<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
When you go online you have certain expectations. You expect to be connected to whatever website you want. You expect that your cable or<span id="more-14688" style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"></span> phone company isn’t messing with the data and is connecting you to all websites, applications and content you choose. You expect to be in control of your internet experience.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
When you use the internet you expect Net Neutrality.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Net Neutrality is the basic principle that prohibits internet service providers like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon from speeding up, slowing down or blocking any content, applications or websites you want to use. Net Neutrality is the way that the internet has always worked.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
In 2015, millions of activists pressured the Federal Communications Commission to adopt historic Net Neutrality rules that keep the internet free and open — allowing people to share and access information of their choosing without interference.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
But right now the internet is in peril. On Dec. 14, 2017, the FCC’s Republican majority approved Chairman Ajit Pai’s plan to gut the Net Neutrality protections.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
A former Verizon lawyer and a Trump appointee, Pai ignored the widespread outcry against his plan from millions of people, lawmakers, companies andco public-interest groups.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
We can’t let Pai have the last word on this — which is why we’re calling on Congress to use a “resolution of disapproval” to overturn the FCC’s vote to dismantle the Net Neutrality rules.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Urge lawmakers to reverse the FCC vote today.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
What is Net Neutrality?</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Net Neutrality is the internet’s guiding principle: It preserves our right to communicate freely online. Net Neutrality means an internet that enables and protects free speech. It means that ISPs should provide us with open networks — and shouldn’t block or discriminate against any applications or content that ride over those networks. Just as your phone company shouldn’t decide who you call and what you say on that call, your ISP shouldn’t interfere with the content you view or post online.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The internet without Net Neutrality isn’t really the internet.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
What will happen to the internet now?</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Without the Net Neutrality rules, companies like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon will be able to call all the shots and decide which websites, content and applications succeed.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
These companies can now slow down their competitors’ content or block political opinions they disagree with. They can charge extra fees to the few content companies that can afford to pay for preferential treatment — relegating everyone else to a slower tier of service.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The consequences will be particularly devastating for marginalized communities media outlets have misrepresented or failed to serve. People of color, the LGBTQ community, indigenous peoples and religious minorities in the United States rely on the open internet to organize, access economic and educational opportunities, and fight back against systemic discrimination.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Without Net Neutrality, how will activists be able to fight oppression? What will happen to social movements like the Movement for Black Lives? How will the next disruptive technology, business or company emerge if internet service providers let only incumbents succeed?</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Tell me about the Title II rules we just lost. Why is Title II so important?</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
After a decade-long battle over the future of the internet, in 2015 the FCC adopted strong Net Neutrality rules based on Title II of the Communications Act, giving internet users the strongest protections possible.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Courts rejected two earlier FCC attempts to craft Net Neutrality rules and told the agency that if it wanted to adopt such protections it needed to use the proper legal foundation: Title II. In February 2015, the FCC did just that when it reclassified broadband providers as common carriers under Title II.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Title II gave the FCC the authority it needed to ensure that companies like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon can’t block, throttle or otherwise interfere with web traffic. Title II preserved the internet’s level playing field, allowing people to share and access information of their choosing. These rules ushered in a historic era of online innovation and investment.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The Title II rules also withstood two challenges from industry. Free Press helped argue the case defending the FCC — and on June 14, 2016, a federal appeals court upheld the open-internet protections in all respects.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
We’re now preparing to sue the FCC to restore the Title II rules.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Why is Net Neutrality so crucial for communities of color?</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The open internet allows people of color to tell their own stories and organize for racial justice. When activists are able to turn out thousands of people in the streets at a moment’s notice, it’s because ISPs aren’t allowed to block their messages or websites.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The mainstream media have long misrepresented, ignored and harmed people of color. And thanks to systemic racism, economic inequality and runaway media consolidation, people of color own just a handful of broadcast stations.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
This dynamic will only get worse: In 2017, Chairman Pai demolished most of the remaining media-ownership rules. The lack of diverse ownership is a primary reason why the media have gotten away with criminalizing and dehumanizing communities of color.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The open internet allows people of color and other vulnerable communities to bypass traditional media gatekeepers. Without Net Neutrality, ISPs could block speech and prevent dissident voices from speaking freely online. Without Net Neutrality, people of color would lose a vital platform.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
And without Net Neutrality, millions of small businesses owned by people of color wouldn’t be able to compete against larger corporations online, which would deepen economic disparities.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Why is Net Neutrality important for businesses?</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Net Neutrality is crucial for small business owners, startups and entrepreneurs, who rely on the open internet to launch their businesses, create markets, advertise their products and services, and reach customers. We need the open internet to foster job growth, competition and innovation.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
It’s thanks to Net Neutrality that small businesses and entrepreneurs have been able to thrive online. But without Net Neutrality, ISPs will exploit their gatekeeper position and destroy the internet’s fair and level playing field.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Without Net Neutrality, the next Google or Facebook will never get off the ground.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
What can we do now?</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Congress has the power to reverse the FCC’s vote. Urge your lawmakers to use a “resolution of disapproval” to overturn the FCC’s decision to dismantle the Net Neutrality rules.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The Trump administration is doing everything in its power to clamp down on dissent. If we lose Net Neutrality, it will have succeeded.</div>

