You Got to Love Nigeria ?#?YGLN? is a pride campaign for Nigerians at home and in the diaspora, to use the power of POSITIVE storytelling to unite against the following four common enemies of our nation: Religion. Politics. Tribe. Gender. By so doing, we seek to avert the negative vibes sent out of Nigeria this season of election and unrest without the pretense of ‘all is well’ branding. Like it or not, the negative stories generated by social media about Nigeria will go on to rub off on our self-images around the world.
Stories are more powerful than data because they humanize issues beyond our grasps. There are Nigerians trying to fight insurgencies in their little spaces -online and offline. There are Nigerians trying to live their best lives despite the harsh realities on the ground. There are Nigerians doing amazing things on global platforms of health, entertainment, education and arts. There are Nigerians building up others back home, protecting our young, our women and our elderly ones from harm’s way. There are Nigerians fighting tribal divides, conquering religion fanaticism and affirming of all genders in their policies. These are the stories YGLN seeks to tell.
