The Nigeria-state is underpinned by diversity in ethnicity, religion, and language, an uncommon heritage that Nigerians all-over the world pride themselves on. The celebration of this diversity is what has been tagged “Nigeria day” celebration.

Kwankwaso and Fashola—a possible presidential ticket combo? I am not a politician; I careless, APC, PDP… frankly, I detest politicians. I simply value good people, the God-fearing and progressive leadership. I see possibility in this. I see hope. Hey, they may steal 10% of our wealth, but with 90% they will build a GREAT Nation!
