The past 3 months have been filled with intrigues in both the political and economic atmosphere of our nation. We can either choose to sit and pretend that it does not concern us or we can take action. At times like this we all need to play our part by speaking out against all negative actions and most importantly take a stand now.

The New Naija Club has been active in joining hands with the Save Nigeria group to engage in various peaceful demonstrations in Lagos and Abuja as well as in the UK and America. The Save Nigeria Group will be having its inaugural youth summit on Saturday the 27th of march 2010.

We are using this medium to invite all our members who are interested to please register to be a part of the inaugural Save Nigeria Group Youth Summit. The theme of this summit is ‘Creating the Future’ and the leaders of the Save Nigeria Group will be present at the event. We have only 20 slots available and this will be given on first come first serve basis.

In a few more days, the New Nigeria Club will clock 2yrs. It’s been a journey that has been both exciting and challenging. It’s a journey that in two years has added over 10yrs to my life. The quality of learning can fill a book, but today is not a day of details. I know that the average person wants it short and sweet, so I’ll keep this mail to that.

When the New Nigeria club was birthed, I thought it was a club that would help us achieve our objectives, I also thought that I would make some money in the process, with the reward plan, we believed that we had made it capable of rewarding the people who chose to invest in driving it. Little did I know that I would not only not make money, but I would make the biggest financial and service sacrifice of my life till date doing it. It has cost me, and a few people close to me, but it’s not a regreted cost, everything I have lost in cash and time, I have gained in personal value. I am sure that all of us who were actively involved in doing the right things can say the same thing. The New Nigeria Club was not and is not a business and with the help of committed members been stripped of everything that makes it assume the stance of one.

The New Nigeria Club has evolved, but not with as much totality as many people think. While we have done many projects successfully and are yet involved in some others, we have failed woefully in communication. I am deeply sorry about this, and promise that in the year ahead, this will change. Let me use this mail to start and clarify a few things.

Our vision was and still is, to galvanize 5,000,000 people together to be involved in the creation of a New Nigeria, and we are still intent on being involved in the building of the New Nigeria of our dreams.

We have done a lot of projects in Reorientation, Charity, Nation Building, Financial Empowerment, Education and Enlightenment… and we are not about to stop. We have not transformed into a political party, and we are not transforming into a political party. We will merely be involved in ensuring that we are a voice, not a politically silent irrelevant bunch people offering only unsustainable social value. We want to continue doing what we are doing, but also ensure that we can be sought after by people interested in leading this country. We will not change our identity to make this happen, we’ll just ensure that we are a voice… as we always wanted to be.

The New Nigeria Club also promoted a lot of deals for it’s members to participate in. As typical of financial deals, some of them have been awesome, some of them a waiting game and some of them have been outright terrible. Interestingly however, good or bad, I’ve had a bigger share of the joys and the woes than anybody else in the club. Worse, I have even taken on the personal unheard of responsibility of refunding people on some deals that really went bad! The Eko Taxi project for example ended up being a good business in the hands of rogues. I personally still have over 11m of my personal funds with them, but I have almost finished paying all that participated. People don’t share the profits from good deals, but sometimes share the losses of the bad ones. This almost damaged my philosophy of providing regular information about great opportunities I see with people, and simply plugging in myself when I can. I have however just repented, I will make information available, with a disclaimer, so that people can take responsibility as it should always be.

2010 is almost here, and our Club needs to get back into full swing. I must be honest with you, we need a lot of of help, and are not too proud to ask for it.

1. We need volounteers to take care of different aspects of the club. What doesn’t get driven doesn’t get done. We need people to volounteer for the following. A communication Director (to ensure that communication is frequent and regular). We need a membership Director, someone willing to drive renewals and new membership. We need a funding director, someone to work with cSR units of organizations and individuals to keep the club funded. We need a Accountability Project Leaders for – Reorientation Projects, Education and Enlightment Projects, Charity Projects, Nation Building Projects and Political Involvment Projects. Volounteers should please mail me at deoluakinyemi at gmail.com. Please feel free to volounteer, it may be free today, but not for long.

