I am more patriotic than the average nigerian citizen ( that includes ur humble self), it's politicians, it's epileptic leaders, I don't necessarily have to list the sacrifices I have made for being a Nigerian, worse off being a Nigerian living in Diaspora, so don't give me that silly crap about patriotism on the peripheral level, a stupid term used by our corrupt politicians to perpetuate poverty because the average Nigerian at best is oblivious of his rights..

The bolded comment just made my heart cringe in anger, despair and disappointment especially if you are still considered a youth, if at 54 and the numerous resources available at our disposal, we have only succeeded in eating the crumbs from the table of the few affluent and the gulf between the rich and the poor has continously increased then we are a cursed nation..

Stop limiting yourself, Nigerians deserve better..way better..

I am sorry if I came out too strong in my reply.
My anger with the "we deserve better" phrase stems from the fact that simple shows of patriotism we had in the early 80's are no more. I feel saddened too at the way things are going in the country, but unlike most people, I won't lay the blame on our politicians alone.
Nigerians care less about Nigeria. Take a close look today, how many will fly the green-white-green? Can you compare that with the march past we had in the 80's? How every pupil practically dreamed of October 1st?

Nigeria, we hail thee,
Our own dear native land,
Though tribe and tongue may differ,
In brotherhood we stand,
Nigerians all are proud to serve
Our sovereign Motherland.
Our flag shall be a symbol
That truth and justice reign,
In peace or battle honour'd,
And this we count as gain,
To hand on to our children
A banner without stain.
O God of all creation,
Grant this our one request,
Help us to build a nation
Where no man is oppressed,
And so with peace and plenty
Nigeria may be blessed.

#God bless NIGERIA
