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.
di independent wey Nigeria got dat na political independent, Nigeria still dey suffer 4 economic dependent. Azikwe was a ceremonial president. As of dat time of di independent in1960, Nigeria was operating parliamentary system which was having 2 heads. Head of State and Head of Government. Azikwe was di head of government nd head of govert was onli 2 attend ceremonies. And Head of State 2 carry out di administrative activities and Tafawa Balewa was the Head of State.
