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.
It has been reported that a Nigerian won the 2026 Spelling Bee World Championship, which was held in Shanghai, China. The winner, Chinedu Great Okdediachi, has now returned home to Delta State after his victory.
It can be noted that the student had already emerged as one of the Gold Award winners in the Middle School Group category.
“Congratulations once again, Chinedu! Your success continues to inspire young Nigerians to pursue excellence through education. Welcome home, Champion!”
The young star has made Nigeria proud by winning the international competition.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
