Ebenezer! Indeed this is how far the Lord has brought us as a country that was once in captiv ity and suffering(slavery). Well I may not have existed by then but for all that I’ve lived to know this far, I wouldn’t doubt how great and graceful the Lord has been to us. Just as Canadian hip-hop songwriter and rapper Drake would say, “started from the bottom and now we’re here”. Indeed we did start from the bottom but as far as we’ve come what are the key achievements we as country can boast of when compared to other countries that were once like us?
