Nigerian disc jockey DJ Cuppy is celebrating Nigeria as it marks its 65th anniversary today.
Taking to her Instagram page to share a clip of herself, Cuppy vowed that in her next life, she will still choose to be a Nigerian. She described Nigeria as her home, birthplace, and country.
The daughter of Otedola noted that, through it all, Nigerians continue to push, persevere, and find joy even in the toughest times. She added that God didn’t rush when He made us and gave us resilience, spirit, and endless energy.
“My birthplace. My home. My country. Today, Nigeria turns 65
Through it all, our people keep persevering and finding joy even in the toughest times…
God didn’t rush when He made us!!! He gave us resilience and spirit. In my next life, would STILL choose to be Nigerian”.
Last year, when Nigeria celebrated its 64 years of gaining independence, Cuppy described Nigeria as her superpower. She admitted that though Nigeria is going through tough times, it remains and will always be a peace of hope. She stated that being a Nigerian is the superpower of her brand as no matter where she goes, she will always carry a piece of Nigeria with her.
Similarly, Funke Akindele expressed her utmost belief that Nigeria would be great again as she kicked against leaving the country. Listing out the things Nigeria has done for her, she declared that Nigeria is a place where talents thrive and opportunities abound, hence, why she would never relocate.
Regina Daniels stated that regardless of how and where the country is right now, we still love the country, and she believes together, we will strive to make the country better.
Tonto Dikeh noted that the challenges in the country are many but they are not insurmountable. She believes with peace as their foundation and justice as our guide, we can forge ahead, strengthening democracy and ensuring that prosperity isn’t just for a few, but for all. She encouraged Nigerians to recommit themselves to building a Nigeria that future generations will inherit with pride.
Meanwhile, Do2dtun slammed those for celebrating the country as he questioned what Nigerians were celebrating. He stated that it is time for a reality check as he noted how things are hard, and it has become a ripple effect where the next person has a prepared speech of blaming the person before him or her.
