I joined the lightupnigeria movementon Twitter for the first time today and I enjoyed. It so happened that there was a march to the state house as well and we were able to get updates as well as pictures on how it went.
I must say that I am proud of us. I was once told that this movement wouldn't make any progress maily for the fact that all we Nigerians do is complain and do nothing to seek a change. Today, those people were proven wrong. They will see that not only do we want change, we want it now.
I saw thousands clad in their lightupnigeria branded tshirts both in green and White colours and I felt elated that we are not sitting behind the comforts of out desks and pasting lightupnigeria in our every tweet
Now that this step has been taken, it is not for us to become complacent and do nothing anymore neither shall we sit back and wait for God knows how long for a response to be given to us. It is our right and we demand it. It has become ridiculous and too long accepted. We have to do something about it. We need to get to the bottom of it.
I know I don't have any solutions, not anything that fellow blogger Solomonsydelle has not mentioned nor the many other people. But I know that I'm ready to be a part of change.
Are you?

Oh I was going to do a post on this too....They LightupNigeria is trying sha I really give them kudos ...it's not easy to start a campaign like that...
Love that you spreading the word, I would check it out later on. Hope all is going great, miss ya.
I was so excited to see that picture that you linked to via twitter since I hadn't even heard there was a walk. The turnout looks amazing! I think you said it all in your post. I pray that this will be the beginning of something big, and those in a position to make things happen will step in.
