How would you react if we said we had 55 scars all over our body? Scars in places you can see and you can’t see. OK! we don’t have 55 scars but we know somebody who has even more. Her name is Nigeria and we love her. For 55 years, Nigeria has gone through turmoil, dictatorship, and so on, but we have always found a way to rise and shine. No matter how bad conditions are, we have always found a way to shrug and say “nothing dey happen.”

For 55 years, Nigeria has seen a lot, but amidst all these, we have experienced plenty moments that made us very proud to be Nigerians. Remember when Wole Soyinka won the Nobel Prize?

Remember when Brazil was beating us in the 1996 Olympics and Kanu scored 2 goals to send us to the final? Remember when Nigeria kicked out Ebola without any international assistance? Remember …no watch this video below and see 55 of the most beautiful moments in the history of Nigeria … 55 Reasons to believe it can only get better; #55ReasonsToHope.
