Hi People! Its bright and beautiful day and i hope you are all doing great like i am. Woke up feeling soo Nigerian that i thought to myself, why dont i write about Nigeria today? Why not, i answered back, so lets go there.
Well, with the present security situation in the country, anyone would be tempted to begin a negative discussion about Nigeria. About how corrupt we all are, how shameless and utterly bad our leaders are, and so on and so forth. Yes! all of that dey, that is why Chinua Achebe rightfully noted in his Essay, The Trouble with Nigeria, whenever two or more Nigerians are gathered discussing, you can be sure they are talking about the sorry state of the Nation. I think we or at least, i, have heard enough of that, so i will be celebrating those little things that make us tick as Nigerians, which we hardly see as virtue and never celebrate.
We are a strong people, who survive daily, conditions that others die under. We love life, difficult as it is, and we live life to the fullest. We are a happy people, whose laughter is always deep, sonorous betraying the hardship we go through. Nigerians are givers, we share even the little we have, celebrate with one another and mourn together in times that call for such. We are a beautiful people, full of talents and potentials, working to harness both, even in the most grueling circumstance. We are a people who never give up, never look down or harbor regrets. We make mistakes, yes! we fail countless times, yes! but it does not deter us. Individually, collectively, we have move on. We are hard workers, we work and survive under hard circumstances. We are battling with insecurity, ahardship, poverty and disease but yet we are so hope full that one day, just one day, we would get better as a people and our country shall take its rightful place in the committee of Nations.
God bless Nigerians,
God bless Nigeria.