2. We need to agree our key projects for the year. Let’s not start and stop, let’s build around sustainable projects and work towards longterm value adding. We have a few projects already that we already voiced and have started work on. Let’s agree on 3 to work on based on people volounteering to stirr them.

a. Project Save Cynthia – an educational project that helps to train teachers, educate parents and inspire students. This is to make visible impact in the educational system in Nigeria and turn the tide on 87% failure of WAEC and 89% failure of NECO.

b. University and Secondary School NNC Clubs – this is a project to enshrine the values of NNC in students. We keep them together by organizing re-orientation seminars, financial intelligence training and community projects.

c. NNC and NYSC partnership – Collaborate with NYSC to form an NNC group that will do the biddings of the club in each state.

d. NNC Savings Club – We create a basis to encourage ourselves to save towards future investment possibilities. We set a target for ourselves and drive ourselves to achieve it.

e. Project BEST (Political) – We gather funds together to create competitions that cut accross a few sectors. BEST Mechanic provides an opportunity to bond with all Mechanics and add value to them, and celebrate people doing the right things. BEST hairdresser provides a forum for all hairdressers, BEST Tailor e.t.c. This way we are galvanizing people towards improving their lives and securing their votes.

3. We need to renew our membership of NNC. Membership kicked off with N30,000 per year. We have since reviewed it to N3,000 plus donations. This is to allow students and people without much funds to participate as well, while creating different classes of membership. Every NNC members membership has expired, and ought to be renewed. This would make it easy for the projects to be funded.

4. There are a number of exciting opportunities, I have been participating in, without sharing and they have been doing well. You’ll be updated in the next update.

We have come this far, because we believed. We’ll go further as we continue to believe and act based on our beliefs. One thing I can guarantee you though, is that we’ll see a new Nigeria in our life time, and we will not be mere spectators, we’ll be able to say that we believed, and took action!

Kind Regards

I will like to welcome you to the month of December and also wish you a very merry Christmas.
God has indeed been faithful and we give Him thanks. As part of activities to mark the end of year
we are partnering with the Future Movement to take deliberate steps in creating a brighter future
for us all.

We are making an urgent yet necessary call to National Development. A call to redefine the pattern                                            and begin the construction of our future now.

The Project – AREA MAKEOVER PROJECT

The Area Makeover is a 1-DAY community development face-lift program which  will bring about the physical beautification of selected areas of cities by the efforts of up to 5,000 volunteers from within and outside the community. This specifically involves painting of buildings and roadside curbs along the most noticeable and eye-catching parts of the selected streets in an area over a duration of 8 hours NON-STOP. Mushin has been selected to kick off this program.

MUSHIN MAKEOVER:

With the Mushin Makeover project, our mission is to mobilize the donation of painting materials and buckets of paint (in many beautiful colors) as well as raise 5,000 volunteers across Lagos state, all over Nigeria and even beyond, who will dedicate their time and energy towards the goal of beautifying as many streets as possible in the Mushin local government area IN JUST 1-DAY.

The driving objective of this project is to get people to  believe that  they can make a positive change to their environment,

UPDATES AND PROJECT INFORMATION FOR YOUR ATTENTION

About 7-major streets have been identified within Mushin, where this painting beautification project will be carried out. These places were selected based on their visibility to both people living in Mushin and  especially people passing through Mushin town. They include:

1.    AGEGE MOTOR ROAD (From Cappa to Mosalasi)

2.    OLATEJU ROAD (From Vono to Ogunmokun Rd)

3.    OLANIBI/OJEKUNLE (From Daliko Market to Ladipo Junction)

4.    LADIPO (Agege Motor Rd to Oshodi Apapa Expressway bridge)

5.    ISOLO ROAD (From Agege Motor Rd to Daliko Market)

6.    PALM AVENUE/FAFOLU (From Isolo Rd to Agege Motor Road Junction)

7.    OGUNMOKUN ROAD (From Ojunrin to Agege Motor Road)

SCOPE OF PAINTING AND SHORTLISTED COLORS:

The painting will cover the following areas per selected building/ area:

(1). Front (2) Sides of the house (3) Fences (4) Gates (5) Road side curbs on Agege Motor Road.

