Fellow NIgerians,our great country is 46.It is true that we are far lagging behind in Growth.compare with others 3rd world developing countries like malaysia,japan,singapore and so on.

Things are really fallen parts health,educations,bad roads,corrupt public officers ,lost virtues,and so on.but then we can't continue lamenting .we need the way forward,i believe Nairaland users are people who have great ideas that can move our country forward.here are my few ideas

1]pray for Nigeria
2] we should all stop bad mouthing about Nigeria.
3] we should all memorise that National Anthem and The pledge,its a sourse of motivation.
4] we should stop complaining about our problems and starts seeing Nigeria from a positive angle.
5] LET US ACT! Let us all do something POSITIVE in our own little way that will contribute to the progress of our country.WE CAN ALL EFFECT change irrespective of where we are, who we are,what we do .
6]we should stop the blame game.Blaming our leaders its time to accept responsibilties.

Nigeria yi ti gbogbo wa ni meaning Nigeria Belongs to all of us.

Other ideas are also welcome .if it is well with Nigeria it will be well wit us too

that guy i s backwardly backward.he na kolo

are there nairalanders who are students of RGU, uiversity of aberdeen or live in ABERDEEN, IT will be nice to meet and have a swell time to celebrate our independence. my phone no is 07961523562. my e-mail is de_tayomartins@yahoo.com.
LETS COME TOGETHER AND REJOICE FOR OUR COUNTRY HAS NO OPTION THAN TO GET BETTER.

Happy birthday!Many happy returns. Nigeria will grow and Nigeria will progress.We are more than we were,and we are going to be more than we are in term of progress. To the naysayers and the eternal pessimists,Nigeria will rise higher into the solar orbit of greatness in the years to come.Laugh if you must,but the last laugh will belong to those of us who loves and wishes our motherland good.
      Some of you compares Nigeria so much with other advanced nations of the world,but in your comparisons,you failed many times to accept the fact that most of the nations were in worst situations in their earlier stages of independence than Nigeria is today.Changes will come to Nigeria,but these are changes that cannot be done by the government alone.It must start with individuals,families,house holds,compounds,hamlets, villages and cities.

yay happy bday nigeria.

All have all said well,If at all we have to comment on Nigeria,All will defintaely get annoyed,But we gat  to ask oursleves a question,Who really is/are Nigeria?We are Nigeria,Are we not the one spoiling all what we have worked for?Are we not who laid much emphasis on what Nigeria can do for me,whilw we failed to think that what can we do to make Nigeria a happy and a blissful nation,We all are saying America,S-Africa,Europe and so on,Do they just begin all in a day,Dont we all know that the jounery of somewhere starts from a place,though we have a shaky foundation,But we still have to be postive and optimistic about our great Country,Lets be Proudly Nigerian in all we do,Do what will make you to raise your head up anywhere you go,Remember you are an Ambassdor.

Happy Birthday Nigeria,But Much Have to be Done.

Nigeria At 46,The Jounery so Far,

I think there r alot of improvements, there will be alot of more improvement with our votes, electing the right person into power, everyone knows that there is alot of improvement in this present administration, though there might be something bad going on behind with the people rulings us, but with out polls, we can alot a competent man into power, who will emloyed all our natural resources, because as at nowm we r under utilising our resources

Yes, it's a day to look ahead in hope and also to reflect or think back about where we came from.
Our problem has been fear of domination and this has prevented us from having focus as nation. For this reason we had several coups, fought the civil war and won the war of unity. Became corrupt and are now fighting corruption with our prayers and not EFCC.
I believe in this country, there is hope. I pray for you Nigeria, God save Nigeria.
I beg all of you people in Nairaland to pray for Naija tomorrow Oct. 2 to say this prayer "The second stanza of National Anthem" and this very simple one "May God save and bless Nigeria. Amen"
Yes, May God save and bless Nigeria! Amen.
E go better!

Happy birthday Naija,

We are praying and fasting for restoration of your stolen glory. We are also praying that the battle between the "he-goat" and the "she-goat" (pardon me, Dr. Daniel Olukoya of the MFM), would spare the poor and the innocent, so our people and nation can prosper for the good of all.

I love Naija I no go lie ooo, There is no other country like our Naija, God Bless Naija with righteous leaders. Naija go survive. AMEN!

I am a Nigerian and I'm proud to be.
If i don't who else will?
Will a white man say that he's proud of Nigeria?
Nigeria will be great again.
I believe!

happy bday. we go survive.

Itz really not a sad thing that Nigeria is 46, though we are not too old but we're not doing badly.
There is still corruption, there is still crime there are a lot of things that still needs to be checked. But we're growing stronger with each passing day.

I believe with time these ills would be reduced to the barest minimum.
We live in a Nigeria where nothing is certain, yet we wake up each day, hale and hearty, perform our respectives responsibilities without any problems.

It is worth celebrating Nigeria's Growth.

[size=15pt]NIGERIA IS 46 AND I'M PROUD TO BE A PART OF IT[/size].

Let's put it like this: I choose to focus on the positives instead of the negatives. The glass is half full, not half empty. Happy independence folks.

Arise o compatriots, Nigeria's call obey!!

I assume you all know the rest, Listen today is the day we celebrate the Independence of our blessed nation. A nation which without, almost all of us would not exist, so instead of critizing everything wrong with naija, lets rejoice in the fact that we have a place we can call home, a place that was able to breed such amazing individuals as you and myself. I'm not saying our nation is perfect, trust me, we are far from it, but every nation has its own issues to deal with, but at the end of the day its still the place we call Home. So for today I say

Happy 46th Naija!!!!!May God continue to bless and guide our nation and its people and may our future be filled with success and prosperity!!!
