This memorable day in 1960, after a long struggle and bondage;the British empire,under the monarch of Queen Elizabeth II of England,declared Nigeria as an independent nation. Though,I agree that we are not totally free from the influence of the west,particularly Britain and U.S and which is why we Africans need to get together and be our brothers' keepers. Unless,the lions stand up to tell their own tale, history will always favour the hunter. People of Nigeria! I implore you to agree with me that life is a coin of two sides; the good and bad side. It is normal, if we lament and mention our setbacks in terms of security,employment,leadership,sociocultural value,infrastructural development amongst other factors;but also important for us to bear in mind that, we owe our beloved country individual and collective responsibility of building a nation where peace and justice shall reign. Arise O compatriots! Nigerians are good people and Nigeria is a great nation. If only we can use what is right with Nigeria to correct what is wrong with Nigeria. The Nigerian youth is what is right with Nigeria. I believe! Let us change the mindset of your youth to let them realize Nigeria is the greatest country and in them her future lies. Today, I urge fellow compatriots to keep the Nigerian dream and hope alive as we reminisce on the events that have unfolded since independent Nigeria was born. Though our freedom,peace and unity have faced a lot of threat in the past and in the recent times, yet we are still together today as Nigeria! My fellow countrymen, as we celebrate our great nation today, I urge us all to keep our faith in the unity of Nigeria and continue to live in peace,so as not to let the labour of our past heroes be in vain. Let us believe in Nigeria with our hearts and might. May God direct our noble cause, guide our leaders right and help our youth the truth to know. On behalf of my fellow countrymen,I want say thank you to all who believe in Nigeria and Nigerians. My goodwill message goes out to all Nigerians,friends of Nigerians and Nigeria across the globe. Happy independence Nigeria! Long live Nigeria! 1 Like |

NIGERIA: 53 YEARS OF BLASTED HOPE AND DEFERRED DREAMS. Fifty three years back, she was granted hegemony by the British colonialists. That, in a sense, portrayed signified emancipation. Here we are, half a century later; we yet grope in slavery, call it neo-slavery. We aren’t free or independent still. Better put, to say we’ve got simply a substitution of colonialism with neo-colonialism and nepotism. As a nation, we are still in search of which way to go. Just as late Sony Okosun, a renowned gospel artiste alluded ‘which way Nigeria…’? We have simply become slaves and exiles in our fatherland, and the gospel truth subsists on the fact that the slave masters of today are our very own – plunging us into these socio-political and economic conditions through protracted years of neglect, injustice and of disregard for what is right for the common good. The gamut of our economy is in shambles; electricity is deficit, education is in comatose, if not paralyzed, healthcare system is a far cry, transportation sector almost a cul-de-sac, minimum wage has suddenly become a mirage on the lips of many civil servants, thousands of jobless youths are roaming the streets, this chain reaction of nothing works in the Nigerian system is borne out of the lack of transparency and accountable representative Govt. It is amazing that those selected few managing the affairs of this country seem to have ignored and jettisoned the ‘time bomb’ waiting to explode. Over the last seven years, companies in their thousands have been shutdown and at least three hundred thousand Nigerians kept out of jobs, yet, rather than address or redress this plaque, President Goodluck Jonathan, on his assumption of power, decided to subject the people to further pains, agonies and untold hardship by increasing electricity tariffs by over 200 percent in the guise of revamping the power sector. It is no gainsaying that, rather than his administration to face critical problems, finding a lasting solution to the plights of the common man, it kept flooding the nooks and cranny with cheap propaganda and fake empty promises of better days ahead in the up-coming years. The Nigerian situation is quite appalling, melancholic and hopeless; there appears to be no light at the end of the tunnel with the govt of the day running against time in potholes. The future is very bleak for Nigeria’s vision 20:20:20 as a result of the ‘blows’ suffered from left-right-and-centre. The spate of bomb blasts in the country is one that is worrisome and unhealthy for the nation. I fear for this country called "Nigeria" if working measures are not put place to savage these highlighted problems. |

Nigeria is not a nation. It is a mere geographical expression. The word Nigerian is a mere distinctive appellation to distinguish those who live within the boundaries of Nigeria from those who do not" - Obafemi awolowo “The new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great grandfather Uthman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We use the minorities in the North as willing tools and the South as a conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us and never allow them to have control over their future”. Sir Ahmadu Bello, Parrot Newspaper, Oct 12, 1960 "I'm set and fully armed, to conquer the Action Group, AG, in the same ruthless manner as my grandfather conquered Alkalawa, a town in Sokoto province, during the last century" Sir Ahmadu Bello gave an interview to the DAILY TIMES of May 3, 1961 "Since 1914, the British Government has been trying to make Nigeria into one country, but the Nigerian people themselves are historically different in their backgrounds, in their religious beliefs and customs and do not show themselves any signs of willingness to unite … Nigerian unity is only a British invention" - Alhaji Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa who was reported by the TIME MAGAZINE of October 10, 1960 to have said there was no basis for Nigeria Words started going round about that the Igbo officers were saying: they had killed the snake, but had failed to cut off the head. Which meant those of us left might make them suffer later, that there was therefore the need to finish us off...so we decided the best thing to do was to open fire there even if Governor Fajuyi was also cut, so that they would be buried together, and that was what happened" Useni (why we killed Ironsi from sahara reporters) All is fair in war, and starvation is one of the weapons of war. I dont see why we should feed our enemies fat in order for them to fight harder" Obafemi Awolowo (finance minister) With these hate filled comments, should we celebrate today? |
