The 55year old story of A Nation.
√√ the police would only come, after the thieves were gone, arm robbers would write a robbery threat to a street and still rob each an every house on it, even after the streets outcry to the police on getting the letter. hence, masons got to work, welders hit metals on metal and bullet proof doors, sky high fences with razor sharp barb wires rose to our defence... #Independent security....etc
√√ Our Community Primary School's teachers, needed the pupils more in their farms than class, Our Secondary Teacher prefered chatting and selling in the staff room as compared to discussing with us in class, our lecturer prefered selling handouts, and handing out "meet me in my office" to the gorgeous ladies than lecturing, Peivate schools came up.. #Independent Knowledge

√√Before Now, Nigeria couldnt give us light, so we improvised, Generators, solar panels etc. We did it our way, #independent power
√√Our water board rotted and wilted, irreperable away, hence we dugged up, our backyards, and then water tanks sprang up everhwhere #Independent springs
√√Our General hospitals, and public health centres deteriorated and turned to deathtrap, hencd, private specialist hospitals and health clinics sprang up, we cured ourselves #Independent health.

But then, but then, While Nigerians sourced for independent solutions at seemingly impossible situations, our leaders continued to be very very #dependent on outside forces,
hence;
√√ Nigeria's victory over boko haram is totally Dependent on whether the U.S of A, would sell weapons.
√√ The value of the naira is totally dependent on how much crude oil, per barrel is sold, and whether or not china agrees to buy our oil.
√√The most populous Black Nations Economy is totally #dependent on whether one company in America delist's it from its indexing. (JP morgan)
√√Our fight against Malaria and Aids is totally #dependent on foreing Aids.
√√ After, 4years we queue up to vote, but the reality remains, that thw Presidency is determined by which candidate did better at CNN's interview, at Chatham house and whomever 'the world powers that be' decide to back(financially and otherwise) .....
√√after eating, Ngozi had to either use a broom stick, or wait for kiosk seller, to wait for the wholesaler, to wait for the container, that is waiting for the toothpic company in China to supply the toothpick...
The list goes on and on..

√√ So therefore, One is forced to ask's,, "in what way exactly are we independent," "what were are leaders doing over the years, so that 50+ years now, and we stil cant, #independently protect ourselves without Uncle.Sam's help, ww cant feed ourselves, so we keep sucking from mommy earth, we cant educate ourselves hence we go to neighbors compound for dictation...

√√Its about that Time, The military had an #independent Arms/weapon making arm. Our Politicians began treating themselves here #independent of having to travel abroad.
√√Yes, its high time we stop making our policies on chatham tv, BBC, CNN etc.
Its high time we Really Really Really stoped playing this #flag_independence game, wherein our sovereignty only lies in us flying the green and white flag, while our, Politics, Economy, Security, Education, etc are totally #dependent on foreign factors.

Lets not only have the #flag_independence lets control our Economy, our Politics and our morals ourselves. #just_saying #making_common_sense
