Nigeria will rise again!
By Olusina Thorpe
In 2009, a popular girls’ music group, Kush, sang an endearing song about Nigeria. In that song, they called on Nigerians to live in unity, emphasising that “our strength is in our diversity’.
The diversity in Nigeria has since posed a recurring challenge for the country. We have survived a protracted civil war, as well as numerous socio-political adversities.
Being a Nigerian means different things to different people. To some, being a Nigerian equals being strong, resilient and focused, while to others it means being confident, kind and humorous. What is, however, not in doubt is that a typical Nigerian loves life. He is optimistic. He is loving and hospitable irrespective of ethnic or religious affiliation.
