Nigeria @58: What's Our Value

Oh! what a day we remember
What a day we got to know ourselves
It's our Independence day
On this very day back then in 1960, we were given powers to rule ourselves for good.
But to my greatest surprise, the people that these powers were given to still don't know how to manage them. For instance, if a man is being given a coin of about 10kobo to multiply it for as much as possible. He will try as hard as possible to get more than what is given to him but in our own case, the reverse is the case.
What a mess!
A country that's as big as our dear country can't just produce an efficient president for up to 4 year tenure and yet we compare ourselves to other very developing countries of the world.
Who's fooling who?
Tomorrow, the leaders will take their wives to America for child birth and those children will have American birth certificate but are Nigerians whereas their fathers are commissioners of this very country. Where is the independent?
Some of them even use the money that they were given to help the poor for their own personal selfish interest abroad.
And when all of these things are going on in a country we call an "Independent Country" I still have that doubt over and over again.
What are we independent of if I may ask?
The natural resources that we have in most south south states are not being made good for use in our dear country but we still have what it takes to convert it to usable products. Where is the independent?
Our leaders get medication abroad yet they brag that we have the best hospitals.
Let me stop hear for the sake of "Hate speech" because other areas which we think that we're okay are very faulty.
I'll still celebrate this country at 58 for there's no place like home.
Happy Independence Day Nigeria
I believed "We Can"
