As Nigeria turns 54 today, I share with you my thoughts:
Nigeria, a land of promise
The pride and jewel of Africa
The site of many ancient kingdoms and empires
A land of over 140 million people and over 500 ethnicities
Blessed with a people as talented as they are diverse
Scattered across the many Nations and territories of the world
Blessing and enriching their communities with their endowments
And flying high the green and white flag
A Nation of immense opportunities
Where peace, unity and justice reigns supreme
Where merit and excellence thrives unfettered
Where violence and corruption is abhorred
A Nation that inspires pride in her people
And breeds confidence and hope in her Neighbours
Where patriotism burns as a fiery fire
And her glittering honour and glory is preserved
This is the Nation I see and the change can start with you and I.
Labour of our heroes past shall not be in vein
So true!
I hail thee NIGERIA our own dear native land.
This is a true and clear discription and picture of what God had in mind for our own great Nation,but unfortunately we have deviated from the “GOD’S BIG PICTURE AND PLAN”). But there’s still hope,lf only we can humble ourselves and pray for mercy. RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS A NATION,BUT SIN IS A REPROACH OR DISGRACE TO THE PEOPLE. IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE. I PLEDGE MY ALLEGIANCE TO MY GREAT COUNTRY NIGERIA.
This is our Nigeria and it becomes what we make of her. I choose also to see the Nigeria you see.
Nigeria, my Nigeria
I love this great nation
Well said Kehny.
I see what you see dear Brother and so shall it be in Jesus name!
God bless Nigeria!
We need a change NOW for this vision to have a hope of coming to pass.
Our selfish natures are apparent everywhere and though we are quick to judge our leaders we fail to see our shortcomings as followers and acknowledge that WE ALL have a role to play.
Micheal Jackson captured this well in his renowned song Man in the Mirror.
Let’s make that change.
Thanks Guys, well said. If only we could daily walk according to our National Pledge, this Country will be a better place:
I pledge to Nigeria, my Country
To be faithful, loyal and honest
To serve Nigeria with all my strength
To defend her unity and uphold her honour and glory
So help me God
