DJ Cuppy Declares Undying Love for Nigeria on 65th Independence Anniversary

Popular disc jockey and billionaire heiress, Florence Otedola, popularly known as DJ Cuppy, has reaffirmed her deep love for Nigeria as the nation marked its 65th Independence Anniversary.

Taking to her official X account on Wednesday, Cuppy shared an emotional tribute to her country of birth, describing Nigeria as her “birthplace, home, and country.”

She wrote:
“Through it all, our people keep persevering and finding joy even in the toughest times… God didn’t rush when He made us!!! He gave us resilience and spirit. In my next life, would STILL choose to be Nigerian.”

Her heartfelt message resonated with thousands of fans who echoed similar sentiments about the beauty, strength, and resilience of the Nigerian people despite the nation’s challenges.

Opinion:

In times when conversations about Nigeria are often clouded by frustration over governance, economic hardship, and insecurity, Cuppy’s words serve as a refreshing reminder of the unbreakable spirit of Nigerians. Her declaration that she would “still choose to be Nigerian” in another life is more than a patriotic statement — it’s a love letter to a country that continues to endure, dream, and inspire.

Nigeria’s 65 years have been filled with both triumphs and trials, yet the resilience of its people is undeniable. From music and sports to culture and innovation, Nigerians have consistently proven that their identity is a source of pride on the global stage. Cuppy’s message captures this essence — that beyond the headlines of hardship, there is joy, beauty, and a bond that cannot be erased.

Perhaps what Nigeria needs more than ever is this kind of optimism: the ability to look beyond the cracks and see the light shining through. Patriotism, after all, is not about ignoring problems, but about believing in the possibility of better days. And with voices like DJ Cuppy’s reminding us of who we are, Nigerians everywhere may find renewed courage to keep pushing forward.
