Nigeria TodayNigeria is the most populous black nation on earth and the origin of some of the world's best, but the vessel of the nation appears to be anchored at a state of rest and our best is yet to be expressed within our borders. It thus becomes a deep-seated concern for any patriotic citizen of our motherland that the supposed giant of Africa has not taken her rightful place amongst the nations. We believe its high time external and internal forces began acting on the vessel of the nation lest we all drown. Even if we have to walk slowly, we must neither walk backwards nor stand still.

What’s my business?We will keep complaining and may
remain “looked down upon” if no one cares. Young people are the link between today and tomorrow - the ones who should decide tomorrow’s fateThe young people of Nigeria must rise to the challenge of weaving the New Nigeria, the Nigeria of our collective dreams. For how long do we complain?A wise man will leave an inheritance for his children’s children: If you don’t care, will your kids grow up experiencing the same things you hated seeing?The worth of life is measured by donation and not duration
