As Nigeria celebrates its 64th Independence anniversary, we reflect on the true meaning of freedom. Political freedom, though significant, is only the beginning.
Mental freedom, however, remains an elusive dream for many Nigerians.
We’re still enslaved by:
- Negative mindsets
- Self-doubt
- Fear of progress
- Ethnic and religious divisions
- Corruption
- Poverty mentality
But the truth remains: “As a man thinks, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7). Our thoughts shape our reality.
To achieve moral, emotional, psychological, financial, social, political, and economic freedom, we need a mental shift.
This requires:
- Systemic reforms
- Moral rejuvenation
- Social reorientation
- Personal responsibility
As Christians, we know our freedom is guaranteed in Christ Jesus (Galatians 5:1). However, faith without works is dead (James 2:26).
We must:
- Work out our salvation (Philippians 2:12)
- Embrace personal transformation
- Take collective action
The Change Starts with You!
Jesus died for the world’s freedom, but each individual must receive His gift of eternal life (John 3:16).
The change Nigeria needs begins with You, Me and Us!
As we mark this milestone, ask yourself:
What will I do differently to make Nigeria great?
Will I challenge negative mindsets?
Will I promote unity and understanding?

From all of us at CCC, Happy Independence Day!
