As Nigeria marks her 62nd Independence Day anniversary today, Saturday Beats speaks to some veteran actors, Kola Oyewo, Lola Afolayan, Adebayo Salami and Jide Kosoko, about their memories of the country’s Independence Day event and other issues

“Everyone has become a boss of their own; people who were in the boys’ scout and girls’ guild in those days were seen as worthy people and their mates would also crave to be in their position. Nowadays, people are after money. A 15-year-old child, who is supposed to be tutored, now believes he has grown and that his mates own a car,” Afolayan stated.

On the level of growth the nation has experienced since independence, he said, “I agree that things are not the way we expected them to be. Also, the government has not prepared for the continuous increase in population to ensure that every aspect of life is taken care of. “As an entertainer, back then when Independence Day celebration was approaching, we used to have a lot of activities. We took entertainment to the Bar Beach, Lagos, and various places where people gathered to celebrate and enjoy different acrobatic and masquerade displays.

On his most memorable Independence Day celebration, he said, “My most memorable Independence Day celebration was on October 1, 1960. I was on the street holding the Nigerian flag and I was given an egg.”
