Before 1st

When i learnt to love
I learnt to love Nigeria, my family, the folks that matter
I learnt to love my best friends both male and female
I learnt to love unfettered not all people equally
I love everyone with the love of God

But i open up me and my emotions only to my
family and friends
Everyone else can only have the surface me
I decide who is worth knowing enough to...


Funny thing is that i decided that Nigeria is worth is
cos SHE is my motherland
and i am proud to be Nigerian
Because God chose me to be a Nigerian
Even though i was born somewhere in Europe
I have no feelings whatsoever for that European country
except for it literary value

What am i saying?
I know many Nigerians b**ch about Nigeria a lot
I am different
Even before i was born again, before my rebirth
I already loved Nigeria
I just did not know it, i never wanted to live anywhere else
I still don't want to live anywhere else
I want to live in Nigeria all my life
I'll visit any other country but Nigeria it is for me

I still love Nigeria
She's stuck with me and i am committed to making her work
by contribution
by changing the world around me
Tis pretty difficult
I might not be as determined to change HER as in 2008
but i have not given up
I am not going to.

I love the cities in Nigeria
the ones i have been to more
Benin, Kaduna, Ondo, Lagos more...

What can i say, i love the Abuja i have only seen vicariously
through friends
For me i am a naija babe, or a naija chic
whatever
i just love Nigeria.
