My October 1st lesson...

I sat out with some friends yesterday to celebrate Nigeria's independence and at the same time watch Arsenal destroy Galatasaray. One particular guy (Who ironically is a long standing comedian) was so bitter about the way Nigerians spewed so much negativity about our nation and choosing to rather magnify her dark part on her independence day. (Every country in the world has its issues) Many have compared Nigeria to other long standing developed nations and as such have ended up seeing us as not only backward, but primitive.

He however made one statement which I found quite profound:
''Insulting Nigeria on her independence day, for not being as developed as other 1st world nations, is like insulting your father on his birthday for not being as rich as Dangote''. It made a lot of sense to me. That was my first October lesson. I believe in this nation, and the promise it holds. 

GOD BLESS NIGERIA!!!!
