A Call to Action- Nigeria's True Independence. 


Fellow Nigerians,

As we commemorate our 64th independence anniversary, let us reflect on our nation's journey and the challenges we still face. Despite shedding colonial rule, Nigeria's true freedom remains elusive.


Challenges to Overcome

1. Multidimensional Poverty: Economic growth hasn't translated to equitable wealth distribution.

2. Corruption: Endemic graft undermines trust and hampers development.

3. Internal Oppression: Social injustices, inequality, and regional disparities persist.

4. Religious Intolerance: Divisive rhetoric and actions hinder unity.

5. Youth Disillusionment: Cyber crimes and idleness threaten our future.

6. Insecurity of Lives and Properties: Threats from Boko Haram, banditry, kidnapping, and porous borders have made Nigeria a high-risk zone.


The Path to True Independence

1. Economic Empowerment: Harness natural resources, promote entrepreneurship, and invest in infrastructure.

2. Good Governance: Ensure transparency, accountability, and visionary leadership.

3. Education and Skills Development: Equip youths with 21st-century skills.

4. Unity and Inclusivity: Foster national cohesion, respecting diversity.

5. Anti-Corruption Reforms: Strengthen institutions, punish offenders.


Collective Responsibility.

1. Demand accountability from leaders.

2. Engage in constructive dialogue.

3. Support entrepreneurship and innovation.

4. Promote education and skills training.

5. Empower women and marginalized groups.


Vision for Nigeria's Future

1. A nation where wealth creation replaces poverty.

2. A society where hard work, skills, and education guarantee success.

3. A country where leaders serve with integrity.

4. A people united, embracing diversity.


Call to Action

Join hands to:

1.Build a culture of transparency and accountability.

2. Foster entrepreneurship and innovation.

3. Invest in education and skills development.

4. Promote unity and inclusivity.

Together, we can achieve Nigeria's true independence.


Happy Independence Day!
