Where 240 million Nigerian youths and graduates fit in the 36 states 774 LGA
Core idea we demand fairness bill from the bottom— and then bill from the top first

Youth jobs in power and broadband projects:
Train and hire young people as technicians, installers, coders, data analysts, and field engineers for mini‑grids, solar, fibre, and Wi‑Fi hubs.

Local ownership:
Allow communities and youth co‑ops to own shares in mini‑grids and local ISPs, so they’re not just customers—they’re stakeholders.
Nigerians demand
Underneath free light and free data Nigerians are really saying:

Respectfully stop lying to Nigerians with slogans

Respectfully stop living in palaces while we hustle in darkness, poverty, bleeding and suffering

If there’s sacrifice, it must start from the top and trickle down to Nigerians This is a humble moral demand, even if the literal everything free in5/2/ 2026 can’t work mathematically.

A pay structure where leaders aren’t on another planet
Core idea: You don’t need everyone to be poor; you need leaders who can’t hide from the reality of ordinary Nigerian life.

Transparent, published pay:
Every kobo of salaries, allowances, security votes, and perks for presidents, governors, senators, ministers should be public and searchable in the global internet

Cap total compensation:
Not “same as a fresh graduate”, but a clear, reasonable multiple—say, no public official earns more than X times the median civil servant.

Tie perks to performance:
No automatic convoys and luxury benefits. Link benefits to measurable outcomes: power availability, school quality, health indicators, etc.

Mandatory public‑service exposure:
Regular, non‑staged visits to public hospitals, schools, and power‑dependent facilities—with no private generators allowed during those visits.
