On behalf of the United States of America, I extend my warmest congratulations to the people of Nigeria on the 65th anniversary of Nigeria’s independence.

For over six decades, Nigeria has stood as a beacon of resilience and leadership. The United States values our enduring partnership, rooted in shared democratic principles, a growing commercial relationship, and a commitment to fostering peace and security.

On this special occasion, we celebrate the rich cultural heritage, entrepreneurial spirit, and unwavering determination of the Nigerian people. We look forward to continuing to deepen our collaboration in the years ahead as we work together to achieve our shared goals.

Congratulations once again on this milestone anniversary. May the year ahead bring continued progress and prosperity to Nigeria and its people." - Marco Rubio, Secretary of State

What we want as a nation is for the US to strengthen our democracy. Flight injustice and help boot out any corrupt politician that usurps powers because he feels it's his turn to rule. If Nigeria could get it right, I see no reason why other smaller African countries will not do same. No nation is an island. There must be supervision, checks, and balances. Else, deep dictators will emerge and cause global disharmony.

You mean the US should do want they can't do in America for us.
Every single problem Nigeria has the US has it in a greater scale be it corruption insecurity and others

Heffalump:
They have democracy. What you have is a counterfeit of it.

cdqyehyeh:
They have a name democracy but deep down they practice it differently same way we do here the difference is just the hype.

Heffalump:
Keep deceiving yourself. We are in a baboon Republic, where criminal politicians decamp to the ruling party and all their sins are forgiven. Where a president can set up puppets in another party to destabilize it. Where politicians change from one party to another, seeking for greener pastures or safety. Where the rule of law is reduced to only paper prints. Where the judiciary is an appendage of the executive class. Where the dissenting voices are silenced with brutal forces. Where the government of the people has become the government of the cabals. Where there's no safety net for the poor and the rich gets richer by sucking off from the poor masses.

Keep joking!!!
