In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.

[@ese4741]

She looks so fragile but is so strong. well done.

[@najeama]

I would vote for her if she ran for office. I truly believe that someone with that level of fire and commitment could make a pivotal difference.

[@mcklasikayegba4595]

My God this lady is a full power house. More grace

[@MaryAsekome]

Great talk! "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others"

[@valandlenpothier8947]

The lies of Pope Francis

[@ubuntumike5794]

Mary Asekome yeah when you get tired the others can pick you up until your energy comes back as oppose to going fast alone and have no one to help when your energy runs out!

[@irenedavo3768]

Do you watch Jim Nduruchi

[@archiscapesatelierltd1609]

Get Angry, Stay Angry, and let's work together. Great Talk there. God bless you more and more Ndidi

[@annenjideka8635]

Thank you Ndidi, for a powerful speech. I learnt a lot

[@ChiomaCO]

When she was describing her childhood self, I felt like she was describing me lol! Middle angry 'freedom-fighting' child. She is so pretty!

[@manishadadlani2086]

Enjoyed this talk tremendously! She had my attention from the first word and right through the presentation. Showing us the way we can make a difference from practical and her personal experience. Thank you

[@prettymiss1738]

Ndidi is truly a change agent! Love her composure and desire to bring great change to her country.

[@asabedawudu1323]

it is encouraging to see how Africans are starting to fight for their continent.

[@ubuntumike5794]

Asabe Dawudu yes we need more

[@julietjohnson1222]

[@sospeterpatrick9119]

[@adriastouch]

Great! Ted Talk !

[@fred5399]

We will as soon as we refuse to be afraid of each other.

[@tinayeamakomeya8775]

We definitely need more Africans like these ...

[@naomioladosu9815]

The quote towards the end of her speech is the key 💭💭💭💭

[@iveagujidile2661]

Love her already. So inspiring.

[@adj5767]

Ndidi nice to see you again.

[@joeekeator9271]

Love this presentation from these lovely personalities...Diction is flawlees... God bless u all.. She mentioned NIA: Ndu,Ike and Akanuba..hahahhaha

[@victoriavicky5728]

Exceptional!

[@johngreen8891]

I'm so glad that Ndidi acknowledged the American African American community. It seems that very few Nigerians ever do.

[@ChukwubuDike]

Yes, i am glad she did but this unfortunate issues goes both ways. We should learn to regard one another,after all we are all human beings. It is quite sad that blacks segregate among themselves because some have their parents living in Africa and others ancestors of slaves from Africa. We must bond together if we must all get ahead together.

[@alternateworldmedia4030]

How many African Americans acknowledge Nigerians?

[@patrickmgbeje401]

A brilliant speech

[@mwila1879]

Very good insight of African issues. I like it.

[@kazhbone0147]

So motivating!!!!We all need a push somewhere or at sometime in life.

[@chigozie2467]

thank you for this wonderful message

[@chiezugolumodilinye9209]

Awesome message from Mrs Ndidi

[@thelmabriggso]

this is so amazing, everyone should get involved #rageforchange

[@ObiEzeilo]

Well done, Ndidi!

[@queenrose6603]

Love you girl!

[@mikailatoll]

I truly enjoy the talk especially with Amina, but I am lost. I cannot seems to match this talk with what is on ground here in Nigeria. To say MDGs already impact on 40 million is huge and bloated. One of my friend head the MDGs of a state and I am shaking my head here. I am still looking around to find this One Billion Dollars developmental gifts... especially the waters and the schools. I wish Thomas Sankara can return to chat with the UN of this world and its staff.

[@iotieno]

Very inspirational

[@ngumabi]

Great talk

[@irenedavo3768]

Never heard of her!

[@1anre]

Channeling the anger constructively.

[@mmwhilz4796]

Awesome

[@mbaunianthony2523]

nice one

[@favourifebunandu4440]

man u fans 😃😃😃😃😃

[@sfindaa8523]

She said she's not seen them in 25 years? How old is she?????!! Beautiful woman though

[@isaacige]

Probabbly in her early 40s

[@irenedavo3768]

Do you know CHAMA Mission?

[@irenedavo3768]

Do you watch Afrimax English

[@yauhenivis8644]

So noticeable that people who never experienced real life in Africa, and probably their families were connected with criminal and stealing money, now tell us about their trips all over the world and dealing with financial resourses in poor countries...
