Nigeria Celebrating 50 Years of Independence


The Federal Republic of Nigeria celebrated 50 years of independence today! Prior to the massive celebrations which took place around the country and in the diaspora the president Goodluck Jonathan addressed the nation in a special broadcast. He stated 'Today marks the dawn of a new era. It is in our hands to decide what we want to make of it. We must reawaken in ourselves the hunger and aspirations of our founding fathers for a strong, united and prosperous nation that shall be the pride of future generation.'
We hope the President has a plan for the country, that being said the question today remains: Is there anything worth celebrating?
