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 was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
