Welcome Message
Our goal is to provide a proactive platform for progressive minds to critically analyse development issues confronting Nigeria and by extension Sub-Sahara Africa with the view to articulating viable solutions to improve living conditions and well-being for all. Sub-Sahara Africa is in desperate need of structural transformation of its political, social and economic institutions in order to adequately cater for its population and create a more prosperous, equitable just society. Nowhere is this need more urgent than in Nigeria with a rapidly growing population of about 200 million that constitutes 15% of continent's total population. Despite its enormous oil wealth and earnings, Nigeria currently unbelievably records the highest incidence of extreme poverty in the world. What a paradox! What a shame! Never, has a country that is given so much, have so little to show for it. Nigeria is today emblematic of Africa's post-independence dismal performance and resultant stunted socio-economic development despite being endowed with huge and unbounded human and natural resources. The country has unfortunately become the poster-child for mass poverty, endemic corruption, resource mismanagement and wasted opportunities and growing inability to protect lives and property of its citizens. Never has the need for social change been more desperate.
Townhall Radio joins the increasingly strident voices within the sub-region that seek to reject this tragic post-independence narrative. We can no longer be contented with the current mediocre existence that is predicated on poor leadership and complicit indolent followership. The people of Nigeria and indeed Africans must rise up from the current doldrums to eschew crippling conventions, mediocrity and ignorance. We must resolve to join the rest of the world in growth and development to enable better living conditions for our people. At Townhall Radio, we firmly believe that when people band together and form organisations to focus their collective power, social change can happen. We are at a critical point, where we can either choose to swim or sink. Our fate rests squarely and solely in our hands. It's therefore within our power to advance the change we need and desire. And the time is now for he who awaits for dead men's shoes is in danger of going barefoot! It is this belief that inspires us to commit towards the effort to galvanise for much-needed genuine social change.
Our platform is development-oriented. We are committed towards rigorous articulation and documentation of viable solutions to our numerous societal development challenges at the level of the nation State, at the local community level and at the level of the individual respectively. We are also committed to giving voice to the voiceless with our social justice advocacy agenda. We also commit to pushing for a more proactive volunteer culture, where our community are encouraged to individually and collectively articulate and undertake beneficial social intervention actions aimed at improving living conditions especially for the less fortunate.
If you share similar aspirations, it is our desire that you join and support us in this effort. As a collective, we need to reset our development trajectory. We need to radically improve our current dire living conditions and offer our children and future generations a better competitive survival chance. Rev. Ralph Abernathy was famed to have said - "If you see a good fight, get in it. And fight to win it." We sincerely hope that you find value here. And if you like what you see, please endeavour to share with others. Together, we are stronger!
