Nigeria @ 54: To Celebrate or Not To Celebrate?

Today is Nigeria's National Day. Today makes it exactly 54years since the British union Jack went down and was replaced with the green-white-green flag that now symbolizes the country.
Whether Nigerians have reasons to celebrate or not depends on who the question is directed. To some, the fact that we survived the civil war and have remained one nation in spite of the many turmoils and turbulence the country has had to grapple with, is enough reason to celebrate.
