As you might be aware, we have a mandate to build Nigeria into the
world’s most desirable nation to live in by December 31, 2025.
As a critical step to actualising that vision, we have embarked on a
nation building project we have tagged MUSHIN MAKEOVER, taking place in
the city of Mushin on the 12th of December, 2009.
It’s a Great day and I consider it an honour and a privilege to “speak” to you today.
My name is Fela Durotoye.
I hope I can take some of your time as I ask you to read the contents of this brief letter.
As you might be aware, we have a mandate to build Nigeria into the
world’s most desirable nation to live in by December 31, 2025.
As a critical step to actualising that vision, we have embarked on a
nation building project we have tagged MUSHIN MAKEOVER, taking place in
the city of Mushin on the 12th of December, 2009.
Our mission is to mobilize the donation of painting materials and
buckets of paint (in many beautiful colours) as well as raise 5,000
volunteers across Lagos state, all over Nigeria and even beyond, who
will dedicate their time and energy towards the goal of beautifying
seven streets in the Mushin local government area IN JUST 1-DAY.
The driving objective of this project is to inspire Nigerians to make a
positive impact on their environment, particularly in M.U.S.H.I.N,
which, as far as we are concerned, is the place for “Making Unique
Stars and Heroes In Nigeria” (MUSHIN) and ultimately raising a
Generation that is Empowered, Motivated and Stirred To Operate with
Natural Excellence. (GEMSTONE). A generation with the capacity to build
Nigeria into the most desirable nation to live in by December 31, 2025.
The Governor of Lagos State, His Excellency, Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), has endorsed the Mushin Makeover project.
In his words, the project is "A MOST WELCOME DEVELOPMENT"!

I hope I can count on your endorsement and participation.
I’m asking you to partner with us by DONATING A BUCKET OF WHITE PAINT
OR MORE (with a roller brush) with which we can paint the streets of
Mushin on your behalf or give your physical presence to paint with us.
Generations behind us will ask what you did to change our nation.. you can decide what your answer will be… right now!
I know you’ll be proud to say you were one of the pioneers to transform cities voluntarily!
We have a great team, and next week Saturday (December 12, 2009), the eyes of the entire country will be on our movement.
Now is the time to take the next step and own a piece of this movement.
Many people COMPLAIN about Nigeria, a large number TALK about changing
Nigeria, become one of the privileged few who actually DO SOMETHING
about changing this nation!
Remember, change is an action, not an intention.
