Politics made personal - and personality made political This meet-up is for the purpose of exploring a new dimension in political practice that is summed up in Dr Mike Roth's claim: the quality of our personal and political judgments stems directly from the intelligence and the rapport that we are able to embody in the inter-personal space.

Any keen observer of Nigeria would attest to the painful state of the country's political and economic system - wrought by its own doing and undoing over the years. Based on critical observation - the sleeping giant of Africa cannot get itself back on the right track without critical reflection and strategy for way forward by concerned citizens - citizens who can challenge present thinking, who can offer fresh and innovative models to status quo and are passionate about the future. This is a Lon …

Every successful challenge to excessive power begins outside the political chamber. When protest stops, politics sclerotises: it becomes a conversation between different factions of the elite.' This group is for people who want to make their voice heard through peaceful protest/ rallies/ direct actions in London, and want …
