot make a forest”. NNC cannot change the image of Nigeria alone. Let’s leverage on this governmental opportunity to make our voice heard. Even if the government slows down, there are ways we can drive them to perform.
It’s also an opportunity for NNC to get involved in Yar Adua’s government.
This is just the beginning of so many others to come.
I believe in a New Nigeria! Nigeria will be great again!!
For the government officials to reach out to nnc is an indication that they realise they need all the help they can get. Let us ride on this fresh momentum and make the maximum impact. We are all stake holders. The journey has just begun
This is an interesting development…I see it as an opportunity to further the cause of a greater Nigeria which can only be achieved with all hands on deck. While there may be concerns bothering on whether the government is sincere, I think our modus operandi should be to evaluate the possibilities viz a viz the club’s defined goals and values. Seeing the invite was to as many change agents as possible it will be great to be a part of the coalition for the simple reason that we may be able to form the Voltron from the lions as chairman once remarked. Its an opportunity for our voice to be heard….
@All,
There is no invitation yet, there are just voices asking that we step up to the table. The call, was for us to get up and connect, the mail was to connect them with us… Nothing is firm yet.
The purpose of this deliberation is to align the thoughts of other members of the club, so we agree what to do, and how to do it?
I know that some of the people who have commented are in diaspora as well, but it is imminent that we have a face to face meeting fast. Can I propose we plan to meet on the weekend of the 22nd of Feb? For those who can, and for those who are away, we can arrange for an online conference on skype. Please download skype ahead, the meetings should hold next week.
Chairman,
This is getting exciting now. Personally, I’m intrigued and very glad about the inclusion of those of us who can’t make it physically to this proposed meeting. God bless.
There is nothing wrong in rebranding a Nation that’s been categorized among the worst in the world. The truth of the matter is as you pointed out; no matter the quality of strategic documents and statements put together on customer service, the simplest response of the front man or woman will make the real impression on the targets.
what is the frame of mind of our so called leaders? Are they really ready to live and walk the message or they are just interested in sloganeering? Answers to these questons is key to the whole orientation process. The perfidy in Nigeria is largely as a result of the conducts of our leaders. When they lead well, people cooperate and there is orderliness and proper conducts. A great example is the silent but yet effective crusade going on in Lagos.
As for those of us in NNC, we are already persuaded of our greatness as a Nation and we work day-in day-out to contribute our quota everywhere we go. This is the real spirit of reawakening and this is what the Federal Government must embrace. Joining the Government in a formal manner is only symbolic as we are already what we are- A movement that seeks to turn things right and make positive impact (my own understanding.
I would like to end this by quoting Gov. Adams Oshiomohle ‘ when the poverty of the many is pervasive, the plenty of the few is bound to be consumed in anarchy’. Our leaders, and indeed all Nigerians need to rise up to the challenge of making this country truly great and the time is now!
http://www.9jafans.com- It’s all about footabll
Its is a very great opportunity to be heard and to get involved in the project of creating a New Nigeria. The truth is this is the time for the manifestations of the Sons of God. We are in a season where even government will seek for the way forward, they will ask us how can it be done.
I believe the New Nigeria we crave for can become a reality if there is massive re-orientation of the mindset of a large percentage of the population of Nigeria. NNC can get involved in this and we can seek for the inclusion of our fundamental principles in this project of rebranding Nigeria…there has to be a great level of sincerity in this and I think we cannot afford to settle for less.
We are closer to the end of the tunnel than before….
Again, im excited!…….
But i am also Cautious!……
These are the thoughts in my heart.
Branding without character is a waste of time!
If the product we seek to ‘brand”isnt worthy, i think the first thing we want to do is to make the product worthy.
I think we need to develop a framework that will define and improve Nigerias nataional,global and corporate value first.
I think there is need for a re-orientation/training/brainwashing….whatever you might want to call it,starting from leadership and it must trickle down!
What values do we want to portray and how do we weave such values continuosly and consistently into the fabric of our nation?
I think we need to have a workable action plan in that direction, i think we need to initiate it, give it momentum and then get government’s backing and commitment?
