🇳🇬 NIGERIA AT 65!
<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>
