I still have sharp recollections of Maiduguri of 1960, the year Nigeria attained independence status. In that watershed of a year, I had just reached school age

and was enrolled in class one in Hausari Primary School – one of the few primary schools in the town lying directly opposite our family home in Fezzan ward. As school kids, we did not make out much of the hullabaloo surrounding the Independence celebrations but the bigger ones among us were on independence day made to join the exciting marches and parades. Nevertheless, every school kid was a proud recipient of the celebratory cups and small flags that were embossed with the new national flag.
