NIGERIA INDEPENDENCE: The Journey So Far!

As we celebrate our “glorious” past, most importantly, it is a time for stock-taking and sober reflections.

At independence, we inherited a nation built on unity
in diversity, peace, freedom and justice. Today, we live in a country that has seen, not only dehumanising oppression and impoverishment, but also total neglect, and where peace, unity and security have become a luxury.

Fifty five years on, Nigeria has developed too many cracks on her walls. We have completely lost that bound of brotherhood; that oneness, spirit of friendship and coexistence. Most painfully, we seem to have reached the peak of absolute loss of confidence in one another.

What is left, unfortunately too, is a superficial pretext, and
posturing we all harbour, believing that all is well. We are currently in a situation of no war, no peace, but no love. We sleep with our eyes wide open, where the otherwise quietness of the night is rudely intercepted by clattering sounds of AK-47s, automatic machine guns and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) openly flaunted by armed bandits, terrorist, kidnappers and gangsters.

As we celebrate Nigeria at 55, we appeal to all politicians, religious leaders, traditional leaders and all Nairalanders to rekindle their true love for posterity sake and shun tribalism.

May God bless Nigeria
Happy Independence
