Nigeria got her independence at the time she could not even spell her name, I'm not suprised she is still struggling to spell her name at 49.

Nigeria is a wobbling giant resulting from an unholy matrimony between a northern gentleman an a southern lady of means. she has suffered greatly like any child given birth to in a  family where there is so much rancor and bitterness. This has affected her psych and  economic growth, though she has steadily increased in size, because she lack basic food nutrient she has remained an infant even at 49 years old. The truth is that we have very little to celebrate in Nigeria, she has been a neglected child all her life.  sad sad sad

A nation like Nigeria is a comedy at its best, I was petrified about the Happy Independence sms i got today 134 as of 11:45 am, and i wondered allowed "is the Great People, Great Nation Mantra beginning to work?", although i used to be a student unionist in my undergrad days . A distinction must be made about Nigeria(a nation with all it takes to b great, yet continues to waste its commonwealth and squander collective hope with reckless abandon) and Nigerians(as a resilient people and hardworking/determined humans who refuse to be cowed by global recesses or governments insensitivity, yet we remain the happiest by international evaluation-suffering and smilling as Fela opined)
On a reflective note, we are being recolonized by the cabal who have made this nation unworkable, driving us into poverty of ideas and economic deprivation; what happened to the egalitarian drms of Zik, the free education of Awo(note that even government secondary sch teachers in some Southwest states are on strike) and the brotherhood/leadership as personified by Sardauna,
Wither NiGeRiA at 49 ; the making of a failed Nation.

Happy Independence Day to Everyone

• Not because all’s well, but because we all share the pains of this great nation
[color=#006600][/color]• We all want the best for this Nation, even those that have given up.
• It is also true that, our individual dreams for success is aligned with our dreams for our family, our village, our tribe, our city, our state, and ultimately our country.
• This same dream is shared by all Nigerians – living in Nigerian and abroad.
• No Nigerian will stand for the denigration of this country by a foreigner. And that is the true testament of the love we all have for this Nation
• May God help us as we try to rid our country of unscrupulous leaders and miscreant.
• May the evils and darkness in humanity; genocide; ethnic cleansing; stay away from this great nation. For we have seen these misery and anguish in other nations.

- Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.


Psalm 23:4
Re: Happy Independence? by Fhemmmy: 1:31pm On Oct 01, 2009
i wonder what is there to be happy about.
A nation of 49 years old, that has gone from good to bad, worse to worst, nothing seems to be happening for
A nation that have so much potentials and has ressulted into getting bread from the smaller ones.
We call it total nonsense, we call it AGBAYA.

I'm glad you said you were waiting. If you still think your Biafra Republic is the solution, then you are getting the whole issue wrong, I'm sure if any Biafra Republic is being created, then it will be definately worse than Nigeria is.
You had better start thinking about a better way out.

Re: Happy Independence? by danexd(m): 1:57pm On Oct 01, 2009
Nigeria is 49***(accepted) But Independent, Nooooo! Nigeria is yet to gain Independence, trust me. a few people in the high echelon of power knows what am saying****our policies are greatly determined by some group in the west believe me! we are still greatly dependent on Britain to make our decision and that is why we need a leader who is stubborn with the people's interest at heart!

This also reminds me of how some student in my secondary school changed Sanny Ade's song

It goes thus

"Nigeria yi ti gbogbo wa ni
iro n la

Ko ma gbodo baje
Oti baje na

Tori ko si ibo miran ti a le lo
Ame n ko

Ajo ko le dabi ile
Eje ka lo na

Eje ki a so owo po ki a fi imo gbokan
Ika o dogba

Gbe kemi gbe
owo n ro wa
