What really made us think we're independent?

There is nothing to celebrate,than disenchantment,hunger,instant killings and ASSU strike in the land.

This is a proof that Nigeria has ended, all thanks to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu the holy prophet, from 1 to now 3, Nigeria is a scam. That company of Britain called Nigeria must end, it's part of a process making Britain and France to fall, and various Ethic groups in Nig rise to power.

Are we independent? Who's in charge of our Nigerian air? Who refines our fuel? Who controls our power sectors? Chinese, Lebanese, English people etc... We are enslaved mentally and that's worse than any kind of slavery

That day is already sit at home in Biafra land

Yesoo, after the Oct 1 ObiDatti March nationwide, man go rest well.

😂😂😂😂

What are they celebrating? thank God that day is sit at home in Biafra land

Public of Animals kingdom

Ths country and unnecessary holidays. Tufiakwa

Must people stay at home? If the independent day falls on Saturday or Sunday so be it, why give public holiday when there is no need to do so. Has this government ever calculated how much is lost by just asking people to stay at home for a day?

You got nothing to celebrate 🥳

I keep asking what’s to be celebrated...62 years of “leaders” failing its people

62 years of killings nd destructions of people.
