Our Vision
Taking from the government what should have never been the government’s responsibility and giving it back to the people. A willing participation will be maximally beneficial and better handled if the people can keep themselves in check. If you are conscious it is directly your money keeping the homeless out of the streets, keeping the disabled and helpless from begging for scraps, keeping the poor from rummaging in bins, empowering the needy, managing public toilets and curbing open defecation – if you are aware this is your money not one forcefully taken from you in form of taxes you have little ability to sue for mismanagement or direct its operation – there will be better trust in the community, more reason to behave properly, more loyalty and love for your fellow countrymen that would look after you if you were in need.
Our vision and principle is that the destitute of our community have been left behind despite their unfortunate state’s capacity to define our self-image, self-esteem.
That the poor are not directly entitled to the resource of those who can help others but the privileged should look out for them because the state of their group affects their identity, self-image and self-esteem.
That the poor should be placed on food stamps, empowered and educated, the disabled be put on disability payments, that some welfare hospitals should be privately managed, that the homeless be housed and so on…
Our Mission
Help people, get our people out of the dirt and restore the dignity of our people, demonstrate that we are capable of holding our own down.
What we hope to achieve is the reorganisation of Yoruba people, reminding us all of our individuality, our capacity and sense of responsibility. We are enough.
Obafemi Awolowo wrote in his autobiography about Yoruba’s people tendency towards self-reproach, self-condemnation. This is a product of low group-image or group esteem inextricably resulting in low self-esteem only caused by observed concave states of one’s group. High achievement is intricately linked to high self-esteem. People with low self-esteem do not even bother trying the impossible. People need to stand in an upright estate to embody what their cultural philosophy defines to be what it means to be human. So, human identity is linked to group image, self-esteem and the observable state of your group.
