Nigeria, like every other country has her ups and downs. However, it is better to remain hopeful and work together for a better Nigeria.

Happy Independence Day Nigeria!

Despite many issues surrounding the state of the nation, many people have taken to social media to celebrate Nigeria in their own very unique styles.

Photos of people all dress in the significant colour; green and white, have flooded the Nigerian social media platforms with beautiful messages to accompany them.

A nation not without her own flaws, it is quite impressive to see that a lot of people are still hopeful that Nigeria as a country will get better soon. Even though it is the same message every year, it is refreshing to see optimism in a time like this. Another interesting topic; 7 Nigerian celebrities born on October 1
