TRIBUTE TO A SLEEPING GIANT @ 58

I pledge to Nigeria my Country.

To be Faithful, Loyal and Honest.

To serve Nigeria withheld all my strength.

To defend Her unity and uphold Her honor and glory.

So help me God.

#NationalPledge

COSTUME INTERPRETATION

The above Green White Green ensemble is a HAUTE COUTURE (high fashion) depiction of a heavily distressed but hopeful Nation.

The Giant of Africa.
The Pride of the Black Race.
The Jewel in the Savannah.

Obviously, the most naturally blessed Nation on the Planet.

Home to the best Delta in the world (Niger Delta)

Home to huge deposits of Coal (Enugu)

Home to huge deposits of Solid Minerals (Nasarrawa)

Home to huge deposits of Gold (Osun)

Home to huge deposits of Tin (Plateau).

Highest Producer of Cassava in the World

Home to some of the most celebrated luminaries in the world (Anambra)

Home to the first Black Nobel Laureate in Literature (Ogun)

Home to the most educated people in the world's greatest nation (The United States)

Obviously the world's most Religiously bigoted people.

Sadly, of all these list of unrivalled greatness, my country is currently enlisted as the world's poorest nation by human population.

Gone are the days I regret being Nigerian because nature whom I'm in tune with made me Nigerian without  my consent.

Therefore inspired by the words of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, JFK (The 35th POTUS), I seek to make my Fatherland proud be it at home or in diaspora.

I look forward to a time when an unlettered and uncertified fashion designer of IGBO  origin (South East Nigeria) would be enlisted as the greatest fashion designer in the world.

Happy 58th Anniversary to Nigeria
