When i saw this picture,i was at school and getting ready for ward rounds. I looked at it and laughed.
I laughed because i read the statement about the listed countries and Nigeria just had to be in it;oh well.
Nigeria's image at home and abroad needs to change!#wordnow!
I believe it's very easy to judge and rebuke some of the motives Nigerians have towards some actions which they take,we have earned quite a reputation around the world anyways;but I'll like to say 3 things:
- To Nigerians: We have a long way to go,everyone knows that;but let's celebrate the things that are thriving right now around here-our music(Starboy Wizzy,Davido,Falz the bahd guy to mention just a few)fashion(the Wellington's televised wedding opened my eyes to see that we have very talented fashion designers around here),housing (which we're hoping will spread to other areas) and even entertainment( our series nowadays are popping mehn-Jenifa's diary,battleground,Jemeji;even the movies are becoming recognized worldwide,has anybody forgotten Wedding party so soon?);and then do our best to improve the rest-we might not even be alive to see all the changes for the better,but we should be consoled with the fact that every country started somewhere-even the USA.

Toju Foyeh is the designer of these dresses-very Nigerian.
To every other country: Judge us all you want,but never forget that your own country-no matter how nice-looking or widely recognised,has its own issues.
Everyday hustle in the city that literally never sleeps.
Beautiful! And no I'm not biased.To countries that struggle just like us: There is God-who created the whole world and all countries in it,who knows everything that happens,who sees all-whether you believe it or not;He will look after you,just believe.
