I Refuse The Temptation To Flee My 'NIGERIANESS!'

Nigeria makes me who I am
And my identity will forever remain GREEN.
I refuse the temptation to flee my 'Nigerianess'
I am Nigerian by right, a privilege I hold sacred.
This black nation makes me in the same way that I make her
She begins and ends with me..and many like me
It is human nature to be rebellious, proud, selfish, greedy and naive
And Nigerians have the capacity to shade all these traits, weaknesses, challenges and limitations..
Because we live with  huge reserves of opportunities for growth and development
This quality makes Nigeria and her people real.
If you don't want to associate with or belong in a country like Nigeria
Show me that country without flaws.
There is no shame in being Nigerian.
Tame your wistful lost for 'greener pastures'
Be a resource, not a liability.
