fearing child”.
“Nigeria is a God gifted nation and
Nigeria is blessed. I am happy to be
a Nigerian. Here in South Africa,
Nigerians are dominating. It's a
place you come to enjoy. Nigerians
here are supportive, they come here;
they make it” she stated. In her final
words she noted, “I appreciate
everyone that make up their time
here to celebrate with us. It's not
easy to come and support us. I thank
them all. I wish them good luck in all
