  1. My country, my country, my country Nigeria,
    I love you so much,

    I love Nigeria because I have the freedom to be free and be who I want to be.

    I love Nigeria because it is diverse and rich in culture,

    I love Nigeria because it is beautiful,

    I love Nigeria because it is a land filled with milk and honey,

    I love Nigeria because it is a land where people value individual rights and freedoms.

    I love how welcoming and friendly everyone is to people of all backgrounds. I hope this never changes.

    I love how I am free to criticize something I do not like, without fear of reprisal or punishment.

    I love Nigeria because human rights, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are highly valued.

    I love that I was able to find love in Nigeria.

  2. I would state my love for my country with this poem which I will call – I LOVE HER

    I love a sunburnt country,
    A land of sweeping plains,
    Of ragged mountain ranges,
    Of droughts and flooding rains;
    I love her far horizons,
    I love her jewel-sea,
    Her beauty and her terror-
    The wide green land for me!

    Core of my heart, my country!
    Land so green and gold,
    For flood and famine and insurgency
    She pays us back threefold,
    Over the thirsty paddocks,
    Watch after many days,
    The filmy veil of greeness,
    That thickens as we gaze.

  4. I love Nigeria because it is the country where I was born, and it’s my father’s country, what I really love about Nigeria is that God has blessed him with so many people, many tribes, and so on peace and prosperity. peaceful, and for unity, I love Nigeria because it’s the country which give freedom to all of it’s citizens, you have freedom to leave where ever you want and no fear of any tribalism and we have many traditional rulers.
    I Love Nigeria because it is a land of endless opportunities and possibilities. Nigeria is one country I believe the world is yet to experience it true potentials. I believe Nigerians are sharp, brilliant and accommodating people.

  5. Africa is the future, Nigeria is her giant – It’s obvious to the world that global prosperity going forward will hinge heavily on Africa and Asia. I love Nigeria because we are divinely, strategically located and placed in Africa Nigeria is the land of opportunity. It is pretty much a virgin market with capacity for many business ideas. If you have a brilliant idea and the funding, you will make so much money in Nigeria. Why? There are over 160 million people and a large informal market of consumers. If you identify the right market segment and establish a business, your profit margin will go through the roof. For instance, at the advent of mobile phones in the country, a South African company, MTN, came into the country as one of the first foreign investors. It is said that the company makes more profits from Nigeria are higher than its home country.

  6. I love my country Nigeria because its the best place for any entrepreneur to flourish.
    Nigerians is the most populous black nation with over 160 million people and a large informal market of consumers making investment opportunities a great deal. Nigeria is the land of opportunity. It is pretty much a virgin market with capacity for many business ideas. If you have a brilliant idea and the funding, you will make so much money in Nigeria.. If you identify the right market segment and establish a business, your profit margin will go through the roof. Take for instance, at the advent of mobile phones in the country, a South African company, MTN, came into the country as one of the first foreign investors. It is said that the company makes more profits from Nigeria are higher than its home country.
    The UK government in 2011, described Nigeria as the world’s fourth fastest growing economy with solid growth expected in the next five years. As you can see Nigeria’s market is indeed very promising. With over 160 million potential customers you simply can’t go wrong. Nigeria is thr best ppace i can essily turn my dreams into reality.I Love Nigeria.

  7. Nigerians have an uncanning resilience that is rare among other nationalities. We are very adaptable. How else do you explain that we have adjusted to the fuel price, along with the other price hike? In fact, I am bold enough to change the expression of “Warri no dey carry last” to “Naija no dey carry last.”

    I want to tell you that one other reason I love my country is because of our women. It is only a Nigerian woman that can have five children (& still want more), be married to a difficult man, cook his meal, wash & iron his clothes, and still get to church 4 times a week and praise God alone for all that “blessings.” The husband probably is sitting at home or may even drop her and the children off at church. Have you seen a Nigerian woman getting dressed and tying her “gele” (head gear – forget the spelling). I am lovingly amazed when I watch my wife getting dressed. Only a Nigerian woman can kneel down before her mother-in-law and apologize, even when she has done nothing wrong. That will not happen in the west. It is also a Nigerian woman that will bear the blame for childlessness (I hate the phrase barrenness) even though the husband may be shooting blanks or fails to provide the chromosome (XY) for the invaluable male child. What about the fact the ugliest Nigerian woman can still make shakara for any man and put him in his place. If you are reading this and your wife, mother, sister or daughter is alive, give them a high five. This is to all my Naija women.

