The Nigerian High Commission in Sierra Leone Call For Peaceful Co-existence at the wake of Nigeria’s 60th Independence

Inspite of the numerous challenges facing Africa’s Giant, Nigeria, which is peculiar with other countries in Africa, the nation has managed to stay together as one indivisible nation, since gaining independence on October 1, 1960, 

Although, there are divergent views of several citizens across the globe, as they take stock of their gains and losses so far. Anslem Maduka expressed his view saying “I honestly don’t think there is anything to celebrate with the increasing pain we face daily”, and another school of thought applauds the steadfastness of the country to remain in unity irrespective of the challenges the country has faced in recent years.   

In the capital city of Freetown, Sierra Leone, the High Commission marked the independence celebration with unique services held at the Hill Station Mosque and Winners chapel International Church respectively, Prayers were offered for the continued unity of Nigeria, with a unique message of Hope, Belief, Unity, and Peaceful co-existence as one entity.

Nigeria is arguably the world’s largest Black population nation boasting of massive wealth from oil production, with unique multi-ethnic groups comprising of about 250 different ethnic groups.

The country has remained knitted as one indivisible nation, the country may not be where they would love to be, at the moment but credit must be given to the nation for the unity that has kept them together.
