for the peace that we have in our dear country, i think that worth celebration

babasin:

peace where 'banks are robbed daily and both customers + staff shot to death?

peace where N628 that could build 500 primary schools is used to beautiful 'madam speaker's house'?
Bross thats true oohh

Now i understand Nigerians meaning of peace: absence of full outbreak of war!!!!!

But i thing "we the peaceful ones" celebration. Lets celebrate and thanx our Baba God for protecting us from hands of the wicked

flowerrose:

yes yes yes is a good thing to experience another year of independent in nigeria but i'm not happy. please ya'adua put smil on our face once again, make us feel like citizens.

teena:

Its high time we stopped complaining and meditate.

My priest in the church this morning said: "If there are 10million good citizens of Nigeria, 2 or 3 bad leaders can not put the nation in such a bad state". I think, he made a point there. We all should start making effort on our own as indivisuals, communities, etc to make a change in Nigeria.

Many of us are condeming Madam Speaker now; but how many of us will not mess up as she did if we have that opportunity. If you can not be trusted for small things; invariably, you can not handle bigger things. A friend of mine told me how he found a book in the library while he was in school, he kept it with him because it was invaluable. The book was very useful to him during his project writing, he never returned that book back to the library even after his graduation. When I insisted that what he did was wrong, he told me that even if he didnt take that book, another student would do so. This is one out of one million ways many of us are painting our dear country black.

You and I can bring a positive change to this country.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO ALL!

mrpataki:

I hear you madam speaker!

But what exactly are we celebrating here? Independence from what?

Dont tell me it is about the British Colonial era . . . . . . . . . . . And yet millions of Nigerians are dying for the British Visa everyday. Yet we say we are independent

Dont tell me we are 47 years old and yet we have nothing tangible to show for it.

Until there is a total overhaul of the thieves and rogues we have in the leadership system of Nigeria, then and only then can I say Happy Independence Day Nigeria!

moreshow:

Indeed a wonderfOOL thing to hear that Nigeria is 47 today,
A fool at 40 they say is fool 4ever, we are 47 and still can't limit if
not eradicating corruption the in th society more so amongst the elite,
we are 47 and still can't celebrate even One Month of no NEPA failure,
we are 47 and still can't find the killer of the former chief Judge of the Fedration,
we are 47 and average Nigerian can't assure himself of three square meal,
we are 47 and virtually 59% of our graduates are roaming about the street because of no job,
we are 47 and P-t Et--h still roaming the street with our 628Million.

Happy Birthday Nigerians though and may God bless Nigeria and we the Nigerians, Amin
