A Nigerian nation and African Continent where participatory democracy is still the exception than the norm and where where political activists and human rights campaigners are regularly persecuted, jailed and killed for daring to broaden the public discourse on participatory democracy and encourage a more democratic society where the leaders are committed to serving the best interests of their constituencies and not self centered/interested in perpetuating the status quo of endemic poverty, under development, chronic human rights abuses, abuse of office, unending civil strives, uneducated/unenlightened populace, exclusion from opportunities for socio economic advancement, a voiceless and dispossessed citizenry. Target audience:- Nigerians and Africans on the African Continent and Diaspora.

Modus operandi:- Creative and proactive use of all my social networking platforms (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Blog, Pinterest, etc) to reach out and network/interact with Keystakeholders in the target audience to promote workable ideas about sustainable human and community development alongside participatory democracy and responsive, responsible and accountable leadership which pursues the best interests of their followers and nations.
1) Using my social media platforms, I contributed to ensuring that the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria was honored after the sudden demise of former President Sheu Yar'Adua and a succession crisis was about to break out. 2) Using my social media platforms, I contributed to quickly ending the post election violence that erupted in Nigeria after the election of Goodluck Jonathan as President. 3) Using my social media platforms, I have been mounting a vigorous one man campaign for leadership accountability and responsiveness in Nigeria and other African countries. 4) I used my social media platforms to mount pressure on the United Nations to ensure that a Rwanda like genocide was not repeated in Libya when Libyans in Benghazi rose up to demand for democratic reforms. 5) I used my social media platforms to link up with Egyptians during and after their uprising which put and end to the Hosni Mubarak's dictatorship. 6) Using my social media platforms to interact with the new leadership in Egypt to prevent the emergence of an Islamic dictatorship which limits the rights of Egyptians with different religious views/believes. 7) Using my social media platforms to engage the leaders and people of Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Gambia, etc to catalyze an orderly transition to participatory democracy 8) Using my social media platforms to interact/network with key stakeholders involved in the unending Congo DR crisis towards finding a sustainable solution to the crisis which has destabilized the country and caused the death of over 6 million Congolese 9) Using my social media platforms to catalyze and mobilize support and global publicity for the Occupy Nigeria movement which attempted to spread the Arab Spring to Nigeria. 10) using my social media platforms to mobilize support and global publicity for Occupy Senegal during their quest to stop former President Diouf from contesting again and broadening Senegal's democratic sphere
Peers:- fellow activists (political, human rights, community, etc) and enlightened youths/community members engaged in the quest for advancing participatory democracy, sustainable development, community and human empowerment, etc Competitors:- Status quo oriented leaders (public, traditional, etc), some citizens who don't believe anything better than what currently obtains can be achieved. I hope to collaborate with peers to quantum my impact and reach. I expect continued opposition from competitors including possible grievous bodily harm/elimination to preserve the status quo.
