Independence Day

On 1st October 1960, Nigeria became an Independent nation through the selfless, courageous, zealous and dedicated service of young representatives of the Nigerian people. These men were more concerned with nation building and the development of a nation they worked so hard to set free from the shackles of colonialism. They were more concerned with the unification and growth of the Nigerian people than with self enrichment. Sadly, many years after this victory the new breed of leaders derailed from this patriotic part.

Nigerians have witnessed a plethora of selfish leaders and representatives who have not only shown that they lack the ability to manage our affairs as a nation, but have slowly and ignorantly destroyed the firm foundations of this nation.

However, all hope is not lost. Today is another opportunity for our leaders to retrace their steps and for Nigerians to rise above all the prejudices restraining us from advancing as a nation.

For me, today is a day to remember men and women who fought hard to make this country a sovereign nation. A day to remember all Nigerians who have laid down their lives in the service and for the unity of this great nation. God bless my country.

Happy Independence Day Celebration Nigeria!!
