If you want to progress in Nigeria the Government will cut out funds, destroy the roads, deny you electricity and seize fuel. #NigeriaAt58 https://t.co/OwoPuOzrlF

At 33 we had Hope ‘93-dashed!
Then @ 39,democracy was back-Hope!
It dimmed. Democracy led nowhere. Brutality&corruption continued. PDP threatened to rule for 60yrs!
Hope again @ 54! CHANGE came! We made it!
Now its #NigeriaAt58.
No change.
Hope lost.
Nothing to celebrate.

“Oh God of creation, direct our noble cause.
Guide our leaders right, help our youths the truth to know.
In love and honesty to grow and living just and true.
Great lofty heights attain.
To build a nation where peace and justice shall reign.”
