the cost of celebratn could be used to improve standard of living
Just imagine what would have worked if 9ja has steady power supply
Dead dreams would be living, man can build on ideas on daily basis and be independent bla bla bla

Failure at 50 is not worth it! The successful future of a child of today is in the hands of his corrupt father or else,
NOTHING FOR THE CHILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's nothing to celebrate about Nigeria.
Re: Nigeria At 50: Is It Worth Celebrating? by CGKing(m): 10:14pm On Sep 25, 2010
Be frank, lets not confuse patirotism for sincerity. There is nothing worth celebrating folks. Its like a pupil who failed his exams; should he be celebrating or sincerely and soberly consider how to make it with the next opportunity.

9ja needs more optimists amongst its population. We could easily be Sudan or Somalia, una know abi? We still have hope, and that, to me, is worth celebrating. I love my country very much and know that the next 50 years will be far brighter. In order to triumph, one must suffer. We have suffered. If we wish to be triumphant, we must want change, and I believe that day is near.

the bolded statement was what our forebearers thought too. be realistic do you see any signs that indicates things are or will get better? (please dont say fashola). truth be told it's getting worse by the day. have you been to sudan or somalia? i have. my guy dont you ever compare us to them. you cant really blame them for being the way they are. they pretty much dont have anything to boast of except for maybe sudan's oil which is scanty at best compared to ours. in our own case we have the human and natural resource in excess not to mention the most friendly weather in the world. and what do our leaders do with these blessings? they squander it all for personal gain. until we take up arms and take back what is our God given right na type we go continue to type for NL. it's a start anyway; when enough angry voices come together action is inevitable.

To me i don't think there's nothing to Celebrate.
Re: Nigeria At 50: Is It Worth Celebrating? by copho(f): 12:41pm On Sep 26, 2010
If you lived your life through ups and downs, and managed to still be alive in one peice at 50 years old, knowing that things are getting better and you still have a chance of someday being somebody, will you not celebrate?

Nigeria at 50 is definitely worth celebrating and i don't see any reason why i should not be celebrating. Rather than asking what has Nigeria ever done for me, i am asking what can i do for Nigeria.

I hope you all will be celebrating too :-)

Yea we have to celebrate, even though we have co---pt leaders dat doesnt want us to move forward quick. But be it fast or slow we are geting there one day,
Re: Nigeria At 50: Is It Worth Celebrating? by Abbygyal(f): 1:07pm On Sep 26, 2010
Most people around me are going crazy coz naija is almost 50. Ask the real bugging questions; what have we achieved as a country? has life expectancy increased? Mortality rate?
But noooo everyone wants to buy a tshirt and celebrate.
Personally, i am happy we will be 50 but i am sad we are very far behind!!! the cake issue is pissing me off, !

with these few pictures of mine, anyone that is planing to celebrate instead of mourning, that one needs to see a doctor.

Who can tell Nigerians what we are celebrating at fifty, or is it POVERTY, corruption, negligence of some parts of Nigeria, injustice, you name them and a huge amount of money has been earmarked for it

he is a proponent of 'dont talk bad about nigeria', 'lets be positive' and all that

he spent 8hrs on the road. On a sunday morning.

he called me and said ' babe, i dont know what we are celebrating oh, this country is sick'

you are not helping. can you ever imagine getting to 50 years of age and not achieve anything? no car, no place to live, no job, no husband and no children, would you be celebrating? i can bet my life that you would be crawled up in a corner pondering what happened? not throwing owambe party with borrowed money to celebrate being alive.
