HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR COUNTRY (NIGERIA) +234 is her code, she sits at the heart of Africa. GREEN and WHITE are her colors. They call her the giant of Africa. Yes, she's got issues as any important personality will do 'coz of the attention she attracts from so many. She just turned 55 and so many feel she's reached COUNTRYPAUSE (MENOPAUSE) and can't produce good things anymore. It took many of her counterparts centuries to produce offspring: GREAT BRITAIN became great after becoming a grandfather. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA became united at the "Methuselah's" age. She's still undergoing the 'growing' process. TO ALL NIGERIANS, Remember, no matter how far you travel, wherever you find yourself, wherever the struggle for a better life takes you. No matter the situation on ground. NIGERIA IS STILL OUR BABY! and her growth is up to us. Remember this is who we are: ~ STRONG ~ SURVIVOR ~ SMART ~ JUST ~ PRUDENT ~ GREENWHITEGREEN Soon, many will scale heights to obtain the GREEN passport. Many will want to marry my children and grand children to be called GREEN. Come rain, come shine, I'll always be proud to be BLACK I'll always be proud to fly GREEN I'll always be proud to be a NIGERIAN I'll always be proud to be called AFRICAN HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIGERIA!!!! MY COUNTRY, MY COLOR, MY PRIDE, MY NIGERIA! GOD BLESS YOU, GOD BLESS ME, GOD BLESS NIGERIA and GOD BLESS AFRICA!!!!
