I pledge to Nigeria my country. To be faithful, loyal and honest. To serve Nigeria with all my strength. To defend her unity, and uphold her honour and glory. So help me God.
The above prayer is the Nigerian national pledge. I remember the first time I said these lines, I think it was in my Primary School. I consider it a true prayer from the heart, committing to something great
The pride of nationhood cannot be over-emphasized, it gives that identity, dignity and confidence that one belongs to something great and enduring.
This is the focus of The Word Café Podcast in this 23rd Episode. Nigeria is my Country and I consider her a miracle. She (Nigeria) is the most populous black nation on earth with a very complex people spread in terms of diversity and ethnicity, each of which yearns for identity and belonging. This yearning has brought about so much agitations within the nation. One thing which I have come to see about the Nigerian spirit is one that has defied logic and have created this unique voice of resilience that cannot be denied globally.
