Today I remembered some years back when I was in primary school and we were all full of excitement to wave at the present president then during every independence day.
We had on sparkling white socks and neatly ironed uniforms.....Oooh such great memories.All that matters to my young mind and friends then was the opportunity to be able to wave to the president and get a smile from him.
2015.....55years old Nigeria
Today is another October 1st and l woke up early eagerly waiting to hear the presidential speech from the present president(President Muhammad Buhari)and all that matters to my adult mind is the state of the country,provision of basic amenities for the masses,security state of the county,health sector,electricity,education and the list is endless.
Independence day for me is not all about wearing green white green or attending functions . It's all about what the government is doing about the wellbeing of the masses and that little little right act we the masses engage ourselves in.
Are we throwing trash on the floor or throwing it in the dustbin?
How well do we do our jobs in our various fields?
Nigeria is a great country abundantly endowed with lots of minerals resources,diverse cultures, intelligent individuals and richly blessed land.Singing over and again the national anthem gives me the spirit of being a true patriotic Nigerian.....
Reciting the pledge should serve as a source of reminder for every Nigeria our duty to make this country a greater one....
We cannot afford to let the 55 years old country down....
We need to uphold the dreams of our heroes past and make Nigeria great.
The young mind who is all excited to get a glance at the president and share a wave of the flag will one day become the leader of tomorrow.Adult nigerians have a duty to nuture a positive young Nigerian.
For the "young shall grow " The adult mind needs the love of this country to make it greater.
Let's all join hands both young and old to make Nigeria a great Nation.
God bless Nigeria!!!
#Happyindependence
