Since the campaign broke on 14th March, 2015 youths across Nigeria, Nigerian youths have literally thrown their hats in the political rink, but totally in a violence-free style. Through the campaign, they are encouraged to celebrate their freedom of choice and express their support for President Goodluck Jonathan’s reelection with deft freestyle dance moves.
To participate, youths are expected to get a hat, any hat, dance to their own grove, in their own neighborhood, and then pass their hats forward. The forward movement of the hats is symbolic of the ideas of communality, unity in diversity, and the informed choice of the Nigerian youth to move forward as they go to the polls on Saturday.
The groundbreaking #hatsforward campaign positively exploits imaginative and youthful energies of young Nigerians and marks a radical departure from the perception of Nigeri’a young adults as easy tools for political violence.
The campaign has been receiving positive feedback for its promotion of positive values.
