What Is The Nigerian Independence About?
Why is everything so twisted?
The things we see, seems to be real but proves to be wrong.
After the whole celebration and declaration of Nigerian independence in 1960, one would think Nigeria has gained its total liberty from slavery, oppressive ruling, human and material exploitation, etc; but reverse is the case. Only for Nigerians to be practicing quasi independence, advanced form of slavery, advanced form of exploitation, indirect hijacking of government by foreigners.
I once worked with a south-African firm, based here in Nigeria; workers were made to work Mondays to Saturdays and it was later directed for them to work on Sundays too, all in the name of "making a living", which shouldn't be so on any bases.
There are lots of foreign companies being established right here in Nigeria which one would have thought its a means of eradicating unemployment in the country and making lives better for Nigerians, based how well they have thrived and contributed to their home economy; but these companies make Nigerians work like peasants or serfs(slaves) of the old days and pay them with stipends including withholding their salaries at a point, just to prevent them from quitting. Poor Nigerians, they would keep on working because the Nigerian government has left them with no other choice but being at the mercy of foreigners to make an ends meet.
While the citizens (of Nigeria) are still doing whatever it takes or whatever they see to live, while Nigerians are still being used like labourers to grow the economy of another country and the Nigerian government is comfortable with it, the Independence we claim to have in 1960 is a Big Joke.......
