@Omojuwa No right thinking person will kick against infrastructures development.
When Lagos - Ibadan expressway was constructed, how many vehicles piled the road. Today, it is fast becoming inadequate.
A South African 🇿🇦 praises Nigerians, and in her words she said;
“Nigerians, today, no one is going to insult you, stop what you’re doing and listen. You’re not going to explain yourself anymore, today, we are giving you your flowers, the world knows your name but I’m not sure if it knows you”
She reiterated “Nigeria, your history did not start with slavery, it didn’t start with colonization, more than 2000 years ago, the Nok were making arts 🎭 with Iron, then the Ile-Ife”
She added, “Then you gave us Wole, the first African Noble Laureate in Literature, you gave us Fela Kuti, then Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, Tems, Arya Star, Rema, you took your sound and made the world dance 💃”
She continued, “Then you built Nollyhood, you didn’t not wait for Hollywood to tell the African stories, you picked up your camera and told your own, and everyone knew Mr Ibu.”
Talking about sports, she also mention that, “In football, you became the first African country to win the Olympics in 1996. Anthony Joshua, 2X Heavyweight Boxing Champion”
“Nigerians, your children are everywhere, Business, Medicine, Law, Technology, Universities, Sports, Music, Films, Literature…I can go on and on…”
—A South African Lady says
Happy birthday, my darling, @ToyinSaraki.
You have given so much of yourself to our family and to the women and children whose causes you have championed with courage and an uncommon sense of duty.
I am proud of the lives you have touched and of the grace with which you continue to serve.
May this new year and the many after it bring you as much love, light and happiness as you have brought into our lives.
Happy birthday. ♥️
Your Excellency Erelu Toyin Ojora Saraki, Princess Royal of Ijora Kingdom and Iganmu Lands, Erelu Bobajiro of Iru Lands, Von Sabuke of Kaiama Kingdom,
Every crown carries a choice, to be worn, or to be spent. You chose to spend yours, on the midwife in a rural clinic, on the mother who survives childbirth because someone built the infrastructure of care around her, on the girl who grows up believing health and dignity are not favours but rights. That is a rarer nobility than blood confers, though yours carries both.
Four thrones; Ijora, Iganmu, Iru, Kaiama, is not a coincidence of lineage. It reads more like a summons, that wherever royalty touched your name, it would find work already waiting to be done. Decades into that work, the throne and the vocation have become difficult to tell apart, which is exactly as it should be. They don’t make them like you anymore for you are an outlier even amongst outliers.
On this birthday, I do not merely celebrate the years, I celebrate the compounding of a life given deliberately, in an age that mostly gives itself away by accident. May the dawn that follows this one meet you neither slower nor smaller, but simply further along the road you chose before anyone was watching. I am super glad to be a mentee that remains teachable.
With the deepest respect and admiration,
Segun Awosanya (Segalink) 🪴
@originalproflle You see what I mean, you can't beat a child, still you don't want him to cry. Things are tough for Nigerians, let them express their pains. Our leaders should come forward to tell us what they have done or doing to to reduce economy hardship.
@instablog9ja For heaven sake someone should be able to ask our politicians tough question(s). Hate or like him @ruffydfire is acting this role on behalf of Nigerian like me. Do Mr lere watch Kemi at UK parliament? Citizen want to know how they are governed please
