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!

 “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
