People's Parliament

Let the people talk. Then let the people act.

Many call for Nigeria's break-up; others are too optimistic about how great Nigeria has become. We use reason to dissect both sides — with informed citizens who challenge every idea.

The format

How a session works

  1. The motion

    A single question of national importance, announced in advance.

  2. The panel

    Experts who can address the issue dispassionately and articulately.

  3. The floor

    Citizens question, challenge and add evidence — live.

  4. The action

    Every session ends with things each of us can do next.

Featured session

Nigeria is a land of possibilities, but we need to articulate this in a way that sells Nigeria as the land of opportunities.
