Nigeria is indeed great.

I am a Nigerian.
I am one in 5 Africans.
I am one in 8 Black people, anywhere in the world.
I am a Nobel Prize Winner.
An Olympic Gold Medalist.
A Grammy Award Winner.
A Soccer Champion.
A Prince of the Vatican.
An Oscar Nominee.
A Giant of Literature.
A Distinguished Scientist.
A Musical Icon.
My roots lie in the dusty Sahel of the North; in the rich rain forests of the East;
in the Savannah plains of the West; in the oil-filled swamps of the Delta;
in the warmth of our villages and the vibrance of our cities.
My strength flows from the waters of the Niger and the Benue.
My joy springs from the rush of Gurara Falls and the natural wonders of Yankari.
Nigeria is my rock.
Nigeria is my hope.
Nigeria is my home.
I am the voice of two hundred tribes, speaking three hundred languages.
I am the dance of the circle of life.

I am the laughter of the world’s happiest people.
I am nourished by the crop of the soil, fed by the bounty of the rivers.
I am your neighbor.
I am your friend.
I am a warrior, priest, king.
I am a mother, teacher, queen.
I am my brother’s keeper.
I am a sage from an ancient civilization.
I am a child in the youngest nation on earth.
I am the beauty,
I am the sound,
I am the vision,
I am the spirit,
I am the passion,
I am the soul of a Continent.
I am a Nigerian.
I am the HEART OF AFRICA
By Nkiru Asika

Happy independence Nigeria.

Happy democracy day Nigeria

LESSONS FOR DEMOCRACY DAY Democracy day in Nigeria is a day set aside in Nigeria every year to celebrate the coming back to Democratic system of governance in Nigeria. Despite the way it has been practiced in Nigeria, it is still for me better than military rule as one is guaranteed protection of their fundamental human rights under a democratic dispensation. Aside the guarantee of protection of one's human rights, it also gives one the privilege of aspiring to be anything you want to be, provided it is legal. Democracy depicts freedom meaning that it is a system where freedom is guaranteed. Thinking about democracy, what comes to my mind is that God is the Author of democracy. How? You may want to ask For the singular fact that he made man as a free moral agent, makes me believe that democracy originates from God. However, despite our freedom to choose or do what we want to do, how come we are still living below ideal standards? Why aren't we up there yet eith...

Stop Cheating

STOP CHEATING!!! Hopping from one partner to the other is not the best. Stick to one partner and do all you can to make him or her happy. The truth is this There is no partner that is baggage free, meaning that they all are linked to one challenge or the other. Sticking to one partner by being faithful is what will give you real happiness. Cheating is very expensive as you would need to go the extra mile to make your multiple partners happy...though happiness in this case is not certain. Some people think that having multiple partners makes one happy, but in reality, it is an erroneous belief. Give that relationship your best, exhaust every avenue to make it work before calling it quit in the event that things seems adamant to working out. Ooops!!! Wait a minute!!! Do you think that I'm referring to romantic relationships? If that's what you think I'm referring to, well it's not. I'm referring to your relationship with your dream. Now that y...