One of my major problems with the current national administration is the seeming thoughtless misfirings at national solution.Consider this illustration:what does 7 point agenda mean to the woman who is selling roasted plantain on the streets of lagos?or her family that she supports from her daily venture.
In the regions of the north, (borno for example)where there are no doctors and the state government was lamenting it recently, hows does 7 point agenda directly minister to the need of the woman who is about to give birth without the attention of a proper doctor?
will this brand adventure solve the problem of the 2 women discribed above?or will it be another Tv/radio jingle and adventure?
Respected professor nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka was once lured into the IBB administration to head FRSC.Somehow, he seemingly left at the end of the day….we all know the story.
I absolutely believe in NNC,I believe in the team, I know adeolu Akinyemi and the team.We are bright intelligent minds that can trully make a diffrence!
I think we should COLLABORATE MEANINGFULLY with rules and boundaries.
I THINK WE SHOULD CHECK THE TRUE AND GENUINE INTENT OF GOVERNMENT AND THE MINISTRY OF INFORMATION.
BEFORE WE RESPOND TO THE GOVERNMENT”S CALL, I THINK WE OUGHT TO REVISIT THE TABLES OFOUR INNER HEART AND BROTHERHOOD LET US BOLDLY BRING OUT THE NIGERIA WE BELIEVE WE DESERVE!
up till now, we have amongst ourselves done well, lets strengthen that action spirit and forge ahead!
When we are sure we arent confused about the kind of impact we desire, then, we can forge and consumate this partnership from where we are to where we are going!
While i do not canvass for inaction,I AM ALSO SAYING LETS GO TO THIS TABLE TO NEGOCIATE FOR WHAT IS RELEVANT TO OUR DREAMS AND LET US NOT LOOSE SIGHT OF WHERE WE SET OUT TO GO!
i dare to say that the intensity of our intentions and actions have gotten so loud, that the king and his palace cant ignore us anymore,we must not give those things up!If we give them up in the silly indulgement of the pleasure of the kings visionless court,we risk being swallowed up,our identity, vision, purpose and future too.
While i do not canvass for inaction, lets be aware that several of us, believe in the intergrity of our union,the purpose of our faith and the brotherhood of our common destination in the Nigeria we all desire,Let us not get swallowed up in the abyss of national politics lest we die the death of ignominy.
History shall judge us not only by what we did or didnt do, also by how well we did what we did!
I am absolutely convinced that Nigeria Shall Rise and Flourish!
cheers!
We need to look before we leap.
@Mr. Chairman (Adeolu Akinyemi)
Well said, the day you chose (22nd Feb) for the online conference on skype is alright. It is a sunday. I guess everyone will have time to talk. I need to ask, when is the online conference on skype going to start. We all need to know
@Let’s make it a date on skype. I know some people will not be available because of some obvious reasons (electricity source, internet connection or something else..damn it) but let try our best to meet and propose a way forward like chairman said.. All the comments here is worth it and we should not do away with any..
Long Live NNC
@:In the last 1yr plus of our existence, we have been utilizing all forms of channels and avenues to build a truly Nigeria owned, home grown, internal and external rebranding machinery called the New Nigeria Club. We have gone to over 20 higher institutions, addressed over 50,000 Nigerians offline, millions online, we have reached beyond the phyiscal boundaries called Nigeria, to Nigeria and Nigerians in Diaspora – UK, US, Candada, Ireland, e.t.c. We hav been on radio, we have featured on Television, we have branded t-shirts, branded cash cards, wear Nigeria lapel pins, branded CDs and DVDs like Nigeria’s map, we have sponsored events, sponsored atheletes, supported orphanages, given scholarships, empowered people, collaborated with other change agents and done our widows might in achieving a truly New Nigeria.
Brilliant…absolutely brilliant…my prayer is that we will all talk the talk and walk the walk(amen!!!)…our mindesets sure needs to be changed as a nation
I think it will make sense if both organization NNC & the government partner for the campaign…I’m not yet an active member of NNC but this is my view…make the government understand where you’re coming from…the vision, mission and purpose of the NNC…!
