Umh. . . God bless Us everyone we are broken people living undeq loaded gun. For the sins of our father. The sins of our hand. The sins of our tongue. The sins of our young. What do the @60 mean to you now?

Hmmm

The negative changes are far more than the positive ones. Nevertheless, I still have hope in my country Nigeria that one day it shall be well. Happy anniversary to be all of us.

Deep down inside you, do you really believe in one Nigeria ��. Ask yourself this

Op, we don't need your long epistle.

SAVE HER by Correct Bro

Gone are the days when we used to cook fried rice with chicken to celebrate Independence Day.

The days when the streets were painted with green and white.

The days when clothing stores are packed with green and white shirts ready to be sold...

The days when people were itching to hear the 7 o clock speech from our president

Gone are the days when we see great match past from our children, our youths, our military, our civil servants.

What has happened to her?
Is she sick?
Can she be revived?
Is she dead?

So many questions with simple answers but complicated solutions.

The doctors handling her are not capable but won't let go.

They threaten to kill you if you want to save her.

They keep all her breast milk to themselves and allow her seed to die of starvation.

They throw drops of milk to silent the few grown ups who can talk and lock up the ones who refuse the epileptic offer.

They continually give her wrong dosage of her medicine.

They leave her in a dark ward where the noise of generators worsen her case.

They use the police to prevent her from being saved.

They only come to her seed when they want to rotate the leadership of the hospital.

No wonder the great Chinua Achebe said "There was a country"

Oh But...

Can we save her?
Who will save her?
How are we going to save her?

I don't have the answers, I don't have the finance to save her, I don't have the voice to save her but with the power of all her seeds, we can save her.

It is an Independence Day but not a Happy independence day

SAVE NIGERIA

A fool at 60

Yes, changed in bad light. Yes changed from good to worst. Yes changed from looting millions to looting billions under one man called Buhari. Yes change from giant of Africa to puppet of Africa under a man called Buhari etc.

The writer of this devilish, fallacious lies from the pit of El Rufai's hell fire must be a Yoruba Muslim of MURIC faction, what a people that have sworn to die of self-deceit and delusion

At sixty we pray that the Lord heal our land.may the peace of God reign in our country.

Cleanworld:
Can we start by changing this country name? This will definitely change the destiny of this country and may change the way other perceive us and the Nigeria factors.
The income government should use this as one of their campaign mantra and we will buy into reconstruction.

HARD FACT

HBD Nija

Why change the name when you can peacefully divide the country to smaller countries comprising of people of similar cultural, traditional and religious beliefs so they can see themselves as one people with one common goal Which will foster unity of purpose and direction and hence lead to security of lives/properties and of course common prosperity for each region.


Nigeria is not working, what's holding Nigeria together is Hausa-Fulani + Yoruba greed for Niger Delta crude oil, nothing more, nothing less.....let the crude oil dry up or let the value of crude fall to $1 per barrel as its currently heading to, and watch Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas demand for division of Nigeria.



Niger Delta people ought to be the ones championing for peaceful division of Nigeria now that crude oil still have some market value in the international market

All these are paid posts. Let them keep fooling themselves.

Nice write up.
Shows we're not where we used to be.

But our indomitable generations care less about their country's history.

Thanks for this!

This is by far the most insightful "eulogy" I've read today. It gives the reader (especially millennials) an insight into the state of the country at different times in it's history. The frequent sarcasm and ironies also made it an interesting read.

Thanks for sharing.

The only thing Nigeria has developed in is in corruption. Back then looting was in thousands, then millions now it's in billions.

Have we developed in Education...No. I wrote my WAEC in 2003 and I can tell you that back then the decency of secondary education was far better than what we have presently.

Have we developed in power...till date all the government keeps telling us is to pay for services not rendered. I mean who does that? Forcing your citizens to pay for darkness.

Have we developed in security...death in Nigeria isn't something sacred anymore. People die on daily basis that when you hear of it you don't even feel anything anymore. A whole governor of bronu was attacked by boko Haram, how would the citizens in such state feel?

You leave your house each day not know if it would be your last. The police have become agents of death. They kill law abiding citizens with impunity.

Have we improved in production...today every commodity has experienced and inflation of over 100%. From food, to petroleum products, to building materials cement and co, to prices of houses to cars, to custom duty....where are all these monies going?

Imagine buhari comparing Nigeria to Saudi Arabia...that man has no shame. Most Nigerians cant even afford two square meal.

Have we improved on crime rate...as a child then we do play outside till evening and our parents won't bother...today let a child miss for 30minutes. The parents would nearly have a heart attack. We have become an endangered species to one another... will kill each other brutally and ruthlessly. The hate amongst us is second to none.

Living and surviving in Nigeria from birth to 90 years is almost impossible.

Have we improved in leadership...our leaders of today see their office as a means to escape poverty. Our lazy youths who should hold them accountable sit 24/7 on social media arguing over rubbish, attacking each other.

See I just don't want to talk cos this country is just messed up.

Truth is we should just go our separate ways that's the best option for now. Not deceiving ourselves with this failed British project called Nigeria.

Happy new month

Well,you are not far from the truth,but then going our separate ways is not certain to solve our problems since it is the same set of leaders swindling us that will still hold office in our various independent republics.

Now is the best time to sell Nigeria and share the money to everybody�

Don't mind these cowards

60 miserable Years. What's there to celebrate? The hopelessness that pervades the citizens from east to west to north to south? The poverty? the hunger? 60 yrs of earning trillions of dollars with absolutely next to nothing to show for it in terms of improving the lives of the citizens?
Till we get it right 1st Oct should be declared "National wailing day" Cos its certain our leaders have ruined the opportunity of having a nation that should be competing with the best of the best.
To think we started at the almost same the Same time as south Korea is deeply depressing. While the Koreans are competing with the best we are in competition with failed nations like Somalia despite all our resources. Nepotism, tribalism, religious intolerance, winner takes all mentality and the born to rule mentality has made sure we remain amongst the worst in terms of development. Shame our leaders have been competing amongst themselves who is the better one in terms of failure.

Interesting write up!
I believed in the 60s we have better readers than now, many who commented here did not read pass second paragraph
