Share your experience of Nigeria's 51st Independent anniversary here from the various State. I was in Abuja and the City was a Shadow of itself devoid of the usual funfair and pageantry that usually characterized the occasion.I see it as a Black Saturday as if it was a day of national mourning. I pity those children who always look forward to the celebration especially those usually involved in calisthenic display and other performances during such occasions for their dashed hope. It was as if everybody went to sleep on that day.I wept for Nigeria. The Eagle Square was the most deserted. So share your experience here. Pls attach pictures if there is any

Boring

after countless mails and various unanswered calls to the Nigerian embassy in the Scandinavian country where i reside to asked if the embassy is planning an event to mark the occasion, i decided to sit at home and get drunk and i slept the whole day
i think Nigeria will soon cease to exist!!!

It rained all night and all morning in Lekki so no movement (and no light). Cooked, ate, slept, washed, read and slept some more.

Yup! There was no light (electricity) until Sunday Night. However, I was ashamed that the states had bigger celebrations than the Federal Government. Some of the parades I saw at State level in the news were not bad at all. I think I was particularly impressed by the one held in Akwa Ibom State.

Personally, I slept, worked, worked and cooked.

Here in IB City, it was dry like no man's business
I ate, slept & joined my church to pray 4 Nig in d evening
No NEPA 2!

There was no power supply but I put on my gen set, watched movies,slept a little and nairalanded a lot.

independence day? There was uninterrupted power supply. Watched tv, plus wrote many lines of code.

Honestly expected boko fireworks but there was no explosions! Boko is loosing.

'children children, how old is independence today?'

i slept,cried,slept,cried,slept,cried and slept again for my dear beloved country.
