Log on to http://www.tigblog.org/group/cny and make your voice count.

The Council wants to address the Nigerian problem politically, economically and socially. Taking a look at other Nigerian organizations, most of them are geared toward cultural awareness and, or concerned about promoting their own individual ethnic groups. Some other groups, directed towards dialogue - dialogue about the problems in Nigeria and plausible solutions. The Council differs from them because primarily, it wants to comprise of all Nigerians - representative of the plurality that exists there within, to advocate for the success of Nigeria as a whole, not catering to specific ethnic groups. It is concerned with the overall future of Nigeria and wants to move beyond just dialogue (which is necessary), supplying actions to words; bringing peoples words, ideas, plans to life to benefit the future of Nigeria. The Council, focused toward uniting Nigerian youths toward the above-mentioned ideals, sees the human force – you, as the set goal to actualizing a better, brighter tomorrow.

All suggestions are duly appreciated by the Council with the view that the Board would consider all within the time limit, for the interest of the Nigerian Youth. All Applications considered and applicants accepted will be sent notification if they have been selected to attend the conference by Sunday, October 10th, 2006.

Thanks for the perusal.
