As a true Delta State Queen, and a Nigerian to the roots, I celebrate with my Motherland, the true giant of Africa, my beloved country, NIGERIA. • A land flowing with milk and honey and a lot of untapped resources. A land filled with with a vibrant youth population and so much talent yet to be discovered. Nigeria, my beautiful Motherland, you have shaped me into who I am through different experiences, I wouldn’t have had it any other way. You have brought the best out of me and I will forever be proud of you. I will fly your flag all across the globe and live in Peace & Unity with all men. The sweat and blood of our founding fathers The trials and travails of our heroes past The pain and agony of all those who paved way for us have become the fuel that powers our passion. God Bless Delta State, the BIG HEART of the Nation God Bless the Federal Republic of NIGERIA!!!

As we celebrate Nigeria at 60 today let’s remember that change begins with us. Let’s not lose hope of the fact that one day and I pray it comes soon enough, the Nigerian system will one way or the other be on our side in terms of jobs, infrastructure, health and so on. Meanwhile today let’s do something for our county ????????. It can be as little as saying no to littering ????. It constantly feels like we are not where we should be at all but let’s appreciate the baby steps still. We can make this happen my people. Happy Independence Day Nigeria .
