Happy Independence?

Just two years from today Nigeria will be 50 year old. Yes! 50 years, i can hear some people yelling so quick? 1960 seems like yesternight in the eyes of so many Nigerians who are agog to see a true independent nation.

Wait a minute, can you please take a snap shot of 48year old man whom God blessed with every good gift yet, his family lives in
hopelessness, miserable, wretched, dismal, horrible, gloomy and utter
proverty of pennilessness, destitution, indigence neediness and impecuniousness instead of extravagance, indulgence, bonus, amenity, frill nd superfluity . And what you will get from the snap is the 48year old Nigeria.
48 years ago, some nationalist agitated for the freedom of today Nigeria. Today, millions of Nigerians are still agitating for the same independece Nigeria gained 48years ago, this is because the present Nigeria do not look like an independent nation where rule of law and order prevails.

The question is: How many Nigerians can proudly say 'i'm proud to be a Nigeria?' How many? We now hide our identity because of shame, because we have not done well as a nation, nd as an individual. Today, i choose not to write much about somany Nigerians who hate the green white green flag with passion. Or what do you expect from an oil rich nation whose people still lives like destitude. Maybe you dont understand what am talking about, i will suggest you take a two minute drive to any traffic jam nd see for yourself how somany Nigerians try to survive by go slow race known as survival of the fittess. Chasing bus drivers just because they want to sell a sachet of water to earn a living. And if you re fortunate to leave your house when the traffic is less, please check out for yourself the environment, it's a message on it own.

I see nothing wrong with the name Nigeria, but permit me to say something is wrong with the people of Nigeria and especially the so called leaders who
maskmask, costume, camouflage, masquerade, cover, cloak, front, veneer and conceal
themselves in a patrotic uniforms and keep displaying disloyalty to the electorate who wasted their precious time exercising their political franchise.

Our leaders ve changed, they are no longer responsible to take responsibility. Some of them now prefer to drink crude oil instead of water. They prefer to do their own personal business at the expense of the business of governance.

Since their children dont study here in Nigeria, what do u expect from our educational sector.

And since they can also afford to travel by air, there is no reasons for us to have a good road. Is there any need to improve the health system when they can jet out anytime for medical check.

Today 1st of october, calls for a serious somber, solemn, thoughtful, calm, grave, unexcited, unruffled, subdued, restrained, severe, sedate and a staid time,
nd not for any sensible Nigerian to socialize, do get-together, do festivity, revelry, merrymaking, bash, celebration or blast
Let's assess, appraise, gauge, estimate, calculate, weigh, value, price, weigh up today for a better tomorrow.

Let us not also forget that nations dont make people but people makes nation. To build a better Nigeria it's not the business of our leaders alone, we all have a strong role to play if we want a better nigeria.

Let support our good leaders and expose the bad ones among them. Pray for them nd dont be pestimistic about the future of this country.
