What do you know about the day? (Make sure you mention the actual date) (50 -100 wards)
Once upon a time, the white stormed the shore of Africa in dominion and control. Many natural resources in the land of Africa was explored willy nilly. And as if that was not enough, zillions of Able men and women were taken away for exploitation.
The shore of Africa was conquered, dominated and ruled by the white, their government, culture and traditions were forced to replace the indigenous lifestyle and rulership.
Nigeria was not an exception of the part of Africa that felt the hit colonization until 1st October 1960 when the elders and the then statemen said no, enough is enough, we are matured enough to be on our own, hence the press to gain independence which was eventually won on 1st October 1960.
1st October of every year, Nigeria commemorate the day they got independence from the hands of the white men. Indeed this day used to be a great day especially to the elders who know what it is to be free from control and dominion.