Keep the good works as God will strengthen your elbows.
Cheers,
Obinna UniQuehnd
Now i think i have to seriously join NNC… great Job guys
@JesusFreak,
I think the 22nd(Sunday) proposed date is for face to face meeting of NNC members and all who wants to be part of the discussion.
The online conference on skype has not got a proposed date yet as far i can infer from what Deolu wrote, i’m sure very soon he will make public clarification about this, remain blessed.
Deolu, this might sound very extreme, but I feel if the process is wrong from the roots, then all that follows is futility: Personally, Dora Akunyili is a woman I respect, but she’s simply a round peg in a square hole – It’s just a taboo to see such in successful organizations/nations. If she truly believes in moving Nigeria forward, and projecting Nigeria as a serious nation that knows where she’s going, she (Dora) should advocate for a patriotic Information veteran (not necessarily with grey hair) to fill her current post, and let such individual manage all these ideas.
Or, should it be called “Patience” or “Apathy” if we have to wait a year, two years, or a whole four-year term, for our beloved, passionate Dora to learn the basic terms used in the information industry before she even settles down to understanding the TRUE nature of her job? I once heard of a newly appointed Health Minister, who, in an attempt to cut expenses, said buying needles is more necessary than buying syringes.
@ Peter Oluokun
Definitely, plane is faster than snail, but we all know it’s only wise to be sure the plane isn’t malfunctioning.
First, to be fair, I will like to Declare that I’m not an NNC member.
I’m responding to this issue because I joined, read and comment on this blog.
@Deolu, I will say tread with caution!
Nigerian Politicians are a strange breed. I recognise Dora’s achieevement at NAFDAC, but she is an underling minister in a rudderless govt.
This administration needs to prove they truly believe in the Nigeria people before they can ask for our support, I will say you as an individual can advice Dora’s minisry but leave the Club out of it.
If the minister can demonstrate her ability and goodfaith by implementing suggestions passed from us through you then the Club and your readers can acknowledge such.
For an administration that has failed to push for the passage of a Freedom of Information bill. I think trying to give Nigeria a cosmetic image is laughable and should be the least of their worries. Like Tunji said: “if the process is wrong from the roots, then all that follows is futility”
Let Dora come online or offline publicly and state her positions on issues of human rights, freedom of information and other issues of concern to our Generation, she needs to articulate her thoughts about these issues and demonstrate her ability to influence policymakers before she can get my support.
This country is going to move forward, our Generation will progress and we will succeed either this current crop of leaders like it or not, but we refuse to blindly trust those who have deceived and misled us since we were born as Nigerians, I sympathise with Mrs Akunyili, but her Generation needs to re-earn that trust not just take it by asking for it.
We need to stop thinking that we have to support those in Government, that is not patriotism.
Patriotism is looking out for the good of the citizens of your Nation and community. we need to get that fact right for our childrens sake.
Enough of taking BS from politicians who have no care for the average Nigerian.
Hi Deolu,
Great comment from everyone. The NCC has the best interest in mind for our country, but I don’t see us changing things as effective as it should be without some level of Govt. involvement. Perheps this was why she was give the position despite the irrelevance to her field, perheps this was why NCC started. God’s counsel are not ours, we should look for ways to benefit our country through such partnership.
She is a different politican I guess, we must seek the participation of Branding consulting firm and involve them for strategy.My young but eventful adventure into the brand world has exposed me to see that there cannot be rebranding without professional brand consultant who understand the demands of the project.
The strategy must capture an exist plan peradventure things go foul so the intergrity of NCC can still be preserve the intergrity of NCC.
I agree with you my chairman.I think what Nigeria actully needs now is the re-orientation of its people.
@ Olumide Akinkugbe
You mean Deolu should be our(NNC) spokesman/representative to Ministry of Information? If that’s the case then NNC is indirectly involved. Unless Deolu goes in his name and not NNC’s.
@ Ifects
I’m not an NNC member but my humble advice is that Deolu should represent HIMSELF if he is so inclined and not the organisation at this time, except if NNC and Deolu are the same.