10 Months After Tagging Buhari A Two-Faced Tyrant, Actress, Funke Adesiyan Dumps PDP For APC.

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
About 10 months ago, Nollywood actress, <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Funke Adesiyan</strong> was in the news for blasting President Buhari for extending his vacation/medical leave in London indefinitely on Sunday.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
Funke had said then that she’s ‘<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">not disappointed in this egoistic, deceitful, two faced tyrant of a president as I did not vote for him</em>’ – her lambaste was quite controversial, as she even took swipes at leading citizens like, Asiwaju Tinubu, Prof Wole Soyinka, Adams Oshiomole and others.</div>

My journey into politics was borne out of my passion and desire to touch people’s lives positively. Having realised that there was little I could achieve in my private capacity, I decided to put myself in the political landscape of the country. That resolve has never changed. My mission has always been to make life easy for the man next door. While that could not be achieved on a different platform in #2015 due to factors that would not be necessary to delve into at this time; it is my joy to announce today that I am joining the #progressives with the same resolve. My commitment and loyalty to whatever or whoever I believe in is unwavering, unflagging and unflinching. I assure my people of my unalloyed commitment to a life more abundant. This can only be achieved by working side by side with individuals who are also driven by the same passion to achieve an egalitarian society.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />God bless Nigeria<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />God bless Oyo State.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Funke Adesiyan.</div>

Some days ago, Nigerian comedian I Go Dye wrote an open letter via Instagram to former vice-president of Nigeria and a 2019 presidential aspirant, Atiku Abubaka, telling him not to use sentimental empathy on the youths to forward his political ambitions.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
This was due to the fact that when Atiku resigned form APC two weeks ago, he mentioned that the ruling party APC had forgotten about the Nigerian youths.</div>

