Joe Igbokwe: Hating Nigeria Will Hinder Your Progress
A prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, has emphasized the importance of patriotism, stating that Nigerians who harbour hatred toward their country may struggle to succeed in their pursuits.
Igbokwe shared this message in a post on his official Facebook page as part of the celebrations for Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day anniversary.
In his post, Igbokwe urged Nigerians to appreciate and cherish their homeland, stating, “Believe that you hold a beautiful country in your hands.
Love Nigeria, and in return, Nigeria will love you back. Celebrate Nigeria, and Nigeria will celebrate you. Honour the nation, and it will honour you.”
He further expressed that those who choose to despise the country might find it hard to progress within its borders, adding, “If you hate your country, you may not find success here.
Nigeria will favour you just as it has favoured me.”
Igbokwe went on to praise Nigeria’s many advantages, describing it as the most resourceful and fortunate country on the African continent.
He highlighted the nation’s rich potential, pointing out its status as the most populated and educated country in Africa.
He also mentioned the nation’s abundant talent, favourable weather, fertile land, and stunning landscapes.
His comments come as part of broader reflections on Nigeria’s progress and the call for citizens to renew their commitment to fostering a united and prosperous nation.
Lagos State Police react to claims of them taking money from dispatch riders on the Coastal Road in Lagos.
It started after a rumour was shared that police arrest and take money from riders as a demand for high bribes, sometimes reaching ₦200,000, and seize motorcycles if not given.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, then addressed the claims online and stated in his statement that he disagreed that the rumour is true and stated, “The spread of misinformation only causes more harm than good. In this era, we can and must do better.”
It has been announced by the governor of Ogun that Tuesday 3rd of February is a public holiday in order to mark the 50th anniversary of the state creation.
This public holiday declaration was released in a statement by the secretary of the state, Tokunbo Talabi.
He then added that the holiday will provide as a day for the citizens to participate in the activities for the state milestone.
Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