Left to me, Dora should deal with her ministry and prove she can perform on the job first by working for the passage of a FOI bill and calling out those visionless legislators who refused to pass that important bill.
This new adventure at Image repair will not work Until Nigerians know they have a right to ask questions and get convincing answers. It will not work until we demand and acquire the rights to scrutinize our representatives and public servants. Image is the least of our problems.
I do not believe Dora needs NNC to do her job if she knows what she is doing.
The federation needs repair, our laws needs repair, our values needs to be re-examined and re-taught. I do not believe that this administration has the political will or capital to do these things.
yes, I’m skeptical, because everytime I look at the foundation of this present crop of leaders, I become more convinced that this is another adventure doomed to fail.
If the foundation is faulty, the house will wobble and crumble.
@olumide akinkugbe,
you’ve spoken well, and i strongly second your opinions.
mr D, its a good thing if the government of the day is stretching forth a hand of invitation to the NNC to be a part of the ‘change’, that is if the ‘change’ is actually taking place o. There is absolutely nothing wrong if we are called upon to come and contribute our own quota to the development of our nation’s image, honestly its a welcome development. But don’t lets forget that ‘eleru nii gbe nibi t’o wuwo’ meaning ‘its the owner of the load that carries the heaviest part’. if Dora and her colleagues sees a need to rebrand Nigeria’s image abroad, let’s wait for them to take a serious and commited lead, then we follow them with every possible means to suport them. Dont forget that Nweke Jr. did his own rebranding during Obasanjo’s regime and we have nothing to show for it today. Its so obvious that our government lack dilligence, they lack continuity. When they came in, we all thought they will continue with the previous administration’s programs, not knowing we are in for the biggest shocker of the century! I wouldn’t want us to be part of a wild goose chase venture only to end up with nothing but critizism from well meaning Nigerians. Let us wait for Dora and her boss to make a public declaration of their intention, and then we’ll know where to come in. As for now, let NNC continue with the little help we are rendering to the less priviledged in the society; let us continue with the reorientation campagn that we’ve been involved in; let us continue being dilligent with the little that’s been committed into our hands and wait patiently for the appropriate time for us to be appointed as masters over many. May God help us
Long Live NNC!
Long Live Nigeria!
@ Olumide Akinkugbe
Well understood.
@Deolu
Kudos for the progress of NNC so far. If only more people will take just one step to help repair Nigeria’s battered image we will make more progress.
Too many Nigerians have allowed themselves to be overwhelmed by the complexity of our present troubles to the extent that they fail to see the brighter future that lays ahead.
In my candid opinion, NNC should support and work WITH Pro. Akinyuli because she has a track record that cannot be disputed.
As for “The Go Slow System” in place, we should not bother about that. Afterall, with or without Government, we have already made up our mind to contribute our individual QUOTA in making Nigeria a great country.
As long as we don’t work FOR the government, we cannot be POCKETED. So, go ahead full throttle, you’ve got our support. Cheers.
I remain proudly Nigerian!
It has started. Haha it has indeed started. I have always known that until Jesus got into the hands of the then leaders of the jewish faith, Christianity was not ready to be born. Yes…until the creme de la creme of Nigerian politics understand and hold the ideas of the vision of a new Nigeria from a passionate view point. Nigeria may not have good leaders. Am overly happy and i hope this turns out very well. I will try and download skype in my system so that i can be part of the new Nigerian conference.
God bless u Deoulu.
hello, chairman, long time, i have been very busy, concerning the topic, i believe this is the whole essense of the campaign, so PLEASE LETS GO THERE AND SHOW THEM HOW ITS BEEN DONE. lets work with the government !!!!!!!!!!!!
The project of re-branding Nigeria is an all effort one for all Nigerians as a wake up call that there’s troble as we are being projected & represented outside.I was to enter the competition with a slogan that reads ” SEE NIGERIA & DIE,FOR THERE’S NOTHING MORE TO SEE”
Nigeria is a solid ground to stand on as a market,democracy,its people & diversity etc.
Sincerely, I pray Nigeria gets it this time for our collectiv goal. Akunyili cant do it all alone, she just set the ball rolling for us to gather the musk. Love, Frank Ebikefe.
