When I think of my dear homeland, thou
ght we face some economical and leadership challenges there are too many things that made me proud of being a Nigerian. This gives me hope, keeps my faith grounder and believes that greater days are ahead.
The rich and fertile farmland
In Nigeria, we are not just blessed with abundant land but they are rich and fertile which brings us to being a country rich in agricultural products. From the North to the West, East and South we all have more than one local delicacy. Like pounded yam from the West, Tuwo in the North and fufu and pepper soup from the South. The king of them all, our Naija jollof rice. Our rich, vast land and local foods are some of the things that made me proud as a Nigerian. Anywhere I go in the world I will always crave our delicacies.

My People
We found strength in our diverse ethnic groups with about 371 tribes and the main three tribes are Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo. I came from one of the minority tribes Ebira. I'm a proud Ebira lady.
Nigerian people are our brothers and sisters' keepers, we always strive to be better. We are goals-getters no matter what is standing in our way, we are resilient and hardworking and for this I'm happy about where I come from.
This country is my home and no matter where I go or become tomorrow it will always be my one and only home. For this I love my country.
Do you think your country has all it takes to help you develop as a person?
Other areas we are still facing challenges, are the education sector and low electricity supply, so if I'm going to develop into my full potential these areas will play a key role that the present Nigeria is not having. If I'm to remain here then I will have to put more effort in order to achieve my aims compared to my mates in a developed country.
If you could leave for another country, would you? If yes or no, explain why
My answer to this is yes, In fact my family and I are currently considering this option, some preliminary plans are already in play which i'm praying it works out for our favor. The plan is to go to a developed country, get better at what we choose, then come back to impact our homeland. This is what those developed countries have been doing and it is working for them. I don't wish to relocate and live forever in that country but go out there, explore their opportunities then come back home to impact my knowledge.

I see myself as my country's home girl, if I have the money there are so many opportunities to explore here in Nigeria. As a developing country, there are a lot of investment opportunities and so much this land can offer me to live and enjoy.
Talking about enjoyment, we have so many things here to explore, like the beaches, the resorts and the waterfalls, the hotels, music and nightlife, the food is one of my favorite areas as a foodie heheh.

Our Culture
My dear homeland is rich in culture, every ethnicity with their unique cultural ways of life.

The Emir and his entourage ride through a number of quarters housing historically significant families before returning to the palace via the Kofar Kudu gate for the Jahi - the horsemen's salute. The Palace guards march into position after the Jahi and fire several gunshots into the air, signaling the end of the Hawan Daushe Durbar."
