A similar Act recorded tremendous successes in Morocco, Tunisia and India, the senior aide added.

“He is committed to leaving by the time the administration comes to an end on May 29, 2023”, he noted.
Gambari, a former Foreign Affairs Minister, served as Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations.

This Information rather has not done too well in the minds of the Nigerian Youths, as
The Statement made by Proof Gambari that Youths in Nigeria are lucky to be Nigerians has only made youths Angry.
Interview done in Wuse,Abuja Nigeria and Gwarimpa, Abuja Nigeria, early work hours on Monday 7 November 2023, did not agree with the statement,
Adams Abu from Wuse, said that Nigeria in recent times has been extremely exhausting and there is nothing Lucky about such experience., Sadly he said he wish he wasn’t a Nigeria.
Abosede Olumide from Gwarimpa Nigeria pointed her discussion to fuel suffering and scarcity said there’s nothing Lucky about having raw materials and still be suffering for Products from it, in the midst of this she said she’s glad that light is becoming better and she hopes there won’t be any grid collapse.
Are Nigerians then truly Lucky? Or this is just a statement.
