00:27:01thanks for watching
00:27:20every day across forests, highways, towns and
00:27:23villages, brave men and women stand watch so that Nigeria can
00:27:27sleep, they leave their families behind, confront danger head
00:27:31on and make... prices many of us will never see,
00:27:35yet the enemies of our nation continue their assault, they target
00:27:39our children, they murder innocent citizens, they force families
00:27:43from their homes, they turn thriving communities into places
00:27:47of fear and uncertainty, their goal is simple,
00:27:50to break our spirit, divide our people and steal
00:27:54the future of our nation, but Nigeria is stronger than
00:27:58terror, as we demand greater accountability, stronger security.
00:28:02measures and more effective action from those entrusted with our safety, we
00:28:06must also play our part, support our security
00:28:10forces, salute their galantry, stand with those
00:28:13stand for us, if you see something, say
00:28:17something, let us be our brothers keeper, we must
00:28:21never surrender to fear, despair or hopelessness,
00:28:24this is not the time for division, not by tribe, not
00:28:28by religion, not by region, not by
00:28:32political party, because terror recognizes no
00:28:35ethnicity, no faith and no ideology. its
00:28:39enemy is all of us and together, united as one
00:28:43people, we can defeat it for our children, for our
00:28:47communities, for our future, for
00:28:50Nigeria, join the movement, stand for our