Hi egbon. Nice 2 witnes NNC dvlpt so far. Lost tune with u for a period. Bak 4 real. Pls n plssss, NNC shud not only work wit Min of infos rebrandin crusade but shud also flow into it.Dse ocean waves viz NNC, GEMSTONE,etc r positivly inspired n d move of d min by Prof Dora is divinely n timely orchestrated regardles of wat pessimists or saboteurs say.Sanballat, Tobiah n Geshem did worse against Nehemiah n other Israelites wen they decided to rebuid n even durin d course of rebuildin their nations broken walls.D issue of uncertainty about their seriousnes is not a big deal. Pls, wen a light bulb is introduced to a dark hall, can someone tel me wat happens? An athlete’s foot is preservd againt unnecessary hurt dat cud cost a whole nation an olympic gold medal. A modelz pretty face is saved d possibly irrevocable loss of sellability. Someone right there in d hall myt b saved d regrettable n human resources- depletin physiological delayed wakefulnes dat often xtises a black-out mornin. Now imagine wat ‘salvation’ one mor bulb wil giv. I thnk dat one mor bulb is NNC,GEMSTONE, me, other positive Nigerian youths out there. These old men n women of 2day will soon leave or better put r already leavin. We, d underated Nigerian youths r d real GOOD NIGERIANS dat will metamorphose in2 d GREAT NATION. God heal me, God heal u, God heal Nigerians, God heal Nigeria. Watch out for WINBOX from d stables of tognetwork.
i will only advice that the minister makes the NNC the pilot or worst still co pilot because i believe in the originality of NNC and will not want to see anybody trample on what Deolu has built all this years. the dream is the NNC’s and nothing changes that. secondly do not forget that the MINISTRY is not Dora’s so it prone to the influence of those devilish people( Nigeria’s idiamin’s ) so pls let NNC thread softly to abvoid compromise even though it’s one of “our” core values.
I believe in this Re-branding thing. I believe in the different perspectives to it. I hope my comment is not coming rather too late. Anyway let me still say something.
“The branding will only make sense if the people of our nation are also touched in the process” I believe that what we are re-branding is not just the name or logo or colour but the people that bears the logo, the name should be re-branded, a positive orientation. We need to see a New Nigeria from a new perspective. The Nigeria of our dream, not minding the present shape of things. Yep! someone mentioned Government involvement, if the Government is sincere with what they said, there are 1 million and 1 Nigerians ready with good motive to Re-brand Nigeria. We just need a good leadership focus, leadership with good motives, some people do good things for selfish motives.
back tot he question about Government involvement with NNC, my advise is look before you leap. this whole system still need to convince me of readiness for the change we desire. We can present our scope and module operandi, let’s see how it goes.
I am by name Chibuike Iroegbu from Isiala Ngwa North L.G.A of Abia State Nigeria.I am 20 years old and an undergraduate of Ebonyi state University.I am a devoted Christian.As part of the re branding Nigeria Project,I wrote a very powerful book through the revelation a got for the future of my beloved country Nigeria and the world at large titled “CHRISTIANS IN A POLITICAL WORLD”.The book is yet to be published and is ready for printing but i don’t have sponsors to help me publish the master-piece as i came from a financially challenged family.I write in request for an assistance to enable me publish the master-piece meant for every Nigerian who want the peace of the country and particularly the true Children of God who are both passively and actively in politics and also those who are aspiring to be the true ambassadors of Jesus Christ here on earth especially Nigerians.I will also want to be a member of re branding Nigeria club as i believe so much in Nigerian’s bright future and what GOD have for us in this country.I look forward to hearing from you as no help is too small for the actualization of this master-piece.

