Another October
1st is here! Yes, Happy Independence (even as I couldn’t sleep well
due to the fear the vigilantes in my area gave the whole neighbourhood about an
impending serial armed robbery)! Yes, the famous October 1st is here and my mom
can like to regale us with how they usually wore all whites and trekked from
Agodi-Gate to Liberty Stadium just to celebrate the Independence Day. Yes, they
did. And they usually met friends on the road, with whom they would sing and
talk to their destination without knowing they just walked across the
metropolis. Where are the school pupils walking today? And is Nigeria still the
country that had done you so proudly that you would willingly walk under the
sun to celebrate her independence?
