Hellooooooo!

Happy Independence Day Nigerians!!!!!! Nigeria is 46 years today. Wow!!! It calls for some celebration.

You may ask what is there to celebrate. Why should we celebrate knowing that there are still a lot of things that have been left unattended to? Why should be celebrate when a large percentage of Nigerians still leave below the poverty line?

Well, I've got news for you. We should celebrate our unity. Nigeria's unity has been threatened several times but to God be the glory the nation has remained an indivisible entity.

We should celebrate our nascent democracy. It took a hard fight to get it. We now have it. However shaky it may to be, it's worth celebrating.

Have you thought about the fact that power supply has been quite stable? We should celebrate that also.

Have you thought about the number of Foreign Direct Investment that has come into this country (new businesses are being born and consequently more jobs created? We should celebrate that also.

Have you thought also about the educational system and how for a little over a year, lecturers have not downed their tools? We should celebrate that also.

Have you thought about the peace we have been privileged to enjoy? If you think peace isn’t worth celebrating, then please takes a trip to Dafur, Congo D.R, Burundi and other war ravaged countries and tell me if you'd prefer to leave there.

Truth is, Nigeria may not be all we want it to be but it's what we have. Let's celebrate it.

If you are a youth, the best time to be a Nigerian Youth is now! If you are an adult the best time to be a Nigerian adult is now!

For the Nigerian youth, the future style of Nigeria is in you hands and mouth; there is a lot to look forward to (improved quality of life, improved road networks, improved education, improved health care services, and improved transportation on land, sea, air and underground).

For the Nigerian adult, remember that posterity will question your actions today; lead the youths aright. Be responsible. Contribute your own quota to national development.

Our Nation; Our Heritage.

Don't forget you national flag and what it symbolizes. Don't forget the Nigerian National Anthem and the power behind it. Don't forget the National Pledge and the sense of commitment it drives into you.

Fellow Nigerians, the time for true expression is now. it's time to take advantage of the tremendous opportunities around us. Now is the time; more than even to truly make a change. What's most important? It's time to make an impact.

God bless you. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Strength and Honor.
