Nigeria celebrated 64 years of independence on October 1, 2024, with notable celebrities such as Funke Akindele and Mr Eazi taking to social media to commemorate the occasion.

As Nigeria hit a new milestone age, netizens reacted in various ways, with the majority of them being nasty. However, Funke Akindele and Mr. Eazi used their positions to inspire citizens.

On her Instagram profile, the Nollywood actress posted a video of herself dressed in Nigeria’s colors, sending a special message to citizens. Funke Akindele agreed that saying the country would become great again had become cliche, but it needed to be reaffirmed because it is where she works, empowers others, and so on.

Not stopping there, the movie star stated that she would never leave Nigeria because the country would improve. In her words:

“I pray that this country will be great, yes! You say it’s cliche, we keep saying it will be great, oh yes it will be great because this is where I earn a living, this is where I’m called ‘gbogbo bigs girl’ this is where I make all the money to afford all the designer bag, designer cloth, this is where I make the money to empower a lot of people. I just finished filming Everybody Loves Jenifa with over 175 crew members here in Nigeria and Ghana but majority from my country Nigeria. Where did I make the money from? From Nigeria. For me, I will not japa, I will remain in Nigeria, Nigeria go better.”

In the caption of the video, Funke Akindele also wrote:

“Happy Independence Day to my beloved Nigeria! We’ve weathered storms, but our spirit remains unbroken. I celebrate our resilience, creativity & hope. Envisioning a Nigeria where dreams flourish, talents thrive & opportunities abound. Let’s believe in a brighter tomorrow! #NigeriaAt64”
