I believe in community community carries
0:06
culture Community ensures that the
0:08
individual thrives anywhere Community
0:11
Fosters social participation but more
0:14
importantly Community self-regulates
0:16
when we see Nigerians all over the world
0:19
we catch sight of external lofty

exploits underlining an interior of
0:23
creative Ingenuity respect hard work
0:25
grit determination and enormous courage

however for some reason the negative
0:31
variant of these attributes seems to be
0:33
forever pinned on us and this in turn
0:35
impairs the perception of us that the
0:38
I know and believe that Nigerians are an
0:41
asset to wherever they are we are
0:43
respectful and we contribute to the
0:46
we say no to anyone painting us with a
0:48
broad brush based on the actions of a

0:53
occasion and self-regulate where
0:56
the task of building our country must
0:58
not be left to the government alone
1:00
every citizen and Community inside and
1:03
outside the Country Must help to ensure
1:05
that they do not contribute to the
1:06
negative stereotypes that have developed
1:10
this formed the Crux of my interaction
1:12
with the vast Nigerian community in
1:14
Canada yesterday as a part of my
1:16
three-day visit to the country
