THE VOICE FROM WILDERNESS: THE CALL TO ANSWER: GLOCALIZATION

In my practice as a Business and Human Developer; one with unquenchable taste, hunger, huge appetite and special bias for entrepreneurship; Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) Development, I have come in contact with people of different origin, background, orientation, sex and age. Each of the categories offers very “interesting experiences”. They also present different talents, skills, opportunities, and new direction, for Nigeria’s growth and sustainable development. 

If your impression of “interesting experience” includes “challenges” or what most people bemoan and refer to as “difficulties or obstacles”; you are on a jolly ride to GLOCALIZATION: going Global from Local. In case your thought about “interesting experience” is in conflict with the inclusion of “difficulties or obstacles” please contact me after reading this piece. The interface will unveil opportunities for you.

From numerous field operations, activities, programmes and projects, I have observed self-induced nasty habits, orientation and belief which people hold that draw substantially from their struggle to build self and the country. They want to do this without falling short of God’s expectation for their life in the face of escalating pressure from the promoters of modern World. There is are also other mounting challenges due to the absence, inappropriate and inadequate infrastructure and/or other support services.

Among the internal factors, are those self-limiting and self-destructive tendencies, wrong assumptions and misinterpretations that individuals hold that eat deep into the “CAN DO SPIRIT” of every Nigerian Citizen. This self-destructive tendencies, steal from them their vibrancy, creativity and innovation.  The external factors include infrastructures, policies, institutions and the likes. 

Through this platform we will be addressing the internal and external factors limiting the efforts of Nigerians to GLOCALIZE. Our focus is to set the tone and pace for repositioning and galvanizing support for placement and promotion of Nigerian products at the Global arena. We shall follow issues systematically with the relevant bodies. This will be conducted through series of well-designed and well-coordinated advocacy visits and reportage, expected to produce noticeable changes across board.  

It is my belief that you have understood the message of GLOCALIZATION, and have seen the direction to go in this journey of raising a multi-faceted platform where Nigerians from all works of life, especially the youths will converge, close ranks and bridge the gaps that undermine Nigeria’s match to stardom.

Because you care, you are a critical stakeholder of GLOCALIZATION. Rise up, join hands and let’s build this platform. Monitor closely events and situations, take appropriate action if need be and report to us. 

Push until the enforcement of regulations on “local content” is a reality, not the present oxymoron that it looks like.

Just the way we say it here… Be the voice!
