- We’re discussing “SHIFT!” Now that we know the many problems, what things can we do to create fundamental SHIFTS in Nigeria? #NewNigeria #
- @jedidiahsos, I think we should borrow from mathematics and start from ‘known’ to ‘unknown’. We’d start from what we CAN do NOW #NewNigeria #
- Care to shed more light, @jedidiahsos? It’s also important for everyone to add value beginning with their area of expertise. #NewNigeria #
- Welcome @allismiling, @imab. Now that we know the many problems, what things can we do to create fundamental SHIFTS in Nigeria? #NewNigeria #
- Do you think we can achieve critical mass using channels like this? There’s a parallel physical meeting holding weekly in Lagos #NewNigeria #
- Thanks for joining in, @oyebisi, @rosanwo, @abiolaalabi @naijand @eolutosin. We’re discussing the much-needed ‘SHIFT!’ #NewNigeria #
- Thanks @rosanwo, we’re very connected with the daily, weekly, monthly, physical meetings hosted by #NewNigeria Club. We’ll exchange notes. #
- Welcome @kstuntmedia. @oyebisi, August 12 will be a good avenue, we need that and as many more as possible. Any plans? #NewNigeria #
- Meanwhile the journey towards 2011 is on. We must mobilise for registration, verification, voting, monitoring, postelection, etc #NewNigeria #
- Physical meeting on, just read from @deoluakinyemi. Notes from FaceBook: ‘Reaching out to young Nigerias is not the problem but DEDICATION’ #
- FB: … in trying to profer solutions we must first have knowledge on how to deal with specific problems. #NewNigeria #
- Frm FB: For instance, what does the law or constitution say about Power (electricity). Does this make sense. #NewNigeria #
- FB: Our first step would be arming ourselves with copies of the constitution.Protecting ourselves from sabotage via knowledge. #NewNigeria #
- Welcome @AlexUmole. May I propose that we continue discussions even after the 1-hour group discussion each Sunday at 4pm? #NewNigeria #
- Please keep the hashtag, #NewNigeria, in your posts on this topic at any time. We’ll compile and discuss further on August 9 @ 1500 GMT #
- @eolutosin, it appears the central issue we’re looking at now is the need to ‘SHIFT’ from the many problems. Kick-starting today #NewNigeria #
- Thanks, @rosanwo. It’s 4pm Nigerian time or 3pm GMT. Hope it’s not too late in Ukraine? #NewNigeria #
- @AlexUmole, we may need all those meanings at this stage 🙂 Things have gone really awry and we must create a fundamental shift! #NewNigeria #
- True, @abiolaalabi. Let me try to summarise take-aways from today’s chat: (1) Need for critical mass (2) Realistic progress #NewNigeria #
- #NewNigeria: (3) Being role models ourselves (4) August 12 idea (5) Identify problems and profer solutions (6) Determination and sacrifice #
- And on a lighter note, courtesy of @AlexUmole: we need to have ‘Fight to Finish’ (F2F) meetings! LOL. #NewNigeria #
- The chat continues but we’ll take it from our summary and discussion outcomes from the offline Lagos meeting same time next week #NewNigeria #

- @AshokaTweets I’m interested in what people consider the DRIVERS of rural innovation in India and African countries. Mobile would be one in reply to AshokaTweets #
- The law of ‘technology demand’ and ‘expertise supply’ come to play in which countries see innovation advances. #SocEntChat #
- There appears to be some form of disconnect between these two in certain countries, hence slowed activity in rural innovation #SocEntChat #
- There’s the tendency that expertise is applied towards most profitable sectors while assuming that rural innovation lacks reward #SocEntChat #
