again, i think that we are hammering so much on the word “re-branding” instead of on what the intentions of the propagator is. someone is talking of repainting a spolit car! for Gods sake! the indepth meaning of rebranding is not to patch up what is already spoilt. its to bring about true change and to start seeing ourselves as a good people and a good nation. even from the biblical perspective, you speak health before you see the physicaal manifestation. lets speak good of Nigeria, and soon we will start seeing good in Nigeria. I am a firm believer of the Nigerian dream. are you?

it is really saddening that all we seem to be specialist at, is condemning the efforts of noble Nigerians to bring about change. At least the minster is doing something, why not support her effforts and indeed contribute your own quota to bring about chnage? instead you just sit there and critize. I agree that there are alot of wrongs in our nation. but at least be objective in your reporting. there are also rights in our nation! dont always choose to be myopic and onesided. there is crime on a daily basis in the U.S but people are still scrambling in their millions to travel there. its because of the good self image they portray.Nigerians, let learn to hold dear what we have and most importantly be an agent of change wherever you find yourself, we have no other country to call our own. true change starts from the mindset. the truth is unless we as Nigerians start seeing ourselves as people who deserve respect and dignity, the international community will never take us seriously! there is afterall no crime-free nation in the world.

This is way better but please remove the “Beyonce sings Nigerian anthem”. I don’t see the big deal with her singing the anthem. It’s embarassing that we’re promoting her rendition as if…

I wish our leaders could be sincere and God fearing!I wish they could have pity on the nations’s resources and the people. I wish they could have a sence of belonging in this Nation. Why is it that their Childriend are not schooling in the country? Why is it that they dont treat themselves in the hospitals here in the country? Why always going abroad? Why always going to do things abroad? Cant our country be developed? Have they finally given up on Nigeria? Then when the empty promises during their campains. It is unfortunate that things in this great nation are run as if there are no leaders. Many of our leaders are blindfolded by country’s riches while the poor suffer and die in their poorverty….O Nigerians! My eyes filled with tears, My heart is filled with pain. Please let our leaders start the rebranding, every other thing will change for good. Let them just give it a try. I believe a trial will convince every one.

I agree with you Bulus, that “re-branding” must start from the top! They (the leaders) should show the way by patronizing Nigerian products/services, and reduce the corruption.

i would’ve thought for once that madam Dora has little to offer now than where she were but, for benefit of doubt i think Re-branding has more to do within than outside. Most Nigerians think we have a structure somewhere to Re-brand and ignore change from within which is paramon. Preach Re-branding but most of all say how involve it is with individualls. Nigeria is a nation because of the people, therefore, the people need the change not the structure. Moreso, please tell ur people in govt that change is visible and has to be seen. stealing can be stoped by a theif when he stops the act, untill then he cant.

You talk about rebranding Nigeria? It is not a new thing. The solution for Nigeria very close to us. We must change the way we live, conduct ourselves and all our deals. Roman 12:1-2 have the answer to our problems. If we obey, it then Nigeria is rebranded. But as long as we disobey it, there is no any other formuler that can repare Nigeria!

The re-branding idea is actually in response to the District 9 movie …. right???? I think the the country’s underlying problems should be resolved first, then you can talk about rebranding. Let’s start with power supply. I think a lot of people are TIRED!!!!!!! and FED UP!!!!!! it is so frustrating.