<script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
Dear I Go Dye,</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
I read your post on Instagram. It was hard to miss it because it was on every major news website. I would like to say that you were mostly right.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
The questions you raised in your post are similar to the ones I have been asked by other young people on social media, so I am replying this not just to you as a person, but to all young Nigerians who have asked similar questions.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
Firstly, you are right. The Nigerian youth have often been taken for granted, and almost every leader in our history has taken young people for granted.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
But it’s important to point how this started?—?for people like me who saw Independence; our leadership was mostly driven by young people.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
Then came the coups, and the civil war, and then more coups. Nigeria ended up with a long period of military dictatorship for many decades, in which time; those young leaders aged, but still remained leaders. Fela, Gani, Enahoro, and Beko were young leaders, yet remained leaders until their demise.</div>
<script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
That was because of the instability brought on by decades of instability.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
By the time we got to 1999, the young people of the day had not been prepared for leadership, because there was no leadership or apprenticeship process under dictatorships.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
This is one of the reasons the age of leaders has continued to rise. That was because of the leadership stagnation brought on by decades of political instability. Imagine a school that did not graduate any students for 5 years, by the time the top class finally graduates, you will have a backlog of undergraduates.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
Our young people are not to blame; we need to remedy this national failure. Last week, there were local government elections in Akwa Ibom State, with over 60% of the seats won by young people, less than 35 years old.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
That’s how progress can be made. Young people need to participate from the grassroots, all the way across board. Appointments are good, but getting elected is even better.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
I also understand the issues around funding elections which keep women and young people out, and I will address this in an article I am publishing soon.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
I do understand your frustration on the issue, however. I tell people my age that to understand young Nigerians, we need to understand the difference between Nigerian and Naija. Naija embodies the hopes and dreams of young Nigerians, the country they love and long to go home to when they are abroad.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
Naija is the country that brings them pride in music, film, comedy, fashion, and technology. It is the country of Wiz Kid, Asa, David O, Tuface, the Olympic bobsled team, Iwobi and Don Jazzy Again.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
Nigeria on the other hand, is the country of their parents, the country where leaders are constantly failing them, of Boko Haram, of herdsmen violence, of recessions and joblessness. Our young people need us to make our country live up to the aspirations of Naija by fixing the problems associated with Nigeria.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
I think it’s important to address the accusation about my tenure as Vice President, that I did nothing for young people. Firstly, as VP, I can only be judged on the responsibilities I was given. A VP obviously is not the driver of government. For example, you can’t blame Prof Osinbajo for all that is going on with the current government. He can only do what he’s allowed to do.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
But let me speak about what you can judge me by, my assigned responsibilities. As VP, I assembled what is arguably the best Economic Team ever in Nigeria. It was made up of young, world class professionals, who came home to work. Some of those professionals are now political leaders, governors and world leaders in their own right.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
If you ask what our first task was, coming into government in 1999, it was to bring stability to the economy after decades of military rule. For example, between 1999 and 2003, oil prices then were hovering between $16 and $28 yet we managed to pay up salary arrears from decades back, clear up our national debts and built up foreign reserves. Our GDP grew at the fastest rate we’ve seen since the return to democracy.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
You mentioned that I never brought young people into leadership, but my record speaks differently. I have a proven record of bringing young, unknown professionals into service. Many of the professionals and ministers I brought in were in their 30s and early 40s. Some of those young leaders have become governors in their states. I went to the World Bank and met a bright lady, convinced her to come back home, and she became a star in our government. To show you we had effective leadership, the same lady could not replicate her exploits under a different government.</div>
<script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
I was also in charge of privatization and I have witnesses that I never interfered with the process. I never bought anything belonging to the government. I was quite wealthy before coming into government, with declared assets worth hundreds of millions of dollars in 1999 (which was put in a trust when I became VP); so it was understandable that many of the wealthy Nigerian business people who participated in the privatization programme were my friends. Did I use my influence to get them better deals? No. As the then DG of BPE testified under oath, I never used my position to interfere with his work.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
My legacy as Vice President, I would say is the banking consolidation process, for which I gave political backing for. Many big people were putting a lot of political pressure to not change the status quo, but we knew that if that consolidation was not done, Nigeria could not grow. Because of that banking consolidation, Nigerian banks don’t fail anymore the way they used to.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
I oversaw the telecoms revolution, which is why young people like you, I Go Dye, now have a flourishing career. Under our tenure, we witnessed a large repatriation of Nigerians back to Nigeria, driven by the hope of the recovering economy. It is sad that many of those young people are heading back abroad now?—?this is to show you that leadership matters.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
I know many of these have been forgotten because it was a long time ago, and successive administrations did not follow up on the progress we made. But that is also not to say we were blameless. I was largely frozen out in the second term of our tenure, and I regret that we had that disagreement with my boss. Some say I was disloyal, but I looked at the events in Zimbabwe recently, and it gives me confidence that I did the right thing fighting the attempts to elongate the presidential tenure beyond eight years. If I did not win that fight, do you think we would be having a discussion on young people getting into leadership today?</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
Intels. I want to address this because you mentioned it. It was the Shagari government that started the Onne Port and later abandoned it. In summary, my business partner and I saw an opportunity to build Nigeria’s oil industry using world class infrastructure, but driven by Nigerians. We went out and took loans to build the facilities, but as we went on, more opportunities opened up, which allowed us access to even more capital. We ended up borrowing hundreds of millions of dollars, mostly from Europe, to build the port, singlehandedly charting the course of Nigeria’s oil industry.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
Honestly, I did not ever think we would be that successful, which was why I kept my day job, when we started it. It was just what you would call, a side hustle, but it grew so big, and I had to quit my government job to focus on it. Today, every oil major uses the facilities we built. The government only became clients after the oil companies. Our company has expanded to several countries in Africa. Even the FG has seen that that company is the most competent logistics company in Africa, which is why it gives Intels the most complex operations to manage.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
But Intels as a corporate citizen is loved in the locations it operates. That’s because we invest in scholarships, hire young people from the community and train them to become world class technicians. As CSR, we have gone into partnership with the NFF to train young Nigerian footballers, and provide support for the local league. We are loved by the youth in our local communities.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
In my home state of Adamawa for example, I’ve created over 50,000 direct jobs and 250,000 indirect ones. We are the largest private employers of labour in the state only second to the state government. It’s not a lot, but it does help reduce unemployment. Who do you think are holding those jobs? Yes, young people.</div>
<script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
I Go Dye, I’m not a messiah. I do not promise Eldorado or $1 = N1. But I always ask to look at the economic progress we made under my leadership and what I am doing in private business and judge me by those. People say I became rich in government. It’s a lie. I had hundreds of millions of dollars in assets declared in 1999. My businesses (my shares of which were held in a Blind Trust while I was in government) continued to grow since then. I was able to personally bankroll the PDP back then, so surely I was not poor. But I understand it is politics. So it’s normal to be called names. But how come in all these years, none of my opponents has found any evidence to indict me?</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
The people who are afraid of me changing the status quo they enjoy will always try to frighten young people about me.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
Some people believe youth empowerment is giving handouts to young people instead of building a strong economy. They are wrong. They want to give handouts so they can control young people. But how long can we continue like that? Our country is borrowing to pay salaries, yet we are still holding on to outdated models just so we can control young people for elections.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
The success of young Nigerian entrepreneurs in IT & technology, retail, music, and arts shows that given the chance, they can run anything. My job is to be a bridge, which supports our young people achieve these ideals. I will never say only I can do this. I can’t do it alone. I need your support, I Go Dye, so help our economy grow, to ensure that within 10 years, our young people can take over completely.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
In summary, I Go Dye, I am not a person who says what he cannot do or show proof. I am giving you an invitation to sit down and ask me any questions you may have. I would also like to take you around, show you some of the businesses I have built, and let you speak to the young people who run those places. It is good to try to convince you that I can do better by our young people, but it is even better to show you. Send me a direct message on Twitter, and we will take it from there</div>
