Description[?]:
| My honorable colleagues, Nationalism is key to the success of any nation. We must first protect nationalism by protecting our national symbols. We can no longer let people desecrate our flag. That flag is the symbol of our great nation, and to desecrate it is disrespectful and outrageous. We must not tolerate this any longer. Secondly, we must instill National pride in our children. They must grow up proud of Ibutho. Our national anthem is a symbol of our great nation, and it should be sung as often as possible, so that all honorable people of Ibutho may rejoice and join in it's singing, and al of our enemies may hear the powerful voices of our nation. Ibutho should be held above all else, and I encourage you, my brothers, to help me protect it's honor by passing this into law. Rafa Biyombo NRB Leader |
