The proudly Nigerian lapels

It is a product most people don’t like at first, because it represents a place some of us don’t like, are not affectionate about, see a lot of things wrong with it.

A place with untapped potentials that even the one that is tapped goes straight into some people’s pockets. A land of bulbs and darkest, of taps and no water. A land where its youths walk the streets of its major cities in search of jobs and pay that seem not available, while those that have jobs seek to keep them and survive. A land where most look for any means necessary to leave, a land where survive is the motive and to achieve at all cost is the goal.

A nation of GREEN WHITE and GREEN with a silver lining that seems so distance and unclear, but sort after by many, within and without.

Yes ladies and gentleman it is truly a product that people don’t like at first.

But when they consider that no matter what happens, there is still a glimmer, a prospect of hope for the green white green. That some, indispite of the hardship, the toils have carved a niche for themselves, gotten their dream jobs, started their success stories.

Some who had nothing but today are something. Some who left the nation but remember it everyday on Facebook hi5 and MySpace, who show their pride and zeal as green whites where ever they are and are respected because of it. Even some who will brave the distance and work to be within the land because of December, because of family, because of friends.

These are the reasons why when they take a second look, they buy it outrightly and wear it because no matter what, they are still green whites, they are still Nigerians and they are proud about it.

Thanks, its just that when i look at this country i can't just help but be inspired by what one can do if only one decides that his had enough of sitting down and waiting for manner to land in his or her lap.

That the other means would be to challenge one's self to do something to change.

I love Nigerian stuff, especially ankara. I have a couple of those badges. But I think you're advertising.
