Nigeria @ 65 Years of Nationhood; Hope or Despair?

The advent of the independence of Nigeria from Britain on the 1st of October, 1960 came with much enthusiasm and there is a high anticipation of a budding nation with great potentials to became a great nation. Now, sixty five years down the road, where does Nigeria stand?

What do we have today? A nation with disillusioned citizens. Dashed hopes of an uncertain future being plagued by bad leadership, worsening institutional corruption, economic stagnation, deteriorating insecurity and healthcare facilities, gross unemployment and poor educational system among many ills. So, the question is whither Nigeria?

This was vividly captured in a song by the legendary pan-Nigerian musical icon – Sunny Okosun in his “WHICH WAY NIGERIA?” BY LATE SONNY OKOSUN( 1 JANUARY 1947 – 24 MAY 2008 )
