got this from a friend and decided to share.. NIGERIA @ 99, CELEBRATING HER 53RD INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY WITH 14TH UNINTERRUPTED DEMOCRACY? ITS A CALL FOR GREAT CELEBRATION. WAIT A MINUTE HOW BEST TO CELEBRATE WITH MY PEOPLE IN D SOUTH WHO ARE STILL LIVING IN D GREAT FEAR OF KIDNAPPING, ROBBERY, POLITICAL TURMOIL, HELPLESS UNEMPLOYED YOUTH ETC. OR HOW BEST TO CELEBRATE DIS WITH MY NOTHERN COUNTERPARTS? WHEN THEY LIVE EACH MINUTES OF THEIR LIFE LIKE ITS GOING TO BE THEIR LAST. THEY SNEEZE IN &OUT THE GUN POWDER EVERYDAY. THEY LIVE IN D MIDDLE OF TWO GREAT ENEMIES, ONE CALL D BOKO HARAM & D OTHER NIGERIA MILLITARY. THEY CANT CALL TO D MILLITARY FOR HELP & THEY DARE NOT CLOSE TO BOKO HARAM YET THEY BOTH CLAIMED TO BE FIGHTING FOR THEM. IF U ARE TOO POOR & AV NOWHERE TO LAY UR HEAD U ARE VULNERABLE because D ARMY WILL KILL U FOR MORE RANK & DEN LABEL UR CORPSE A BOKO HARAM. WE CALLED TO MR PRESIDENT WEN WILL DIS POSSIBLY COMES TO AN END. HE REPLIES HE DONT KNW WEN, BUT AS USUAL THEY ARE ON TOP OF IT WHILE D BOKOHARAM ARE BENEATH GROUNDING D WHOLE SYSTEM UNDER MR PRESIDENT NOSE. CELEBRATION! CELEBRATION!! I SHOUTED, ROLLING MY DRUMS OUT THANKING GOD THAT ATLEAST HE KEPT US. IN WHITE AGBADA OUR GOVENMENT OFFICIALS TROOPS OUT, BUT FROM ALL AROUND US ARE D CRY OF D WIDOWS, D OPHANS, THE HAVE-NOTS, DE DESTITUTES, UNEMPLYED YOUTHS, ETC WHO CLOTHED THEMSELVES IN BLACK ATTIRES. INSTANTLY I REALIZED ITS INDEED THERE ARE SO MUCH TO CELEBRATE BUT FEW PEOPLE HAVE REASONS TO CELEBRATE. THESE STINKING LEADERS CLOTHED THEMSELVES IN WHITE ATTIRES LIKE THEY APPEARED YESTERDAY IN CHURCH DISGUISE TO BE CLEAN AV SO MUCH TO CELEBRATE AT D EXPENSE OF U & I. THEY CELEBRATE THEIR LOOTHS,CORRUPTION GROWTH @D EXPENSE OF ECONOMY GROWTH,ENOUGH BLOOD FOR THEIR SUCKING VAMPIRE WHO NEVER SAY ENOUGH, RISE IN POVERTY LEVELE because OF THEIR GREEDINESS,THEIR CHILDREN SCHOOLING ABROAD @D EXPENSE OF D CROPS OF STUDENTS SITTING AT HOME WITH LITTLE HOPE OF GOING BACK SOON,ETC.YET THEY SAY WE ARE FOR D PEOPLE.GOD WILL TAKE CHARGE &VERY SOON MAYBE VERY SOON D NEW NIGERIA WILL EMERGED.SORRY INDEPENDENCE. 1 Like |

A WORD TO A SLEEPING GIANT Giant! Potential giant of my time The tropics is your home Yet you trouble your own Leaving them to smile through hopelessness While you abound in beauty and splendor O latent giant of the tropics Where do we go from here? Giant! Glorified giant of Africa You thrive like a midget Dancing a ballet You make your home unbearable for her own Chasing rat when your house is on fire Your wards scatter all over the world O! Latent giant of our time. Giant! Potential giant of my time You make us go haywire At your hostile nature we cringe At the ALUU four I frown That armless species are endangered Latent giant of the tropics Rise up from this oppression! Giant! Crawling giant of the tropics I cry, That the bodies of the innocent litter the streets Although not like in Sudan or Middle East But explosion rock in the crowd of many Now I hear that familiar sound in a Mall in Kenya Who shall save this latent giant of the tropics? Giant! Struggling giant of my time You strive every now and then But with muscle power is taken after a tussle Yet they bamboozle and embezzle When we have no morsel to swallow Latent giant of the tropics Arise and arrest imposters in power! Giant! As you celebrate at this time Your five decades and three In abundance you fare like sucking When shall you grow up? Shall you forever remain a baby? O! Latent giant of the tropics. Why mop when they mess up the labour of our past heroes? Giant! Potential giant of my time Why should BH insurgency counter your stride? Shall we continue to live in a country? Where ASUU is not a footballer yet she strikes more than Messi Where a political party is one but doubles in the face of crisis Where we have black gold yet poor and deprived Where our flag portrays fertility yet we know Mr. Hunger Potential giant of the tropics I shall continue to see hope in your hopelessness I see a future in your marginalized youths In your desolate streets, Shall we continue to hope and pray Even as I search like Diogenes the critic I have no doubt you will rise tomorrow from the dust of today! |

Mamiya: Please feel free to like and share these images. In the course of this project I got a lot of complaints from workers about the hard economy. I will neither like nor share the pics for ignoring hapless Nigerian University students in your photo propaganda. All I see in that picture collection of yours are 'SUFFERING AND SMILING NIGERIANS' |

No matter the state of our , we should thank God. Take a look at Somalia, Egypt, Mali. Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan e.tc, you will glorify God for our beloved Nation, Nigeria |

I honestly agree with the fact that it's hard to celebrate our nation especially when things are so wrong . I was never commissioned to do this project by any individual or organization and I can tell you that people had sad stories to say about the state of our nation. I set out to also put smiles on the faces of people to let them know that there is still hope despite the obvious odds. One elderly market woman even showed me a picture of her grandson (who is also fatherless) who is yet to gain admission . She sells pepper and from what she told me she's spent a lot already. I want to use this medium to voice out the pain and struggle people face in Nigeria in a bid to reach those willing to make a change. I am very positive about our nation and I believe in making a change by starting with me....one step at a time. It will be difficult posting all 53 pictures but you can always reach me though. I am a photographer and can be reached personally on www.facebook.com/potterclayphotography kindly drop me a message. Thanks.
