They might be young but their words also count. After all, they are the future of Nigeria. Here they come…………… Eve , Esther, Lizzy  , Heritage, Ela, Olive and Happy.  Ok........shhssssshh let’s hear the future generation speak. Eve an 8 year old, who is into beads making and a grade 5 student of a school in Ibadan says she is proud to be a Nigerian. This is what she has to say about Nigeria at 53; “I believe Nigeria is a good country”. Do you sometimes feel like leaving this good country?

Lizzy a student at the University of Ife says, “at the moment I’m proud to be a Nigerian and truly do not feel like leaving the country yet”. By "at the moment" you mean... I haven't been out of the country yet. When I eventually do, I just might not be proud to be a Nigerian anymo
