‘Together, We Will Rise’ —Tonto Dikeh Calls For Unity On Independence Day
Nollywood actress and humanitarian, Tonto Dikeh, while commemorating Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day, urged citizens to unite and work together for a brighter future.
The actress made the call via her Instagram page, noting the nation’s resilience and the enduring spirit of over 200 million Nigerians.
She called on Nigerians to contribute towards improving the country’s education, healthcare, infrastructure, and governance systems.
She wrote, “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,” she wrote.
She urged citizens to embrace a vision of a Nigeria that works for all, where every individual is valued, heard, and empowered.
Dikeh stressed that while hope is essential, action is needed to propel the nation forward.
“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,” she added.
