Happy Independence Day Everyone!!!

Today is Independence day but from time to time, I am tempted to ask "is there anything really to celebrate?"

- Our youths are lost and hungry with no jobs
- The rate of insecurity in the country is appalling
- The rate of bribery and corruption is nothing to write home about
- Our roads and infrastructure is in disrepair
and I can go on and on and on.

I do not think that this is the Nigeria our fathers fought to build when we gained independence in 1960. Even Ghana our next door neighbour has overtaken Nigeria in development.

When I listen to the song Great Nation by Timi Dakolo, I am filled with hope that things will get better.

- That our youths will no longer be fighting to go aboard because there will be too many job opportunities to keep everybody happy,
- That Nigeria will wake from been the sleeping giant of Africa to being the action giant of Africa
- That our politicians will put the interest and welfare of the people of Nigeria before their own selfish interests
and again, I can go on and on and on.

While hoping and praying for that day to come, I leave you all with this powerful video by Timi Dakolo. May Nigeria rise up from her slumber to be the great nation she's destined to be.... Amen!!!
