In respect to that, she shared how a long stay with your country men helps foster a strong sense of community.

Dr. Morayo Afolabi-Brown, amidst the speech, raised the spirit of patriotism amongst the students in attendance as she made the statement:

“There is no messiah anywhere.
There’s a part of sacrifice everyone must be willing to take for a better nation.”

“Nigeria cannot change if we still have the kind of people we have today. Nigeria can only be fixed if you and I begin to participate in governance.”

Following her speech, she brought back the mind of the students in attendance to the debatable fact that the issues Nigeria is facing now isn’t only on the side of the government but also from the people.

I didn’t know much about it at first, but that didn’t stop me. I wo...
