Today 1st October 2020, has been exactly 6 decades since the so called Independence and hence the celebration of what is not deserved to be celebrated.
Nigeria as a country which experience multiple transition of power to different angle since the 1960 event has not achieved anything worth celebrating from my point of view.
Nigeria at 60 but;
1- We still can't produce what we eat and we can't eat what we produce.
2- We are still taking our crude oil outside the country for refining and taking it back for consumption
3- Being a graduate is never a guarantee for job
4- We can't utilize our natural resources to cope with our economic fluctuation.
5- Those in power have make the political offices the key to enrich themselves and embezzled public funds, steal what their grand generation can not spent and still borrow loans that the next government can not repay
6- We still can't educate our nation and we are claiming fighting insecurities across the nation
7- We elect people in to power without knowing the reason for electing them and they don't know what we elected them to do.
8- We still can't power our nation with good electricity after series of consecutive budgets spending on power sectors.
9- We still can't practice democracy but we keep blaming others
10- We can't make our leaders accountable but we are always answerable to their stupidity.
With bunch and a lot of what I did not mention why should I celebrate the Independence? What have changed? We are still dependent, socially,economically, and even culturally, nothing worth celebrating.
May God Bless Nigeria, with the right leaders Amin.
