He also has this message for you.

No matter what tribe or religion we represent, we are all Nigerians. Even as we celebrate our independence today lets strive for Peace, Love and Unity in our country. We are ONE. God Bless Nigeria.

Show love to another tribe that is not yours today in honour of our independence day celebration. Take a selfie or picture with someone from another tribe or something that represents another tribe. Post on instagram. Tag me @emmanuelikubese, and use the hashtag #ONENIGERIA ...The coolest and the most creative picture gets something special.
