Nigerians in Diaspora (Better Nigeria, USA) advocates dialogue between Nigerian youths and FG
An international advocacy group of Nigerians in The Diaspora, Better Nigeria (USA) has given a note of advice to the protesting Nigerian youths to allow for a broad based dialogue between them and the President Muhammadu Buhari led Federal Government.
The group in a communique signed by their spokesperson, Dr. Fatima Lawson from Minnesota stressed that Nigerian youths have made their voices heard not only in Nigeria but around the world about the series of denials of human rights going on in Nigeria.
Ms. Lawson noted that Nigeria is at the crossroads and if it is agreed that the future belong is to the youth, then leaders of government business in Nigeria must listen to the of demands and take heed. “I ask myself whether we have any better option given our current track record. Clearly, we have failed these youths and run the risk of robbing them of a potential bright future. It is time for all well meaning Nigerians and leaders to rally behind them and do the right thing, ” Lawson pleaded.
A member of the group from China, Barr. Justina Ajala in her contribution said some of the Nigerians abroad would have loved to join the protest but for the distance. She advised the youths to stay focused and be consistent until their demands are met. ” I believe the Police reform is just one of the many demands from the government but at least the youth are no longer in deep slumber about their rights as Nigerians,” Barr. Ajala added.
The PRO of Better Nigeria, resident of Michigan in The United States, Chief Fidelis Okoye insisted that police brutality as a matter of urgency must stop all over Nigeria . He demanded that all the Police officers culpable in the killing of unharmed youths must be made accountable as this will assuage the feelings of unrest among the youths.
Dr. Abiola Oshodi , Regional Director , Better Nigeria, Canada in his own opinion said, ” as we start to find a peaceful and meaningful pathway to end the widespread protests, it is suggested that Federal Govt carry out a total overhauling of the Police structure and ensure a new leadership is put in place to execute the police reform of government. Government should also set up truth and reconciliation Commission to investigate police brutality over the past twenty years and recommend appropriate compensations to victims and their families.
“Government should engage the youths in meaningful and far reaching dialogues so that policy papers and reform ideas that are implementable are encouraged.”
In the opinion of Mr. Niyi Falayi, Regional Director Better Nigeria, United Kingdom, the group supports the on going Protests and will appreciate Government’s gesture of seeking prompt solution to the challenges that resulted in the EndSARS Protest. ” We hope Government will start and complete the much needed police reform and invite the youths to contribute their ideas,” Niyi Falayi noted.
The Chairman, Better Nigeria, Dr. Salewa Olafioye, who is based in Michigan said Nigerian youths have shown resilience so far, therefore Federal Government should dialogue with the youths. ” We want our youths to enjoy peace in their father land. We want police brutality against the youths to end. We want Government to quickly meet with the youths and give them assurances that their demands are looked into,” Dr. Olafioye added.
Better Nigeria is the largest independent Nigerian organization in The Diaspora committed to global peace, youth empowerment and employment as well as infrastructural development.

“What I did then as a State Legislator when I served my People at Ado Odo/Ọta 1 Constituency is the example of what I will do if I give opportunity to represent Ogun West at the Federal Level
Honorable Aina says,
Just like Distinguished Senator Adeola Yayi, I facilitated numerous “legacy projects” across my Constituency. I also personally funded people-oriented projects aimed at improving the daily lives of my people.
These visible achievements, delivered during my time as Member Ogun State House of Assembly from 2011–2019, are still standing strong across Ota State Constituency 1 till today.
As a grassroots politician who understands how to attract development and influence decisions in favour of his people, I’m fully prepared to take that same quality representation to Ogun West Senatorial District.
As progressive APC members in Ogun West, the time has come to rally behind a candidate who can sustain the standard and performance Distinguished Senator Adeola Yayi has brought to our district. Which is me, says – *Hon. Aina Akinpelu.*
