The Platform was created by Pastor Poju Oyemade the senior pastor, covenant Christian center in lagos, actually the aim is to influence Government policies. Every year, politicians and people of influence are brought on stage to speak about their vision for Nigeria.

To be sincere, it is a good initiative, it could be a think tank group but i have come to realise that the platform is just a means for people of influence in our society to give motivational speeches to people.

Sometimes, some of the speakers always have bright ideas on how to change Nigeria but when they go back to their respective homes and offices, the ideas flies away. I have come to realise that this is just Nigerian panty ways,

it seems most of the speakers realised that
Nigerian are used to motivational speeches, so they give out those motivational speeches, after that, the audience claps for them, they all go home and Nigeria still remains the same.

What exactly is the purpose of the platform when change can not be made, in my opinion, the platform is just part of the political entertainment sector, where future political aspirants come to give out their " beautiful idea" to influence people to vote for them.

Well. I don't think it's a waste of time.

But the Church is becoming too woke for my liking. A the only one I attended physically, there were no words of prayer whether at the beginning or the end of the programme.
Imagine a programme 100% funded by the Church!

The church is funding it but you should understand it is a political forum.

The program is supposed to be inclusive regardless of religion so starting with prayers will make it a Christian program.
