Fashola Condemns Nigeria’s Centenary Celebration Plan by abu12: 8:51pm On Oct 01, 2013 |
As Nigeria marks 53rd independence anniversary, Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has condemned the plan by the Federal Government to celebrate the Centenary of the amalgamation in 1914 of the disparate ethnic groups by a British colonialist, describing it as a distortion of history. http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2013/10/01/fashola-condemns-nigerias-centenary-celebration-plan/ 2 Likes |

Fashola as raise many question begging for an answer, GEJ and his crew should have a rethink on his centenary celebration. One thing I want to know is that are we celebrating british colonialism over nigeria since 1914 or what? 2 Likes |

Abeg, Oga Fashola stop wasting your time. Nigeria has absolutely nothing to celebrate @ 20, 30, 40, 45, 50 or 53. All our leaders (current or past) should be ashamed of themselves, in fact each of them should get 53 lashes for turning a great nation into a very large inexpensive latrine. It makes no sense to even bother to figure out which history one should acknowledge; whether we should celebrate 1914 or 1960, it doesn't matter. The whole thing is f00lish. As long as a very large percentage of Nigerian citizens continues to live in poverty, no jobs, no constant electric power, poor water supply, zero security, bad roads, corruption from the top to the bottom and weak education/medical system, Nigeria will continue to be a very large inexpensive latrine that is also full of human waste (sh1t). And very very soon (even with flashy life style and range rovers) Nigerians will no longer be respected anywhere around the world. Today is a sad day for Nigeria and Nigerians. Shame on each and everyone of us. 2 Likes |

I think this is ignorant coming Fashola. So, because people did not roll out drums to celebrate in 1914 does not distort the fact that, that was when Nigeria became one country and it's even a more important date than October 1 1960 because we're talking about the country here and when it was formed. But as far as the celebration is concerned, i think it's a waste of resources. 5 Likes |

malc619:Why didn't you change the name of the country when you gained independence from the colonial powers to mark the beginning of a new nation. Nigeria has always existed since 1914 as a country despite being a British colony and it remains Nigeria's birthday. I don't even know why anyone would argue that. Fashola goofed on this one. 1 Like |
