I had the honor of addressing the esteemed members of the Yoruba Tennis Club in Onikan, Lagos State, on a topic of paramount importance: patriotism and citizenship. During my lecture, I highlighted the necessity for a rebirth of patriotism among our citizens, aligning with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s transformative vision for our nation.
Patriotism, at its core, involves a deep-seated love for our country, a commitment to its progress, and a willingness to contribute to the common good. It requires us to uphold the principles of integrity, responsibility, and service. Our nation’s growth hinges on our collective dedication to these ideals, and it is imperative that we foster a renewed spirit of patriotism within our communities.
Embracing patriotism will not only propel our nation forward but also unify us in our shared goals and aspirations. I commended the management of the Yoruba Tennis Club for their foresight in championing this cause. Their initiative to instill a spirit of patriotism is commendable, and I am fully committed to supporting this worthy endeavor.
– Hope Uzodimma
