Omo Naija, e get one group wey dem dey call Narrative Force, and dem don dey scatter ground for political updates wey dey sweet our belle!
This group na correct pressure group wey dey use their power to correct all the fake gist wey politicians dey drop for our heads. Aare Donald Amerijoye, the Director-General of the group, don dey tell us how dem go make sure say Nigerians sabi wetin true for this political matter.
Aare Donald, wey come from Ekiti State, don experience plenty cultures because e don waka from Osogbo to Akure. E don serve under big names like Femi Falana and other big politicians, dey learn the ropes of activism and politics together.
This man get that fight-for-the-right mentality wey make am jump enter politics. As e don waka with Segun Oni and even serve as the secretary for Ikole Local Government, hin don sabi wetin dey happen for ground. E talk say, ‘National issues dey affect our pocket directly, so we no fit just sit down dey look.’
According to am, e don see how local government fit work well, unlike wetin we dey see now where chairmen dey give excuses on top lack of funds. ‘During Segun Oni time, we dey manage the money well and e dey show for our community,’ e yarn.
Narrative Force dey focus on political literacy, meaning dem go teach people wetin dey really happen, no more wahala of misinformation. Aare Donald no wan make young people dey beleive all the wahala wey politicians dey spread again. Na im make dem dey correct narratives wey no make sense.
As dem dey gather youths and people wey wan learn, e talk say dem dey use social media, symposiums, and speeches to reach people. Dem don realize say pepper dey for everywhere, and na only correct information fit help us. ‘We no dey talk party, we dey talk wetin dey happen for our land,’ hin talk.
Dem get big dream wey involve reaching out to more people and informing dem about wetin dey happen so dat Naija go fit move forward. But e no easy, as some people still dey stubborn like mule when dem dey hear facts.
Narrative Force never dey expect money in return; dem just dey want to see say good governance dey for our land, say people wey sabi wetin dem dey do go fit carry the position dem deserve. E be like say dem wan go school for political matter, learning how to engage and interact properly.
As dem dey build this movement, deres still room to grow. Aare Donald dey hopeful say as dem dey correct narratives, people go begin see the light. If Naija youths fit join hand, e go make serious sense!
