“However, I acknowledge the challenges Nigeria faces. We’re going through tough times, hardship, and poor governance. But I urge us to recognize that repairing our country begins with each of us.

“We can’t rely solely on the government; we must take individual responsibility. We’ve made our names, money, and livelihoods here. We can’t abandon ship; we must work together to rebuild.

“Charity begins at home:

“Let’s teach our children the right values
“Lead by example
“Be our brother’s keeper
“Foster a sense of community
“Promote integrity and honesty

“By doing right in our homes, communities, and society, we can create a better nation.

“Let’s shun corruption, self-entitlement, and negativity. Let’s raise responsible citizens and work towards a brighter future.

“Nigeria is our home; no other land can replace it. Let’s embrace, celebrate, and improve it together.

“Together, Nigeria can be great again. Thank you, I love you all, and I love Nigeria. God bless NG.”
