I share this historic day with Nigeria. A day she was freed from her colonial shackles. I don't think it's a coincidence having to share this day with Nigeria, if I am to reminisce on my life hitherto. Just like Nelson Mandela said, " I wasn't born with a hunger to be free, I was born free." I was thinking my birthday party would best be rocked at either FiveStar or Sheraton, then I thought about kids on the streets who struggle to hold a spoon for the day. I thought about those who race inside traffics on highways just to set a table in the evenings. I thought about those who are behind bars because they don't have SANs and Activists to fight for their cause. What about the brilliant lad who has stopped school because of 5k school fees? The septuagenarian women who use blood and grey hairs to roast corns by the roadsides nko? I can't have a birthday party full of fun and sleep with my head in ease in the night when these people still exist. I don't have such heart. Show me some love today by giving to the poor around you. Celebrate this day of freedom with me and Nigeria by preaching UNITY. Change minds of those who believe ONE NIGERIA cannot work. Give to the struggling a flash of hope. Stand up for the freedom of both the oppressed and the oppressor! You might not have a gift of dollars or nairas to dash the poor kids with the Nigerian dream. A word of hope would do better. God Bless You and Me. God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Happy Independence day! |
