MOTHER NIGERIA

If Nigeria were a person, she would be a 56 year old woman. A woman with numerous kids and husbands that come and go. She’s the woman she is today because her husbands keep taking and they never give, they take for their family, they take for their mistresses, they take for their kids with other women, they take her body, soul and essence, even when she’s down and broken, they still keep taking. Every husband leaves her a little broken (some more than others) but she has to keep believing that there’s still a chance she could find The one. She meets another man after a few years, he promises to take care of her and the children and make life better for them by improving their standard of living. She needs to believe so badly that she can one day find love, that the next man will be the right man and won’t take her for granted; so after much persuasion from different potential suitors, she settles on the one she believes in the most and sometimes, they end up treating her worst than the previous husband. As a child of Nigeria, what are my options? Can a child hate her mother? No matter how broken The Motherland may be, we love her anyway because out of her were we born. You can go far and wide, you can change your accent and your appearance but you can not scrub Nigerian out of your skin.
Together, we are unbreakable.
I believe that i can make a difference and i’m going to try with my sweat
I believe that my generation will create the change we so desire
I must believe that better days are ahead. We must believe.
Dear children of Nigeria, gone are the days when we hope that our prayers can change the state of the economy and make the currency stronger. It is your responsibility as a Nigerian to grow the country too in your own little way. When we combine all’ our little way' we make a very big way. Do your part, do not play the victim endlessly, you can be the hero that the country needs, look to the works of your hand and create.
