Ogun Government Cancels All Independence Day Celebrations by References1: 2:49pm On Sep 26, 2023
Press Statement

Following the directive of the Federal Government that this year's Independence Day Celebration should be low-key, the Ogun State Government has cancelled all arrangements in respect of the anniversary on October 1st, 2023.

The decision by the Federal Government is to reflect the mood of the nation. The state government enjoins citizens of the state to spend the time solemnly praying for the country.

It is the strong belief of the government under the leadership of Governor Dapo Abiodun that the supplications of the people at this crucial time will be answered by God.

We seek the understanding and cooperation of all and sundry as we observe a low-key independence anniversary this year, believing that better times lie ahead of us as a people.

Thank you all.

Signed:

Tokunbo Talabi
Secretary to the State Government
Ogun State.

That independence thing was a major f(u)ck up i swear. We should have allowed the whites keep ruling.
See with all the first class, Ph. D and Masters people that have been ruling us, look at where they have brought us. To despair and doom.

The black man is incapable of achieving anything as a collective. And Nigeria is a prime example of that.

In all honesty, I will be surprised if they celebrate it. Nothing to celebrate about. Is it about fuel hike or the naira rise? Nigeria has bright youths but very docile, which is as a result of what Colio called "educated fool". With our knowledge and "exposure" we allow religion and tribalism to allow a few uneducated to take us for a ride because of our clannish mindset. Is well!

So low key celebration for the gargantuan number of ministers and aides. The Government should keep fooling Nigerians to make sacrifices while keeping large number of unproductive personal assistants and ministers.