As for the initiative of our excellent mother Dora Akunyili,i believe that it is going to be what many Nigerians are waiting for in this country Nigeria.We are going to go places with well meaning Nigerians like her.The fact is that we are trying as a country and our leaders are alos trying their best for the country but we can not make any meaningful impact if we do not start with ourselves first.Change is some thing that comes from inside and it requires change from the changer first then the people will not even have any other option than to join the train.We are going places very soon because the world will soon come to get wisdom from Nigeria because god is raising Men who have understanding of the time and what Nigerian is expected to know and do just like Men of Issachar in the bible.God bless Nigerians and our mother Prof Dora Akunyili
GIVE ME FEW DAYS, I WILL GIVE YOU A SOLUTION THAT WILL LAST
If I ask you, what type of country will you consider ideal and most desirable for you as a citizen? You may give myriads of list like this:
1: A country whose leaders at all levels are a people of positive character which comes after the fear of God because the fear of God produces good character and begins wisdom.
2: A country that is a standard to what development should look like for the rest of the world because development leads to man-power.
3: A country whose citizens are knowledgeable in their various disciplines and diligence is their watchword, for it is only a diligent man in his business that can stand before kings in the world.
4: A country that will bring investors from all over the world thereby contributing the required annual budget for the nation.
5:A country where education will be valued most as where development of man-power starts and where people will study to show themselves approved as workmen that needed not to be ashamed but rightly doing what they know best.
6: A country whose citizens are in high demand by the world, in the labor market, and whose graduates will stand with graduates from Cambridge, oxford, Harvard and show their inner strength.
7: A country where killing, bribery and corruption will become so afraid of and love will be happy with. Love covers all things
8: A country whose major focus is on innovation, renovation, re-branding and where peace, unity and progress flow from the throne room of God.
9: A country that rewards creativity, knowledge, handwork and where transparency, equity are used in judgment rather than credentials, influence and tribalism or “He come from my state syndromes”.
10: A country that prepares Men, embarks on continues improvement, produces Men who will be ready to adapt to the ever-changing world.
For a country to achieve meaningful development, be universally accepted and to be a lender to the world, then there should be commitment in the investment in Man-power training and development and Man-power utilization which comes from dedication to service, mercy and truth. For mercy and truth preserves the king and his throne is upheld by mercy. When the spirit of God is in the heart of Man, development starts for the spirit of Man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
A developed nation is a consequence of a developed people. A re-brand nation is a consequence of a re-brand people which starts from a re-brand mind, re-brand conscience and in turn will bring out a brand new country. Take it from me; Development does not come by being a consumer of technology, consumer of wealth but its producer. The wealth of a nation is our intellectual capital.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: God’s leading frequently does not fit our expectations. Although this may cause us some confusion and frustration, we should never forget that HE always has our best interest in mind .Realizing this will help us handle his surprises with less fear and greater trust.

LOOSENING THE MASK TO GET A CHANGE
Full self-disclosure is something we tend to avoid at all costs.
In fact, we are prone to keeping people out of our private worlds by
wearing masks-not physical masks, but psychological ones.
Some of us wear an “I’m tough” mask so that others won’t see how weak and frightened we are.
Many of us display an “I’m corrupt mask, which makes
the world brand everybody from our country as corrupt and dirty.
The “I can handle anything “ mask is another one that we commonly put on.
Behind it, we may feel bewildered and hurt, but this mask makes
these emotions practically undetectable by others.

Are these cover-up games worth playing? Certainly not. How could a life
characterized by phoniness, loneliness and slavery to a lie ever compare to one marked by honesty, companionship and freedom to live the truth? The latter lifestyle is the one God wants us to have, It is the one that will bring us closer to change and when we are in close relationship with change, development becomes inevitable.

Prof Dora Akunyili started well,but later she diverted to a great danger that cannot be trusted anymore.She knew what am saying.Forget how she hide under the sickness of late President Yaradua to redeem her tainted image,she probably knew that d game was up for Yaradua,so she seized the moment.I once saw this woman eyes-ball to eyes-ball,i knew all the praises about her ‘re mere costmestics make-up.
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation however I find this matter to be really something which I believe I’d by no means understand. It seems too complicated and very wide for me. I’m looking ahead on your next publish, I will try to get the grasp of it!
It is in point of fact a great and useful piece of information. I’m glad that you shared this useful information with us. Please stay us informed like this. Thank you for sharing.
