We are 100


One hundred years ago this great nation was born. Not by choice, but it was destiny.

Nigeria, Africa’s Giant, filled with diversity in culture, beliefs but unified under our ‘green-white-green’.

United we stand, divided we fall. Giants can be easily seen from afar. Nigeria is on the world’s stage. Together we can rule strong but hate will rot us all from the inside out. The enemy is out there, not within, if we kill our brothers, on the day of real adversity who will fight with and for you? When no one is left, we will be destroyed by a finger flick.

Our diverse tribes are our beauty! It shows of our glory. Everyone of us has value, we need to build each other up. The strongest athlete is one who is completely healthy in every part of their body.

Internal deception, internal ignorance & internal hate are foolishness.

Our diverse beliefs show our ability to accept change.

We are giants on the worlds stage, the world is watching, waiting. They will laugh if we fall, they will cheer if we stand. We can choose to be a light.

It’s said that choices determine the results, and this has been proven in your very life.

Then, we can choose to change our fate. We can choose to stop eating the poison being fed for decades past. We can choose not to cheat for personal gain. We can choose to genuinely offer help to those in need. We can choose to use our influence to build our communities. We can choose to combine forces, manpower to improve our businesses and our future. We can choose to ignore the sound of our neighbour’s last names and see every one as green-white-green. Brothers & sisters with the same goal – to have a better tomorrow. We can choose to make our leaders accountable.

We are ONE people.  We are the same people. We have the same goal. We are green-white-green. We are Nigerians.  We are 100. There is a real enemy and it is not within us.  It’s in the ignorance & poverty killing our people.

 

We must protect our legacy.

We must protect our unity.

We must protect our Name.
