Independence: Why Nigeria Should Remain As One - Atiku by Nobody: 12:25pm On Oct 01, 2017 |
Former vice president Atiku Abubakar has released a statement to celebrate Nigeria's 57th Independence. Atiku believes that despite the Numerous challenges being faced by the country, Nigeria still has cause to celebrate. He wrote; "On this October 1st, 2017, I congratulate President Muhammadu Buhari and all Nigerians on the occasion of Nigeria's 57th Independence anniversary. There are those that may say we have very little to celebrate and I will respectfully disagree with them. In 57 years, Nigeria has faced many challenges, but we have overcome many of those challenges and made progress in multiple spheres of human endeavour. On October 1st, 1960 when we gained independence, there were many nations in existence alongside Nigeria in the committee of nations. A number of those nations have ceased to exist as a single entity, but 57 years after the fact, we are still one and waxing stronger. That is a cause to celebrate. In 1960, South Africa and Egypt had a larger economy than Nigeria, yet today our economy is the largest in Africa. That is a cause to celebrate. And finally, average life expectancy in Nigeria in 1960 was just 37.18 years but today, the average Nigerian has a life expectancy of 53.1 years. A lot of work still has to be done to overcome the many challenges we still face as a nation including terrorism, the national question, sluggish economic growth, youth unemployment and a huge out of school population amongst our youth. However, these challenges are not insurmountable. Thankfully, the prevailing sentiment is that we as Nigerians would rather remain together even as we make positive efforts to build a more perfect union along the lines of the vision of our founding fathers. We may not be where we ought to be as a nation, yet, we must be thankful that we are not where we used to be." http://politicsngr.com/2017/10/01/independence-nigeria-remain-one-atiku/ 1 Like 1 Share

someone pls tell this old vampire to shut his dirty mouth up. unity is not by force na. imagine @58 nigeria have nothing to show for it. why not take a survey, ask nigerians if they are happy being a nigerian and ask their opinion on this false marriage, no they won't do that they'll rather be forcing their opinion on over 200 million people just to keep the inflow of their wealth at the expense of millions. just imagine his reasons for continuity useless entity of a thing, you need not be told this country won't work, even when given one more century to test run it, it will still not work. the people knows better now, let's go our separate ways peacefully. Let's save the future generation the headache. It is better late than never 5 Likes |

To all de IPOB Terrorists and their likes who want to break up Nigeria, now listen! Nigeria will remain one solid indissoluble entity, nobody will be allowed to secede, if you feel marginalised, then get your political acts right and join the mainstream of Nigerian politics. Your only viable options are to either exit the country for good and go elsewhere or exit the world by suicide or whatever means fancied by you. You will remain Nigerians as long as you remain here. You have no other choice. 1 Like 1 Share |

Why deceive ourselves? What's there to celebrate? Comatose power sector? Dilapidated infrastructure? Quota system? Remaining one nation is not an achievement. It doesn't put food on the table. We need to start demanding more from our leaders. |
