"It is a dull moment, and that’s understandable, looking at the situation and condition of the country. Things are not funny for the common, and the President acknowledges that.
"Some Nigerians think there is nothing to celebrate in this hard condition, which is to some extent reasonable, but Nigeria is still our beloved country regardless, and we should be more optimistic than pessimistic."
