Nigeria marked her 62nd year of Independence last Saturday, October 1st 2022. The Independence Day celebration allows Nigerians to remember our past national heroes who fought for our freedom from British colonial rule. However, after 62 years, many Nigerians have become apathetic towards Independence Day, and some spent the whole day raining curses on the corrupt leaders ruling the nation.

The truth is our great nation has become a shadow of its former glory where many citizens struggle to make ends meet. Insecurity and political and economic instability have become the norm, and unemployment rates have reached an all-time high. Many brilliant youths who promise a better future would rather live outside than remain in the country.

Many senior citizens can recall old Nigeria, where previous national leaders had a great vision to ensure the progress of every citizen in the country. They remember Nigeria, where naira and pounds had equal value. Indeed, as we mourn the old Nigeria, it is important to intensify our efforts to rebuild a new nation ruled with vision, justice and integrity.

We must join hands and elect honourable leaders that will champion the fight against corruption and restore stability in the nation. This is not the time to give up but to have faith in our strength as a great nation. While working in government, few remaining public figures have proven their loyalty and dedication to Nigerians.

Nigerians must wise up and support brave, intelligent leaders with a record of success in government and leadership positions. We must also ignore the smear campaigns, and publicity stunts carried out by the oppressive ruling class who seek to hide the truth. Enough is enough! In the wise words of the great Diezani Alison Madueke,

“Together we must work hard to build a better country and if all you see in the reward is the impact that you, as an individual can make on millions of people in a positive way, that dividend alone is more than enough… Toll onwards and upwards in the land. It will never fail you.”

God bless Nigeria!

Cool

This is straight from the heart. This rap song perfectly describes our situation. Dedicated to all Nigerian leaders and citizens.
I hope they learn the lessons �
