🇳🇬 THE NIGERIAN CHILD
A Tribute on Children’s Day
Today, the Nigerian child celebrates Children’s Day.
And today, I hold on to hope, hope for a future where no child has to hawk on the streets just to put food on the table… Where the classroom isn’t a place of wandering and waiting, but of learning without fear of another strike or the absence of teachers.
Promises of brighter days have echoed for decades. Yet still, the Nigerian child walks on footpaths to school while politicians pave roads to their mansions. Still, schools stand roofless,
While luxury buildings rise in excess.
I dream of a Nigeria where no child cries in hunger,
Where empty stomachs don’t silence bright minds. Where learning happens in safe, equipped, and inspiring environments not under trees,
not in broken-down classrooms,
not with make-believe smiles masking the struggle.
I wish the Nigerian child abundance.
I wish the Nigerian child dignity.
I wish the Nigerian child a future worth dreaming of.
So dear Nigerian child, dream big.
Even if today’s reality seems like satire
Your dream is the beginning of a hopeful quest.
Happy Children’s Day 🎊🎊🎊🩷💙
