Independence but not free
When Nigeria gained independence from British authority in 1960 and was proclaimed a federal republic with Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe serving as its first president, it was a momentous day in Nigerian history. It is truly a day to honor freedom because it is not something that can be attained without cost. Following independence, on January 15, 1966, there was the first military takeover, also known as the founding of the first republic, which was controlled by several leaders who represented the various regions. Very intriguing system of governing. Although we are celebrating our independence, are we truly free? We practice democracy which was supposed to be a government of the people, where the priority of the government is supposed to be the people but their priority is now their pockets greed has taken over our nation, and corruption has eaten deep into our system that as crumble the economy and governance of our nation indeed we celebrate freedom but still in bondage, but despite the challenges we stand firm and hope for the best, let's pray and hope for the best, Nigeria is our home our land and our nation, we also have a role to play as its citizen so let’s perform our duties correctly and God bless Nigeria.

Those days are gone, when people look forward to Nigeria's Independence day. Back in the days it was celebrated just like Christmas and Sallah, but today the only thing most citizens are looking forward to is the two days holiday, just to take a little rest from work. If the economy were to be better than this, most of us will have more than just life to be grateful for. But the bad governance would not allow it. A government that ordered the shooting of her own citizens on their own soil just less than 20 days after the Anniversary celebration of their freedom, where is the freedom in that?
Someone is still there pray for the spirit and soul of our fallen heroes, I think we can only do them proud when we pray for and support our present and future heroes. Weve been waiting for the messiah who will not turn a blind eye to the things happening within the nation. I just hope we find him coming 2023.
I still think there's a light at the end of this tunnel, we just need to walk smartly towards it. NIGERIA WILL BE GREAT AGAIN.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE 9JA
