A Message of Hope to commemorate the Independence Day…

A SPEECH BY THE GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE, HIS EXCELLENCY, CHIEF WILLIE OBIANO TO MARK THE 54TH INDPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION. OCTOBER 1, 2014.

Ndi Anambra

It is with a sense of mission, hope and belief in a brighter future for our country, Nigeria, and our beloved Anambra State that I address you today on the occasion of our 54th Independence Anniversary.

As we mark this great day in our nation’s history, we do it with our heads held up high. This is because, when we cast our minds back to where we are coming from, we shall be grateful for how far we have come as a people. When we remember the Biafran Civil War and the successive military regimes we have survived as a country; when we remember June 12 and the numerous ethno-religious crisis we have overcome together, we shall find a reason to celebrate yet another Independent Anniversary.

Full Text of the 2014 Independence Day Broadcast by President Jonathan

2014 Independence Day Broadcast by

His Excellency, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR

Wednesday 1st October, 2014

Fellow Nigerians:

1.             Today marks the 54th anniversary of our country’s independence as a sovereign nation.  This is also the tenth month of our journey into a new century, having marked the centenary of our nation in January this year. 

2.             The first one hundred years were marked by triumphs and tribulations, benefits and burdens, opportunities and challenges.  We made some far reaching advances in building a strong, united and prosperous nation.  We also overcame the forces of disunity that culminated in a debilitating civil war.  We have also renewed our faith in one another, and in our country. We have proven that we are truly a resilient nation.

3.             In my address to the nation last year, I did emphasize that we were in a sober moment in our country. We are still in that mood in spite of the many accomplishments of our administration. Our sombreness has to do with the crises of nationhood occasioned by the activities of terrorist elements who have done the unimaginable to challenge our unity as a people. 

Happy Independence Anniversary! Happy Birthday to Nigeria @ 54!! #ProudlyNigeria

Happy Independence Anniversary to Nigerians...

Happy Birthday to Nigeria...

Wow!

Nigeria is 54!

Joy and Greatness are your rewards for being a Patriot!

Happy Anniversary!!!
