Townhall Radio Welcome Message

June 23, 2022 admin 0 Comments

Townhall Radio is a content network dedicated to mobilising for constructive social change. We provide a proactive platform for examining development issues bestriding Sub-Sahara Africa. And articulating viable solutions to improve living conditions for all.

There is a desperate need for basic institutional transformations in Sub-Sahara Africa. Institutional reforms are needed to cater for the continent’s rapidly growing population. Nowhere is this need more urgent than in Nigeria. With a young population of over 200 million, Nigeria is about 15% of the continent’s population. It is an oil-rich country, yet it currently records the highest incidence of multi-dimensional poverty in the world. What a paradox! What a shame! Never, has a country that is given so much, had so little to show for it. Nigeria is emblematic of Africa’s post-independence dismal performance and stunted socio-economic development. Despite being endowed with huge and unbounded human and natural resources. The country is now a poster child for mass poverty, endemic corruption, insecurity, etc.  Never has the need for social change been more desperate.

Townhall Radio joins the growing strident voices to reject this tragic post-independence narrative. We can no longer be contented with the deteriorating poor conditions of living. Our leadership problems are compounded by complicit indolent followership. We must rise to eschew corruption, mediocrity and other crippling conventions. We must resolve to join the rest of the world in development to enable better living conditions for our people.

Social change can be achieved when people band together and form organisations to focus their collective power. It’s within our power to advance the change we need. We are at a critical point, where we need to swim or sink. Our fate is in our hands. And the time is now. He who waits for dead men’s shoes is in danger of going barefoot! It is this belief that inspires us.

Townhall Radio platform is development solution-oriented. We are committed to interrogating viable solutions to our development challenges. We advocate for a basic shift in mindset that is necessary to achieve the change we need. We are also committed to empowering the people and giving a voice to the voiceless. We will encourage proactive social intervention actions to assist those in need.

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 living conditions. And to offer our children and future generations better opportunities, equipped to compete with the rest of the world. We join our voice to that of Rev. Ralph Abernathy – “If you see a good fight, get in it. And fight to win it.”

We hope that you find value here. And if you do, endeavour to share with others.  Together, we are stronger!
