Nollywood actress and media personality, Iretiola Doyle recently dropped some essential words of advise as the nation crossed the 60th year milestone. In the social media post which she made to celebrate the nation at 60, she pointed out how the awful remarks that many Nigerians use in describing the country could negatively affect the country and also become their reality.
She wrote:
“A land that is consistently cursed will not yield us…how do we expect to prosper? You are exactly who and what you say you are.
When you say a country is useless, remember, a country is not just a geographical location…it is the PEOPLE. Unless your passport is of a different colour; that’s you and I.
Faith, speaks of things that are not, as though they are…
And though it feels like “60 going on 10” and our current existence is in direct contradiction,
I say, NIGERIA …you are great, you are prosperous…it is well with you and all who reside within your boundaries.
We’ve been through so much, it’s looking like there will be more, but through it all WE. WILL. PREVAIL.
