THAT WE MAY BE INDEPENDENT FROM THIS INDEPENDENCE  

Today, we join the rest of the world to commemorate with our dear country on yet another annual record of celebration after we gained independence from the stranglehold of oppression, humiliation and exploitation in 1960. It is indeed a feat worthy of an annual remembrance and jubilation.

However, at this stage in our national calendar, it behooves on us quickly to make a sober reflections and necessary reminiscences to our historical pains and gains, to our trajectory fortunes and misdeeds. At age 58, we should be geared at promoting our national gains and fortunes while similarly throwing to a bottomless pit, all resolves that has been responsible for our backward progress.

At this stage in our national calendar, we should hold strongly to the real adoption in the truism of Nigeria being the giant of Africa, we similarly should make the giant whole in its entirety, an attempt to separate the head, the arm and parts of the giant is tantamount to consciously making a dwarf of a giant. An attempt at secession is a deliberate attempt indeed to render our giant powerless which applies with equal force to our giant full of sound and fury while signifying nothing. At this point, we should aggregate our strength and unify our differences.

At this stage in our national calendar, we should walk without fear and send our daughters to schools without a subsequent call for “bring backs”.
At this stage in our national calendar, we should have the real picture of a true democracy where the people really matter and where elections are not done for us in unconscientious proxy.

At this stage in our national calendar, we should align with the Biblical antics in 1 Corinthians 13:11 and put away childish things. Only then would our independence be independent.

Happy Independence Day.
Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Daniel O. Adedigba,
President,
Law Students’ Society,
Obafemi Awolowo University,

1st October 2018.
