"It is a duty that we owe to our great dear father land to enhance her and to boost her in the eyes of all the World." Those were the word that were said on radio as part of a campaign advert in the just concluded elections. I learnt to say them over and over again because I realized how important a duty it is.
Seeing these pictures below blew my mind away and again reminded me of just how important it is for us to enhance Nigeria in the eyes of all the World and bring back the days of glory. We have come a long way, but we have a longer way yet to go!
Enjoy these photos.
