Let's look at this lovely country called Nigeria and also explore different aspect of the nation so that you can understand your role in building this nation.
Nigeria is a country that is located in West Africa with over 500 tribes all coming together as a nation. It is the most populous black nation on earth and currently Africa’s largest economy.
The name Nigeria was taken from the Niger River running through the country. This name was allegedly coined in the late 19th century by Flora Shaw, who later married Baron Frederick Lugard, a British colonial administrator
Nigeria gained independence from Britain in 1960 after years of being colonized by them and the nation has produced some outstanding legends like the late Obafemi Awolowo, Tafawa Balewa and Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe to name a few.
The largest ethnic groups in Nigeria are the Igbos, Yorubas and the Hausas. Nigeria is a land of opportunities and the spirit of Nigeria is such that the people are highly creative and can hold their own anywhere they find themselves.
Nigeria is blessed with oil. Even though Nigeria is regarded as one of the greatest countries on earth the biggest challenge that has brought the nation to her knees is leadership.
Over 174millon live in Nigeria and the currency in Nigeria is called Naira. There are lovely places to visit such as Tinapa, Obudu cattle ranch, Ikogosi warm spring, Idanre Hills, Olumo rock, River Niger and Benue, Nikele Resorts and a host of other interesting places.
The nation has got one of the best sporting men in Africa and also dominated by Christianity and Islam.
I love my counyry, how about you. If you don’t like the present Nigeria that you see the power to change things is in your hands and it starts with you living right and seeking to influence others to do right. Together we can bring the change we want. Yes we can. Happy independence day.
My naija my pride
