Someone once asked: “What’s there to celebrate during Nigeria’s Independence Anniversary? In a nation where nothing seems to be working, why should anyone want to celebrate?” Just within a few years of gross mismanagement from bad leadership, many seemed to have forgotten the glory of Nigeria, the giant of Africa, a country so blessed with vast human and natural resources. Instead of celebrating their fatherland on Independence Day, they’d rather mourn and recant it. If only they would take their eyes away from the negatives to see the flickering ray of hope in the not-too-distant horizon. Hope should be celebrated in Nigeria; hope that’s based on the strength of a resilient people who are acclaimed world-wide as “the happiest people on earth” irrespective of past ordeals and misadventure in politics and government. ReachOut Nigeria is a movement dedicated to rekindling hope and a patriotic spirit in Nigerians! It has spawned a new culture in Nigeria by encouraging Nigerians to look forward to Independence Day with zest and positive anticipation; talk about rekindling hope in the hearts of a people!

Did you know that by rebranding yourself, you’re actually rebranding Nigeria? Sure; this is a fact every Nigerian needs to know.

“How do I come in?” you may be wondering.

Well, the way you see yourself goes a long way to affect what our country will turn out to be. Picture a young kid whose parents always call “a good for nothing big head”; he’ll grow up believing he’s a good for nothing, and when the time comes for him to handle a sensitive responsibility, he won’t strive for excellence because of his negative perception of himself.

That’s why rebranding is important; it begins with the individual until it affects the whole nation.

Is there anything about you you’d love to rebrand? Share your comments with us and we’ll be glad to hear from you.

The topic of this lecture ─ Rhapsody of Realities as a first-rate Agent of Social Change ─ requires definitions, however succinct, of some terms that are crucial to an understanding of the subject-matter of the lecture. The lexical definition of the expression “to reach out” is to show that you are interested in somebody and you want to meet and help him/her.

The October 2009 edition of the Rhapsody of Realities daily devotional is special in the sense that it is particularly packaged to commemorate Nigeria’s 49th Independence anniversary celebrations. The introductory page immediately captures this mood as it aggrandizes the euphoria of the moment, setting the tone for the rest of the power-packed articles  specially designed to build into Nigerians the requisite godly virtues that’ll engender a more positive and productive attitude in the approach to nation building.

Celebrating The Hope And Future of The  Good People Of A Great Nation!!! – A Christ Embassy Initiative!

Pre-independent and post-independent Nigeria saw ethnocentrism, tribalism, sectarianism (especially religious), and neopatrimonialism play a visible role in Nigerian politics, while economic development was hindered by years of military rule, corruption, and mismanagement. The resultant effect of this on the polity was poor healthcare delivery, poor living conditions, insecurity and high crime rate, negligence in educational sector and a near-state of anomie amongst other objectionable ordeals.

 “All that is required in our nation for our prosperity, security and progress will come from within us” To be involved in positive nation building, we must be willing and ready to give our best. Someone rightly said “you cannot give what you do not have.”So it therefore follows that to give the best you must first invest the best in yourself. This is why as citizens of our great country Nigeria we must develop the best attitude, the best character and the best personality.

Whatever you do now, do it the best way the first time. There is no poverty for the man who has made an investment in his mind and is willing to act. Make yourself an extraordinary wealth of resources. Invest the best in yourself so that when I need you, you can give me the best and when you need me I can give you the best in return and when we put the best together we can have a thriving nation.

Prayer for the Nation

Dear Father I pray that through the power of your spirit I invest the best in myself that I may be useful to my fellow citizens and to the growth and development of my country Nigeria. Amen
