As the Nigerian independence day approach, we need to really reflect about what we should be doing to mark that day.

As for me,

There is no Security
There is lack of political will
There is no efficient medical facility
There is dearth in the transport sector
Quality education is non-existent- Schools are now breeding grounds for murderers, Rapists, Corruption etc
Simple roads cannot be built and properly maintained
There is no efficient electricity supply
There is consistent rise of militant groups
There is rise in the rate of unnecessary deaths
There is an increase in ethnic bigotry
There is lack of respect for Nigerians that are home and abroad by the Nigerian government
There is lack of good drinking water in MOST parts of Nigeria
Millions of Nigerians are homeless and more are still being made homeless without compensation
There is a very high rate of unemployment in Nigeria

The list in endless.

Instead of celebrating, the Nigerian government officials should hide their heads in Shame and Nigerians should mourn their existence in Nigeria. It is indeed sad.
If you have a reason why you think Nigeria is worth celebrating, please don't hesitate to outline them. I am looking for a reason to consider celebrating Nigeria.

Yes you are right.but still let's be happy and glad for nigeria.there are many country out there who have been facing a greater challenge and disaster than our dear country nigeria.look at libya,niger.look at the rate of crime in south africa.tsunami , earthquake ,famine,wars.and flood to mention few in the country around us.so my dear let's be thankfull and greatfull to God.

It is because you dont have the right connections - If you know the right people all you listed wont be a worry.

hmmm sounds like sour grapes to me. i bet if you make a coupla million pounds you will change your tune. i can assure you that 99 percent of the nigerians abroad if given a ccoupla million pounds will be on the next thing smoking back to nigeria.

if anyone knows to himself that he has not contributed in any way to the progress of this nation must first mourn for himself! Nigerians are working, its easy to idle talk and criticize but many just sit and blab -no water, no light, no this no that and themselves are bunch of lazy, not-good-for-Nigeria lots
