Membership is open to all Nigerian professionals, academicians, entrepreneurs, individuals with proven track records as well as corporate bodies and organisations based in Germany. 
 
So fellow countrymen and women, the NIDO focus is genuine. We must not relax; the dialogue between the Nigerians in Diaspora and the home government must continue if we have to live up to expectations. The late Chairman Mao of China, a former school teacher and Lech Walesa of Poland a former factory worker changed the histories of their respective countries. 
 
You might be the germ that will help bring Nigeria back to the path of being one of the most successful industrial and progressive nations in this millennium. If countries like South Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong and South Africa could make it, Nigerians can too.

Please watch out for our next general meeting; you are cordially invited. Our meetings enjoy an atmosphere of collegial dialogue, discipline and transparency.
 
Together we are stronger.
 
Chief (Dr. med.) Okwudili Okafor
Former President, NIDO Germany 2002 - 2006
