Nigeria, an Inspiration to the World, Hope For Africa -US Govt.
Despite the troubles, challenges
plaguing her, the United States Government still believes that Nigeria
is Africa’s light and one nation the world is looking up to.
These were the words of the United States Ambassador to Nigeria,
Stuart Symington, while speaking at an event to mark the 24Ist
independence anniversary of the Unites States.
According to him, one thing that makes
Nigeria great, like America, it her diversity, adding that Nigeria
inspires many countries in the world.
“Every time we have been challenged, we overcame danger because we
had visionary leaders committed to union and citizens committed to
ensuring justice for all,” Stuart Symington said.
“Today , Nigeria is fortunate to have such leaders and citizens . Together , they are dedicated to keeping Nigeria united and just and to ensuring every Nigerian is heard and taken into account and treated fairly .
“Together , those Nigerians will
overpower any call to divide this nation. Thanks to them, thanks to you ,
the lamp of unity and justice burns brightly both in our nations
tonight . And the sight of a united Nigeria ’ s light lifts Africa and
with it, the world. ”
Speaking further, the Ambassador noted that, “ Wherever I meet a
Nigerian , I ask ‘ What do you like the most about your country?’ I like
our diversity , our resilience , our energy , our warmth , our spirit ,
our food.
“Just like the United States , Nigeria is a wonderfully diverse
nation whose differences and diversity are sources of strength and
reason for pride.”
