Independence Anniversary
Nigeria our beloved country. How yesterday it was when you gained your independence from the colonial masters but it's been 48 years now. So far the journey had been so adventurous and full of events which are to be remembered for ever while some are not wished to be thought about.
But of what good is our celebration when we have strong legs but still can not stand, we have bogus eyes but fail to see, big heart yet don't feel or care, our strong teeth but can't bite nor chew. Despite these and lots more, we still are Big Brother.
Of what essence is our jubilation when our leadership i s characterized by corruption, our economy stricken with abject poverty, our people suffering amidst surplus, people of age bracket fully unemployed better still under-employed.
Our cries are not seen, our fear are not felt, our lives are not secured less our properties, our faith faceless rather their wealth multiplies, their riches no bound, their happiness limitless at out detriment.
Everybody keeps hoping for a better day, but when will it actually come? let's keep fingers crossed as we pray the Almighty come to our aid, putting our interest at the fore-front of their heart. I keep having faith that it'll get better, some day soon. Nigerians keep faith.