•Based on the most prominent colors observed during the field assessment carried out last week, the following colors are being considered:

o    Fusche Pink

o    Royal Purple

o    Dazzling Yellow

o    Brilliant Red

o    Turquoise Blue

others include:

1.    Cream

2.    White

3.    Light Blue

4.    Dove Grey

5.    Rich Brown

6.    Leaf Green.

It is agreed that the landlord will have a choice of what  colors they prefer for their houses to be selected from these six (to be reduced to five)

The ratio of Professional painters to Apprentice to Helpers needed to do 10 houses per street is calculated at 1:2:5 (i.e. for every 100 professionals, we would need 200 apprentice and 500 volunteers); this calls for more professional painters as volunteers as well.

PAINT ITEMS REQUIRED:

•    1,400 scrappers

•    1,400 rollers

•    1,400 brushes

•    1,400 masking tapes

•    140 ladders (2 steps & 3 steps)

•    50 gallons of turpentine

•    100 yards of sandpaper

•    70 drums for water storage on streets  to be used for cleaning and washing-up

OTHER RESOURCES NEEDED:

•    5,000 branded face caps

•    1,000 aprons/ overall for those involved in direct painting

•    1,000 gloves for those involved in direct painting

•    5,000 branded T-Shirts

•    5,000 nose masks – 5 for each of those painting

•    One long water tanker

•    70 paint curve hangers

•    2 DJs to play music round Mushin as work progresses inside a music truck

•    2 music trucks

•    2 generators (1 per DJ)

•    7 trucks for paints movement to  different squads on D-day

•    70 water drums (10 per street)

PAINTS REQUIRED:

•    3,600 drums of 20-liter Standard EMULSION paints at an estimated market  price of N6,560 each

•    1,500 gallons of 4-liter GLOSS paints  at an estimated market price of N3,045 each.  These estimates are from DNMeyer paints (currently, our standing Technical  partners on this project)

PROJECT TEAMS:

The strength of this project leans heavily on the critical mass of people available to volunteer and a formidable Logistic plan. To this effect, we have set-up the following implementation teams.

I.    CORE PLANNING AND MONITORING

II.    LOGISTICS, COORDINATION, SECURITY AND TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

III.    MOBILIZATION, REGISTRATION OF VOLUNTEERS AND PROTOCOL

IV.    STORAGE, DISTRIBUTION, COLLECTION AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

V.    PARTNERSHIP AND SPONSORSHIP DRIVE

VI.    MEDIA COMMUNICATION AND PUBLICITY

VII.    DESIGNS AND CONTENT MANAGEMENT

VIII.    TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND ADVISORY

IX.    HEALTH AND SAFETY

For the success of the teams, there is need for the following:

o    Preparedness

o    Order & Organization

o    Clarity despite ‘the appearance’ of confusion.

o    Commitment

o    Team spirit

o    Putting community development objective goals before our personal ambitions

I trust you and your family are well.

For some time now, we have been having a series of brainstorming sessions and consultations
with various individuals who share the passion of seeing a better Nigeria. During this period,
communication to members have been minimal. We apologise for this and will ensure that this
does not repeat itself in the future.

A lot has happened over the past few months that has started a chain reaction in Nigeria.
Never has the need for a change in our attitude and a commitment to the development of our
Nation been more critical.

A number of projects have been designed to help us constructively achieve our objectives.
However, these projects will require the participation of all members. All hands must be
on deck to help us create the future we desire. Details of these projects will be sent to
you as soon as they are ready to run.

Thank you for your time and keep upholding the values of the New Nigeria.

Humble Regards

Ogho Emore

Top of the day to you.

The New Naija Club would like to introduce the “Entrepreneurship Training Program” to her members. This training is being organized by the Masterpiece Resource Development Center (MRDC).

Masterpiece Resource Development Center (MRDC) is a faith based organization that is committed to helping youths discover, develop and deploy their purpose in life with the sole aim of accelerating national development.

MRDC is committed to promoting the philosophy of corporate entrepreneurship, in this regard they are training employees to exhibit the entrepreneurial attitudes of vision, passion, courage, creativity, ingenuity, and commitment in the workplace in order to enhance their performance and the growth of their organization.

Entrepreneurship is a key driver of our economy. Wealth and a high majority of jobs are created by small businesses started by entrepreneurially minded individuals, many of whom go on to create big businesses. People exposed to entrepreneurship frequently express that they have more opportunity to exercise creative freedom, higher self
esteem and an overall greater sense of control over their own lives.

In light of the above, we urge all our members to take advantage of this opportunity and improve their chances of succeeding in an entrepreneurial economy.
