<p>Nigeria a country with a truckload of stories, of pain, of power. </p><p>A land soaked in promise, yet burdened by trials. </p><p>A nation filled with dreams and despair. </p><p>Yet, here we are. Still breathing. Still pushing. Still hoping.</p><p><br/></p><p>From her inception, we were thrown into a rigmarole a cycle of systems that didn’t serve us, of leaders who spoke change but birthed chaos. </p><p>Yet we, the people, have never stopped believing.</p><p><br/></p><p>We believed not because we saw immediate results, </p><p>But because hope is hardwired into the Nigerian soul. </p><p>Because rising from ashes is what we do. </p><p>Because every fall is just another reason to rise louder.</p><p><br/></p><p>65 years on and Nigeria is still on all fours but her people? </p><p>We are upright. We are unshaken. We are marching.</p><p><br/></p><p>To the Nigerian citizen, </p><p>The market woman who still opens shop at dawn, </p><p>The student who studies by candlelight, </p><p>The father walking miles for work, </p><p>The youth building dreams from dust, </p><p>This Independence Day is yours.</p><p>You are the soul of this nation. </p><p>You are the survivor, the fighter, the fire. </p><p>You’ve stood strong through fuel scarcity, economic inflation, political instability, insecurity, and more and you still show up.</p><p><br/></p><p>You are Nigeria’s greatest resource. </p><p>Not the oil. Not the land. But you.</p><p><br/></p><p>As we mark 65 years, we cry for judgment, we pray for Christ’s intervention, and we long for true transformation. </p><p>But we also raise our heads with pleasant hope, because we know: </p><p><br/></p><p>If Nigeria’s citizens can survive this long, </p><p>Then Nigeria still has a future. </p><p>And it begins with us.</p><p><br/></p><p>Happy 65th Independence Day to every Nigerian. </p><p>Your strength is your protest. </p><p>Your survival is your power. </p><p>Your hope is your revolution.</p><p><br/></p><p>Na we be the country. </p><p>Na we be the change. </p><p>And no matter how dark it gets </p><p>We move.</p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