    Our outlook on marriage is another reason why I love my country. If you are a Nigerian woman and your husband has not paid your bride price, he is just borrowing you for free. When we marry, it is the joining of two families. Whereas abroad, you have no fault divorce that you can obtain in less than 21 days, a Nigeria man that wants to divorce his wife may hear his elder brother (or uncle) say something like, “na our wife O!. Na me marry am 4 u. We no go ask them to return any bride price, Na do or die O!”

    Economically, Nigeria is the only place where you can receive over 1,000 percent return on your investment (ROI). In fact, many times tax-free. I hope no one from Inland Revenue office reads this portion. The reason why there are many foreigners and multinationals in Nigeria is because of our investment climate. Most of them cannot make in their country what they make in Nigeria. I tell people that with hard work, perseverance, networking and faith, Nigeria is the place to be, especially for investment. The love for my country does not make me ignorant of the challenges that abound; instead, it makes me more resolute in certain endeavors. Why won’t you love a country like this if you are business minded?

    Another reason why I love my country is that as the largest black nation, our potentials are innumerable and inexhaustible. Yes, Nigeria is the giant of Africa, yes, it is the richest black nation, yes, it has the smartest people around the world, yes, it has the most confident people that I have seen in all my travels, and yes, we have a long way to go. The confidence that Nigerians exude is one of the reasons why some other nationalities have a love/hate relationship with us. Many envy us. Some Caribbean men dislike us because their women gravitate towards our men. Some other groups cannot fathom how come some of the brilliant brains in their own countries are Nigerians. I am aware that it is this same potential that makes some Nigerians to be overwrought with ambivalence. This vacillation usually comes with great potential and any life coach will tell you that if you can overcome this “analysis paralysis” you will soar and achieve your destiny. Excuse the big grammar, but let me break it down. Those wen Chineke God bless, need to use am make e no spoil rotten.

    Finally, whether you like it or not, Naija b Naija. You are still green white green. Even if you naturalize, that name will give you away. In fact, with all the fone, your accent is still lurking underneath. You may eat all the jerk chicken or Italian Fra Diablo you want, but that craving for jollof rice, amala, akpu or nsala will still hit you, albeit once in a while. The variety of our food is worth loving.

