”Happy 64th Anniversary, Nigeria!

Today, we celebrate more than just a nation; we celebrate the resilient spirit of over 200 million people whose strength, creativity, and hope have continued to define our journey. At 64, we stand as a proud nation, rooted in diversity, with a future that holds the promise of greatness—if we, together, continue to build it.

As we look forward, we do so with **renewed hope**, embracing the vision of a Nigeria that works for all—a nation where every citizen feels seen, heard, and empowered. A future of peace, where the unity that has always been our strength shines brighter than ever, transcending our differences and bridging the gaps that have for too long divided us.

But hope alone is not enough. It is the **joint effort** of every Nigerian—north, south, east, and west—that will make our nation rise to its full potential. From the corridors of power to the streets, farms, and marketplaces, it is our collective determination, hard work, and shared values that will make Nigeria great again. Together, we can rewrite the narrative, elevating our education, healthcare, infrastructure, and governance to world-class standards.

The challenges are many, but they are not insurmountable. With **peace** as our foundation and justice as our guide, we can forge ahead, strengthening our democracy and ensuring that prosperity is not just for a few, but for all. As we celebrate today, let us recommit ourselves to building a Nigeria that future generations will inherit with pride.

Happy Independence Day, Nigeria. The future is bright, and together, we will rise.

HER EXCELLENCY,

AMBASSADOR KING TONTO DIKEH”

Transfer: Victor Osimhen Finally Reveals His Worth On The Transfer Market

Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen has revealed his worth on the transfer market.
According to him, he is worth over  €100 million.
Osimhen, speaking with TuttoSport, insisted he is one of the best footballers in the world currently.
The 25-year-old was key to Napoli’s Scudetto triumph two seasons ago, scoring 26 goals in Serie A.
It saw Osimhen also become the first African player to become the Capocannoniere.
However, last season, it was clear that Osimhen was going to part ways with Napoli. He was linked to PSG, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Al Ahli, but the deal failed to materialize.
Eventually, he signed for Turkish giants Galatasaray on a season-long deal, after he was frozen out of Napoli’s squad for the season.
In his four games at the club, Osimhen has registered two goals and four assists.
And in a recent interview, Osimhen said: “I am worth more than 100 million euros. There are few players like me in the world who have achieved the same results and success as me.
 
“Everything is linked to my characteristics, the things I do on the pitch and my quality. I think I deserve a high valuation.
 
“I am aware of the contribution I can give to a team. Do people think differently? Some say 15 million euros, others say 100-120-150. Everyone has different opinions.”
