Emeka Chiakwelu, Principal Policy Strategist at AFRIPOL ( Africa Political & Economic Strategic Center) has proposed a new Nigeria National Pledge to the ongoing National conference holding at the nation’s capital at Abuja. Nigeria at this juncture of her political-sociological evolution needs a more reflective and pragmatic National Pledge to aid in the nation building.
The Proposed – Nigeria National Pledge by Emeka Chiakwelu
I pledge my allegiance to Nigeria my country
To love Nigeria with all my heart in both good and bad times
Not to steal from Nigeria and siphon it abroad
To defend her dignity
And uphold her honour and welfare
One nation under God without division
So help me God
