The question is, what are we celebrating?
For me, nothing tangible. No loot, no light(to even watch them on tv), no good feeling and somebody is saying happy independence when we still depend on oil.
Happy independence sha, a country at 53 and in this sorry state....i no know wetin to call am o!

I dont see the need for a celebration but if anyone brings independence cake to me, I will eat.


so, you all, how is it going at your end.

Happy mediocre day to nigeria...sumwhr in the country a cake is gettin cut

THE ONLY REASON OF CELEBRATING TODAY IS BECAUSE THIS MAY BE OUR LAST INDEPENDENCE-DAY-CELEBRATION AS NEGERIANS. THANKS GEJ FOR SELFLESSlY SETTING UP THE S.N.C COMMITTEE TODAY, DIALOGUE IS THE KEY.

No amount of celebration can bring back the lives lost with impunity this year nor cure our hatred for each other.

A Prayer For Naija.
Dear Father in Heaven, I pray for my country. You know, looking around there's not much to celebrate, to rejoice about, but I understand You don't want us to question Your infinite Wisdom when you placed us in Nigeria.
Father, I pray for Your wisdom, exactly what we need to move this country from the backwaters of backwardness. Forgive our people who want to eat the good of the land yet still curse the land, we want the best yet we wish the worst on ourselves. Lord, we are blind, open our eyes that we may see cursing our leaders doesn't solve the problem, killing our brothers and sisters, molesting our children and claiming tribal superiority is just evidence of our own wickedness. Yet we blame our leaders for the things we do. We have become very good at the latest and most popular game in Nigeria, the game called IT IS NOT MY FAULT.
Father, help us understand our leaders are very flawed human beings and not gods. Help us see that like us they make mistakes and mess things up. Help us understand that the solution doesn't come in looking for political heroes. But in looking up to you, in trusting you to work things out for our good.
Lord, it IS hard for me to wish my country a happy birthday. Because I haven't gotten much out of it. But I am going to do it all the same because I know that's what You want. You want me to believe the best about my nation even if I am seeing Her at Her worst. You want me to be like Jesus, to condemn less and love more.
Yes, so many things have failed and are failing in this country, but I am going to just trust that there is nothing impossible for You to fix. To do.
Father I thank You for how far we have come, I know it's only by Your grace that we are still together as a nation, despite our growing differences. Forgive those who work to divide and visit with judgement those who try to destabilize and destroy. Protect our women and children from monsters and animals on two feet and strengthen our men to work hard and honest for peace, for progress and prosperity. Help them fight the fight in smarter ways than butchery, looting and killing..
Lord, help us grow.
On behalf of my people,
Your son,
Coolestboy

HAPPY 53rd (IN)DEPENDENCE DAY…...


I got this from a friend, it's worth readind..

I have enormous tracts of land & vast volumes of water, but cannot feed myself. So I spend $1 billion to import rice & another $2billion on milk. I produce rice, but don‘t eat it. I have millions of cows but no milk. I am 53, please celebrate me.
I drive the best cars in the world but have no roads, so I crush my best brains in the caverns, craters & crevasses they crash into daily. I am in unending mourning, please celebrate me.
My school has no teacher & my classroom has no roof. I take lectures listening through windows withouth Mega phone& live with 15 others in 1 room. All our Rich parents children & professors have gone abroad, & the rest are awaiting visas. I am a university/polytechnic graduate, but I am illiterate. I want a future, please celebrate me.
Preventable diseases send me to hospitals without doctors, drugs or power supply. All the nurses have gone abroad and the rest are waiting to go also. I have the highest maternal & infant mortality rate in the world; & future generations are dying before me. I am hopeless, hapless & helpless, please celebrate me.
For democracy‘s sake I stood all day on Election Day. But before I could ink my thumb, results had been broadcast. When I dared to speak out, silence was enthroned by bullets. My leaders are my oppressors, & my policemen are my terror. I am ruled by men inmufti, but I am not a democracy. I have no verve, no vote, no voice, please celebrate me.
Pen-wielding bandits have raided everything in my vaults. Pen are liable and guaranteed to steal more than Arm robbers (politicians ) They walk the land with haughty strides & fly the skies in private planes. They have looted the future of generations unborn; & have money they cannot spend in several lifetimes, but their brothers die of starvation. I want a kit of kindness, please celebrate me.
I can produce anything, but I import everything. So my toothpick is made in China; my toothpaste is made in South Africa; my saltis made in Ghana; my butter is made in Ireland; my milk is made in Holland; my shoe is made in Italy; my vegetable oil is made in Malaysia*** my biscuit is made in Indonesia; my chocolate is made in Turkey & my table water made in France. My taste is far-flung & foreign, please celebrate me.
I have genuine leather but choose to eat it. SoI spend billions of dollars to import fake leather. I have four refineries, but prefer to import fuel, so I waste more billions to importpetrol. I have no security in my country, but send troops to keep peace in another man‘s land yet bokoharam killed more than Millions In my dear country. I have hundreds of dams, but no water. So I drink ‘pure‘ water that roils my innards. I need a vision, please celebrate me.
I have a million candidates craving to enter universities, but my dungeons can only accommodate a tenth. I have no electric power, but choose to flare gas, so my people have learnt to see in the dark and stare at the glare of naked flares. I am shrouded by darkness, yet still aim to privatise Nepa please celebrate me.
For my golden jubilee, I shall spend 16 billion naira to bash around the bonfires of the banal. So what if the majority gaze at my possessed, frenzied dance; drenched in silent tears, as probity is enslaved in democracy‘s empty cellars? I am profligacy personified, please celebrate me.
Why can I not simply reflect and ponder? Does my complexion cloud the colour of my character? Does my location limit the lengths of my liberty? Does the spirit of my conviction shackle my soul? Does my mien maim the mine of my mind? And is failure worth celebrating?
I AM NIGERIA , PLEASE CELEBRATE ME @53rd

#Nigeria@53

**dust my bed, lay my bedspread, tuck under my blanket**
reactivate sleep mode!

Happy independence everyone.


and lest I forget...does anyone know what is INDEPENDENCE?

It is time we stop living in dream. Independent is illusion and modern day exploitation. Nigeria is not celebrating any independent day.

HAPPY NEOCOLONIZATION DAY

If no be say my papa birthday na today....

If i hear!!! .....hapi indepedence ko, senseless anniversary ni!
