You are a fool. There is nothing to celebrate. Nigeria is not progressing and you want to celebrate. Only a fool would support such a senseless celebration. Nigerians have every right to complain while you want to celebrate nonsense. People like you make me really sick. You want people to be happy for misery. God I cannot understand some delusional Nigerians who celebrate dystopia.

And the only people who will be celebrating will be Nigerians living in the Diaspora since many have the good life and can afford to celebrate and Nigerians who are part of those circles that like to chop chop chop.

We are not talking about other countries, we are talking about Nigeria.

gawd! I wish I could give you a cyber slap to correct your insanity.
Isn't it a record if it eventually come to pass? What record have you made ever since you began the fruitless journey of your miserable life?
Nigeria is about to make a record in the world and here you are complaining about those conditions you never thought of solving. People like you will soon ask the government to brush their teeth every morning.

Will that be used to feed the hungry in Nigeria?

What a waste of money though. It shows that African politicians do not know what to do with money. Build some houses for the poor, feed the poor, invest in infrastructure etc. That would be a nice present for Nigeria.

The organiser of the World’s largest cake project, Victor Oluwafemi, says he has tagged the project, ‘one meal one nation’, in line with the philosophy behind the project.

“The project is a [size=14pt]private endeavour[/size] which myself and my team thought of. We wanted to do something significant for the 50th anniversary project. We wanted something that would give every Nigerian an opportunity to partake in the celebrations. We knew that the average Nigerian would not have the opportunity to eat the cake that will be presented in the villa,” Mr. Oluwafemi said to NEXT in Abuja.

Faith in Nigeria (FiN), a not-for-profit organisation has stressed the need for Nigerians to have faith in the country, as that is necessary for socio-economic development.

The group’s Co-ordinator, Oluwafemi Victor Wash, made this clarion call at a press briefing at the International Press Centre (IPC), Ogba, Lagos.

According to Wash, the association is determined to: "encourage Nigerians to reaffirm the importance of our independence and the pursuit of our common vision towards a better Nigeria", adding: "We need to give Nigeria reason to celebrate when it’s 50 next year."

He lamented the level of apathy in the land and what he considers as negative statements and condemnation of the country by its citizens. "The Nigeria Project has failed because people do not have an abiding faith in the country," he bemoaned.

To celebrate Nigeria’s golden jubilee next year "in an uncommon way," a National Unity Cake (One Meal One Nation) that will emerge as the world’s largest cake (about 120,000Kg) would be baked and is expected to be cut inside the National Stadium, Abuja, by an estimated 60,000 Nigerians drawn from its ethnic nation
