Nigeria @66: Beyond flags and speeches (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tomorrow, Thursday, is October 1, and the nation is already in a celebratory mood again. It has been 66 years since the country gained independence from its colonial masters. Children born on the day the Union Jack was lowered are already senior citizens in their own right. Attaining 66 years is, no doubt, no mean achievement. On Monday afternoon, when I walked into a supermarket I frequent in a part of Ogun State, I met people already decorating the space with green-and-white balloons. It is th
