The RevNig Movement (RevNig) is reaching out to the millions of Nigerians in the diaspora to join the movement in its mission to lessen the misery Nigerians are facing back home. The more than estimated ten million Nigerians overseas can decide who governs the nation if they come together to act and speak in unison.
Though Nigerians abroad are disenfranchised by those who fear the difference their votes will make, they still can reach out to dependants: family, friends, employees, kins and the likes–back home.
Suppose each Nigerian in the diaspora persuades at least two unregistered or unenthusiastic dependants back home into registering and voting. In that case, the more than 10 million Nigerians overseas could influence over 20 million voters back home. That is about five million more votes than the votes that won the All Progressives Congress (APC) the presidency in the 2019 presidential election.
Fellow Nigerians in the diaspora, your more than $24b yearly remittances are the lifeblood of the Nigerian economy. While you bring in your hard-earned money into the country, our so-called leaders, on the other hand, take out the nation’s resources abroad: Carting away resources that would have complimented your remittances to improving the wellbeing of Nigerians. It is time you diasporans played a significant role in shaping Nigeria’s future. A prominent role will lessen the burden you all face abroad: having to enslave yourselves to make ends meet besides satisfying the yearnings of those you left back home.
RevNig urges you diasporans to embrace the 20 million+ voters force ideal of the movement and call on at least two home-based Nigerians to join the movement. You all should prompt the unregistered Nigerians to go and register to vote. You must help persuade the registered voters who never go to the polls on election day, making them understand that the only way to relieve ourselves of dubious leadership is to vote for responsible leaders. You should also call on the regular voters, urging them never again to be deluded by the deceits of politicians — broken promises and failed hopes; that it is time to elect responsible leaders to serve us.
Though you diasporans are non-voters, no one prevents you from vying for elective positions or appointments. We urge Nigerian professionals overseas who are ready to serve their fatherland wholeheartedly, to join forces with intellectuals back home to form a responsive and responsible government-in-waiting. A new set of leaders prepared to offer selfless service to their fatherland – from ward to federal level.
Fellow Nigerians, it is high time we fixed our country. If we overhaul our country, there will be no need to seek greener pasture abroad. Never again must you stay aloof while a group of touts – so-called leaders – destroys our fatherland.
Join us now!