  9. Africa is the future, Nigeria is her giant – It’s obvious to the world that global prosperity going forward will hinge heavily on Africa and Asia. I love Nigeria because we are divinely, strategically located and placed in Africa.
    2. Nigeria is the most populous black nation – and a buying one at that. From a capitalist point of view, this makes for a great investment opportunities.
    3. Nigeria is the land of opportunity. It is pretty much a virgin market with capacity for many business ideas. If you have a brilliant idea and the funding, you will make so much money in Nigeria. Why? There are over 160 million people and a large informal market of consumers. If you identify the right market segment and establish a business, your profit margin will go through the roof. For instance, at the advent of mobile phones in the country, a South African company, MTN, came into the country as one of the first foreign investors. It is said that the company makes more profits from Nigeria are higher than its home country.
    4. An expanding commercial market. Lagos is currently the second most populous city in Africa, following Cairo. The United Nations predicts that by 2025 Lagos will be the 11th largest city in the world.
    5. The UK government in 2011, described Nigeria is the world’s fourth fastest growing economy with solid growth expected in the next five years.
    6. The size (population) of the country, Nigeria, makes it a potential business/salesperson’s paradise (over 160 million potential consumers — the largest market in Africa).
    7. Nigeria’s market is indeed very promising. With over 160 million potential customers you simply can’t go wrong.
    8. Nigeria is Africa’s largest mobile market with over 85 million subscribers.
    9. Recent developments in the payments space means that online and mobile transactions will make a huge footprint in the coming years. There’s never been a better time to get Nigerian businesses taking advantage of the internet and the wide range of opportunities that come with it. This works especially well for those selling products.
    10. Nigeria is the largest market in Africa for Guinness and the second largest globally, after UK, since it overtook Ireland in 2007. Nigeria owing to its market size, is predicted to take the lead ahead of the UK by 2014.
    11. Nigeria, previously viewed as a risky investment environment, is gradually becoming the investors target especially with the growing middle class. The Fast Moving Consumer Goods market in 2011 has experienced much expansion with multinationals like Coca-Cola Hellenic, Heineken and PZ Cussons increased investments in their local units.
    12. We make frighteningly good use of opportunity when it presents itself. Take a look at communication and the adoption of technology. I daresay that there is no country that adopted faster. If we light up Nigeria today, I assure you, we’ll leap ahead twenty years in two.
    13. Another reason to like Nigeria is because of the future we can see. Because people are becoming more enlightened each day and the youth is more hands-on than ever before; I can be pretty confident that not too long from now, this should be a country to be reckoned with. I like Nigeria for the future I see.
    14. Nigeria is not only about size, it’s about numbers and companies that are not selling in Nigeria are missing out on huge market.
    15. I like Nigeria because it is a land of endless opportunities and possibilities. Nigeria is one country I believe the world is yet to experience it true potentials. I believe Nigerians are sharp, brilliant and accommodating people. Giving the right enabling environment the world will marvel at what Nigeria will become.
    16. The taxation system is a reason to like Nigeria. The Federal government doesn’t impose heavy tax on the labour force. This encourages foreigners to come to Nigeria to work, for there is good pay as well as returns. For instance, in Germany there is dog tax, however in Nigeria, you’re free to own as many dogs as you please without having to bother about paying the government for your pets.
    17. You can sell weave to a woman with perfectly good hair on her head. With over 160 million people making up Africa’s biggest consumer market, you can sell nearly any type of product or service in Nigeria and still have a huge market! People here are just hungry for excellent products – and they’ve got the buying power to back it up!
    18. We confound acclaimed economic models, yet you ignore us at your own peril. In economics, sociology, psychology and politics, Nigerian case studies are worth pursuing.
    19. Unlimited data (well, nearly unlimited) for the Blackberry Internet Service, is relatively cheap when compared with what my colleagues pay in the US and the UK. N3000 for a month? That sounds like a deal, and is especially useful for mobile small businesses. It really helps, considering that the price of regular broadband internet versus what one actually gets is rather expensive.
    20. The fact that Nigeria currently lags behind so much – in infrastructure and developmental terms – hints at the size of the potential for innovation and transformation, and at the huge number of vacancies that exist for ‘transformers’. What I think this means is that the world will be hearing a lot about Nigeria and high-achieving Nigerians (in the public and private sectors) in the near future.
    21. The agricultural potential of Nigeria will make her the envy of developed nations in years to come.
    22. I left a seed of black-eyed bean in my kitchen sink, next day it was already sprouting. Where else in the world does that occur except Nigeria?
    23. Our business environment is very welcoming and full of untapped business opportunities.
    24. Our youth population is a force that can be used for good, and if empowered, will drive Nigeria’s small scale industries potential.
    25. Shopping in traffic jams – the ultimate time saver! The hawker’s market is one that begs economic research.
    26. Nigeria is one of the fastest growing countries in the music and film industry. This is good for investors.
    27. There are LOADS of opportunities. It’s virgin ground for loads of innovation and new unique ideas.
    28. Nigeria is a developing country and this creates an avenue for investment which will foster growth.
    29. Nigeria is the future of the world. Increasing attention from foreign economies is proof positive for this.
    30. There are many economic opportunities, and recent global consulting company reports point to Nigeria and Africa as the future.
    31. Nigeria is the land of opportunity, where you can invest in loads of things {Economic investment}.
    32. Our man power, which has made foreigners form an alliance with us to aid and promote industries and industrial investment.
    33. NIGERIA is that country where you can make good money from businesses with fair tax costs.
    34. Entrepreneurs can flourish in Nigeria. There is a mass market of consumers and many business opportunities.
    35. Innovation and world-changing-ideas abound in infinite quantities in this great country. The only boundary is support.

  10. I know if I don’t love or fight for my country then I know that people who hate us will walk all over us I will fight for my country I will die for my country I will give my last breath someone needs to know that it will bring honour and glory for your country or even fame I know that lots of people wont die for there country but I know that they will have to change diein will bring that stuff to you if you die for your country for what you believe in cause I know I will die for my country…thats how much I love Nigeria
