53RD INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY MESSAGE FROM STEPHEN O. J. ON 1ST OCTOBER, 2013

SPECIAL 53^RD INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY MESSAGE FROM STEPHEN O. J.          ON 1^ST OCTOBER, 2013

Fellow citizens of Nigeria home and abroad, as today 1^st October, 2013 marked Nigeria’s 53^rd independence anniversary; be rest assured that better days are ahead and we would live to enjoy it sooner than soonest. So, let everyone of us start giving judiciously towards the betterment of our great nation. 

It is not a mistake to be a Nigerian inspite of the poor state of the nation in some respects but it is an error for any Nigerian to lose faith in Nigeria. Always be proud of your earthly citizenship of Nigerian origin. I believe things can still get better in this part of the world and Nigeria can be the praise of the earth – a center of Global Attraction.
 

Citizens of the leading nations in the world are not from the mass nor do they have 2 heads. They are only committed to building their societies without equal. When all of Nigerians embrace revolution within (that is: positive shift of our mentality and orientations towards national concerns), the prosperity of Nigeria will stand. We have talked enough about the problems of this nation. Let us begin to proffer credible solutions to all our national challenges.  

The very best life achievable anywhere in the world will also be obtainable here in Nigeria if all the citizens are diligently giving towards making it possible. Come to think of it, we wouldn't always be in a rush to check out of our country to enjoy the goodness of other nations had the people there failed to make their respective fatherlands center of excellence.

I believe the best of Nigeria will surely become - when all of us faithfully work at it with one mind and one voice as a people by pulling down the walls of differences, corruption, Godlessness and lack of patriotism that is destroying us.

Towards building a nation where every citizen count, we should develop a strategy to collectively run this nation in a way that all her components will be richly empowered as a whole. This will rule out biased focus on the development of only a single unit or selected units out of the whole components that make up our country. Either we together live in harmony or we die in agony. Be a true Nigerian - pursue national interest.

Peace and tranquility shall always be our experience in this land - I pray in Jesus name.

To the prosperity of Nigeria I pledge.
OUR DESIRED NIGERIA ................... loading.
