Hi.

1. Two older men, worried about the ghettoising happening in the North have stealthily bought houses in "muslim" areas of 3 Northern cities and are renting them cheaply to Christian students just so channels of communication and respect are kept open.

2. When there were "religious" riots in a Northern city dozens of Muslim families risked their lives sheltering church members when their building was attacked and stood up to the "Jihadists".

3. A man is working with his village elders to build a guest village for vacations for Nigerians using trad building materials and setting it up as a joint ownership venture so it belongs to the community.

I have to be a little careful about details but the North is more varied and there is more to be hopeful there than some people realise.

These are great stories and I know a couple more from further north.

I often wonder if it might be possible to have a micro-credit or maybe "midi-credit" system set up where volunteers put Nigerians with these characteristics in touch with people who have the cash to back them. It would have to be smaller scale and based on people who can be trusted who do not want or seek a "cut".

this is lovely. thanks so much for sharing this.

Can I get a link too? I asked for one not through e-mail, but you didn't answer. I presumed you were too busy enjoying India ;)

What's very interesting about most of the people you've listed is that they're passionate about what they do - they're not just doing what they're doing because other people are doing the same thing, or because it'll make them money (nothing wrong with that) - they're doing it out of conviction.

Sadly, a lot of people are too busy trying to find what will make them money rather that trying to find what they really care about. And even when they've made a lot of money, they're still struggling to find out what they care about.

PS - I don't like to ask, but what does one have to do to get a link to a blog from your site? :)
