who's the young man after Miss Nigeria? he's cute for ages

All these celebrations... I'm sorry, I've been celebrating Independence Day for nearly 40 years now... and I'm not sure if we should be celebrating anymore. Perhaps we should call it "Mourning Day" to signify the loss of good governance from Oct 1960. Every year, we cynically paint our pothole-ridden roadways with white and black/green, force hungry students to buy or bleach white socks that they can't afford, and hold parades where everything on display is made abroad: from jets to uniforms; from chairs to even the damn red carpet.

Everyone is supposed to cheerfully pledge allegiance to a country that doesn't give two shits about whether we live or die; whether we have food or not; whether we're being killed by herdsmen, terrorists, police, or armed robbers; whether our child might die from an easily curable disease.

We're supposed to cheer for a country where its elite absolve themselves of responsibility to, or even basic love for their society. Some of them even go abroad to abuse us, while spending our commonwealth residing abroad for "medical reasons."

I'm tired of celebrating mediocrity, stagnation, and retrogression in a country where basic infrastructural needs are still a challenge. I've done that for nearly 40 years and so for the first time in my life, I find no joy in October 1. Let this day be over so we can get back to our regularly scheduled power cuts, no water, mosquitoes, no pay, inflation, police intimidation, and so on.

Next year we'll do exactly the same things, and make no progress. "Unity, Peace, and Progress". Indeed.
