The name of this page appears hilarious, a lot of people
laughed about it and when it dropped on my BlackBerry Messenger status, people
on my list were curious to check because of the blog name. That was quite intentional
and strategic, so it worked. My decision to create this blog was borne out of a
strong desire for me to have my own voice in the society. Although it is
starting on a small platform but it is just a developmental stage. I have
always wanted to be different. I hate bandwagoning or let me say doing the
usual. This is not your average news page that steals intellectual properties
of others. Blogging has been compromised with lack of creativity. Thousands of
bloggers feed on themselves. A research has shown that 80% of the news articles
online are the same.
They all circulate under different blog pages and
websites. The only notable differences are the captions and featured images but
the same contents word for word. The VillageTownCrier is an aberration to the
norm. The page is based on my own personal knowledge, research, thoughts and in
general level of creativity. I am not criticizing any blog or website but I am
just laying emphasis on my stand.
The Nigerian society is sick and the sickness is quite
obvious politically. The blog hopes to be the voice that advocates for a serum
to cure the long term sickness of our dear country with intellectual analysis
of stringent issues after a concrete research. That is the direction. That is
the dream. That is the final destination. The issues of life and experiences
being discussed is just a way of showing that after work, one deserves rest.
Life doesn't deserve 100% serious. We should create time to laugh to good jokes
too.
I appreciate every reader who has encouraged me with their
comments and views. I will never relent till we get to the summit. God bless
you all.
