9th of August was Singapore's 46th Independence Day celebration...The excitement was electrifying! I almost thought I was in a Football World Cup Opening ceremony. I also was there Last year when my dear Country turned 50....The resentment was also electrifying, as it seemed only those in diaspora had something to celebrate. Kai!.. Check these out.

I am happy to read this from you.Yes Naija is truly in shambles.The worst is the mindset of our people.If the mindset can be made right, every other thing will fall in line.We cannot change this country but we can change ourselves.When we change ourselves,our family, our community and indeed our country changes with us. Keep up with this project and do not stop until Nigeria hears you.

I remember clearly how that day was marred. But then the whole polity is heated, people are angry at a non functional government and unfulfilled promises. It's a pity but then we have to really do something fast to avoid serious catastrophe.

I don talk finish.

Tchinny,its wicked and shameful that at 50 we have nothing to show for it.This avenue u hv created is a welcome development for us to trade opinions on the way forward for the chaos called Naija

Growing up to learn how Malaysians and the Singaporeans came to Nigeria in search of greener pasture,now the table has turned... What really happened? Changed is desperately needed in our motherland(even revolutionary one is accepted)... Good to now know that A Nigerian in diaspora is taking the lead! Ride on Mrs Chinenye Cilla Okorie.

...finally someone is ready to nudge us into reality. The Nigerian project is almost dead. Hopefully seeing what may have been will wake us up from our slumber!

Thumbs up!

...i believe, it is a claron call for all nigerians to put their hand on the deck. Must we copy the bad things from other people...we are no more talking about all round kidnapping, the story has changed from kidnapping to bombing of places. I wonder what this nation is turning into.

I believe all we need is one love in this great Nigeria. all that is happening to me looks political and regional stuff. but one love can put things right. Nigeria is a great place.
This is a great work from you.

Peace!
One Love
