Yesterday, I was in Strasbourg, France, to attend sessions at the European Parliament.
While there, I spent the day holding a series of constructive meetings with several members from various committees, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, to the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, to the Members of the Africa-EU Delegation Committee, to the Committee on Transport and Tourism, and Development, amongst others.
I appealed to them to strengthen their relationship with Africa, especially Nigeria, which stands as a key frontier for global development. Africa, as I reiterated, is a continent of immense potential, the second-largest in size and population, richly endowed with natural resources, and powered by a vast, youthful demographic. Yet it remains the face of global poverty, largely because of bad leadership and entrenched corruption, a reality clearly reflected in Nigeria.
I urged them to support the development of Africa, particularly Nigeria, by advancing good governance. This includes supporting our democratic processes in ways that promote the emergence of competent leaders with the capacity and integrity to transform our nations.
I also highlighted how they can support us in addressing insecurity, improving power generation and distribution, strengthening education and healthcare, and lifting our people out of poverty. This is necessary because our success as a nation and the success of Africa have a direct benefit to Europe.
I also underscored the need to invest in and support Nigerian youths who have an immense desire and drive for entrepreneurship and productivity, if well supported, but are now facing despair due to limited opportunities.
Africa and indeed Nigeria can and must work for all and contribute to global developments.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
@Damage_mm@loverbello101@novieverest Show proof that Elumelu had to buy back Femi's 2.6 billion transcorp share at inflated price of ₦2.5 per share for shares that originally worth about ₦0. 5? Or show proof that it took mediators for Femi to accept?
@Futureking624 They still won't see it cos Tompolo has a the Pipeline security contract and the other pig has a license to recruit a private army the the government use to commit atrocities.
@Havsue186476@Fagbohun_AB Feels like he was in competition with his former friend cos each time he complained and his friend didn't patronize him by tabling an even bigger problems than his, he felt a lose.
@NoblepUche@Fagbohun_AB If you're emotionally intelligent, you'd know that everything is not about you. You're just self-absorbed and want people to validate your struggles. I don't owe you that.
@EhisBukason@manuelvwedee Fame and influence intoxicate more than the finest scotch whisky.
In African Christianity, intuition is clothed as holy spirit. Whatever a Preacher feels is what the holy spirit or God is saying to him.
