 First Lady Celebrates Nigeria @65


Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu has appealed to Nigerians to play their part in building a country they all want to see, with an assurance that their sacrifices will never be in vain.


This is in her message marking the 65th Independence anniversary of Nigeria, captioned “All Hands On Deck For A Greater Nation”.


Referencing the famous quote from the inaugural address of United States of America’s 35th President, John F Kennedy, the First Lady urges Nigerians to ask not what their country can do for them at this time, but rather see what they can do to build the nation.


Also drawing from the 1925 essay “The New Frontier” by Gebran Kalil Gebran, the First Lady asks “Are you a politician, asking what your country can do for you or a zealous one, asking what you can do for your country? If you are the first, then you are a parasite, if the second, then you are an oasis in a desert”. 


She congratulates Nigerians on the 65th anniversary celebration and prays for a prosperous country.
