Mushin Makeover: History is made |
It was probably the most anticipated nation building project of 2009.
It started as a simple God idea that came to Fela Durotoye sometime in October. It was at a Change Summit in Mushin. "God told me that MUSHIN is the place for Making Unique Stars and Heroes In Nigeria", said Fela Durotoye, the initiator of the project. He said at the meeting, he shared the idea of painting houses in the area, and "the whole place caught fire". The rest, as they say, is history.
But the real history was made on December 12, 2009. That Saturday, thousands of people from within and around Lagos, Nigeria and the Diaspora trooped out to Mushin Local Government in Lagos State for the Mushin Makeover Project.
That morning, as thousands of participants were getting ready for an arduos task, the heavens opened to signal its approval for the event with a downpour that lasted for a little over forty minutes.

Mushin Area Makeover (Dec 12) |
|
With the Mushin Makeover project, our mission is to mobilize the donation of painting materials and buckets of paint (in many beautiful and bright colors) 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 as many streets as possible in the Mushin local government area IN JUST 1-DAY.
The driving objective of this project is to get people to believe that they can make a positive change to 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
