Abstract
The scope of the original #LLM idea has grown so much since we first conceived of it. The solution has come to incorporate several themes: the spirit of LLM itself providing for openness, and the convergence of diverse peoples, the #LLM volunteer corps and the LLM Café (where art meets passion and creative outputs translate into positive action). LLM is a social enterprise for maximal sustainability. We want to be able to create an enduring project that outlives us and touches more and more people, month after month. We are certain to seek the engagement of corporate organizations, NGOs, & public institutions to partner with our project and strides are already being made in this regard. The MDGs are crucial to this effort with specific emphasis on developing a global partnership for development, ensuring gender equality and encouraging the movement towards environmental sustainability. Our solution calls for more than just ensuring that change is activated in Nigeria and hopefully throughout the world, but it also touches on the importance of not making development work seem like a chore. We are essentially using pop culture in Nigeria and Africa to change the paradigm of social activation and to inspire a volunteering spirit in the minds of young people. This is important because of the sense of ownership we want to ensure is engendered in the African society, using Nigeria as the pilot project. It is essentially a reorientation strategy, based on the tri-nciples of Perception|Expression|Participation that is at the core of Love|Life|Music. LLM is young people helping other young people realise that that they can do what normal people think that young people cannot do. It is a striving for the real, lasting bonds amongst and between Nigeria’s peoples and the different organisations already working to improve life and living conditions.

Thanks guys for all the comments so far. Be sure we checked your solutions too and they are great - truly we have a community of people with ideas that would shape the future.
@Sayenee - We used a Canon camera (I'd find out the model from Tobbie - TCD). We processed the video with Windows Live Movie Maker - interesting right? :)

'Social' change has not come with fun so far. It doesn't get approved with love and music. It's temporary. People needs to understand eventual suffering to understand the need of change to accept. Social change is always painful for mass. However it looks appealing.

@Sagar- We understand your hesitation. Trust me, we've been there too. The truth is, the #LLM is not just "love and music", although that in itself packs a lot of power, it is also the appreciation of reality, of life.
Social change seems to always come with pain like you mentioned but pain isn't all bad. It reminds us of what we are leaving behind and that we can make our future better. That is the thrust of our solution. The quest for meaningful and lasting change in an atmosphere that constantly tells us that there is indeed, a light at the end of the tunnel.
With your vote, we can really do this. :)

@Jeong-MIN Thank you very much.
I did stop by your solution too - VOL and think it's an amazing idea. Using the web for more than fundraising but "Redistribution of wealth" while doing something as simple as using the web. Perhaps a driver for those in the developing world to cultivate the web culture too so as to drive development :)
#Cheers and see you in the finals - #FingersCrossed

I like your idea, video and the screenshot of video!
But wait...it seems that you already implemented it judging by your link? How things are going? Saw a music clip on site ;] It is nothing more than a confirmation of fun that is going right there.
Your video and exec summary is well made, voted for the sake of pink balloons so they would not burst ;D

@Dennis- Lol @screenshot of video.
We are beginning to put things in place already for the #LLM Cafe. A lot more work needs to be done though. The video on our site is from the Nigerian singer- Asa. The song is titled- "Why cant we?" and it packs a powerful message. You should watch and listen again.
Thanks for your vote man!

great work there guys... just hope it doesn't just end up on the stage of an idea, but graduates up to its realization for the youths in thought.. you've gt my vote...
13th July, 2011 @ 8:47 PM CEST
hey well done... :)
Every idea in this competition is meant for a noble cause..
And everyone is running blindly to get more accolades for their own idea.. We all are trying to gather and convince friends to vote for us..
But as a part of this competition, we ourselves should motivate eachother.. for a while we should keep the competition aside.. and we should look into all our felllow competitor's ideas.. and should encourage the idea they came up with for the noble cause..
Lets keep aside the competitive feelings aside.. and lets vote for all the ideas we consider worthy in our perspective...
lets encourage each other ideas.. I will vote for you as i liked your idea.. and for all other ideas as well which i liked..
Join me in this drive of voting and encouraging your those fellow competitors.. WHOSE IDEAS YOU FEEL ARE WORTHY...
If you like mine, you are cordially invited to vote for our idea too....
http://www.challengefuture.org /teams/1026/solutions/1273
And If you don't like, we would love to have your opinion on how can we improve on our idea :)

@Emma Mastad
Thanks for the reassuring words. Fun @collaboration is part of the LLM idea, and we are definitely looking forwards to working with groups/initiaitves/projects around the world that share ideals with us. Replicating successful models (considering variations) is part of what we want to do and collaboration is key to this.
So, share with us your ideas and what your project is all about and let's see how to bring in meaningful fun via collaboration. :)

WOW ! this is lovely. great job guys!
I really love when Adedayo was saying about the diversity of Nigeria and then diffrent colors started to show up while blending to the whole environment. Great symbolism :D and it's cool ^^
The video is really great. clean and clear. but there the audio has a grainy sound so i suggest that you guys use Adobe Sound booth next time to clean the audio http://www.adobe.com/products/ soundbooth/ ;)
i would love to go to LLM cafe and interact with many people while being productive with my artistic endeavors ;D
Great job guys! :D lovely idea c:

Good luck!!!
If you excuse me, I want to introduce our project too!
Imagine you're in a total different country and you feel like an alien! How awesome it would be to just click and learn about the city you're in; it's culture, weather, social events even the best restaurant that makes burritos!
Well actually, NOW YOU CAN! With *uMood*!!!
