Nigerians living in Manchester would really have to make an effort to forget their Independence Day this year. Posters (pictured below) advertising Independence Day celebrations have popped up across the city this past week. On the 1st of October, Nigeria will be two years shy of celebrating fifty years of independence from British rule. Given the turbulent post-independence legacies of many African countries, I wonder what note this year’s celebrations will strike in the Nigerian national psyche. As the countdown continues, allow me to wish Africa’s most populous nation a bright and prosperous future.
