Nigeria at 59: May we not be embarrassed again — Sulaiman declared

Plenty of Independence speeches, wishes, and prayers has been made by leaders in the country as the nation observe its 59th Independence Anniversary today.



The President (Muhammadu Buhari) in an earlier independence speech, highlighted his government’s achievements and commitment toward actualizing its next level agenda for the nation.

The President has arguably endured a difficult year since the 58th anniversary due to constant attacks by critics who accuse the Buhari administration of suppressing free speech, oppressing the poor masses, and causing division among ethnicities in the country especially between the Fulani and the rest through preferential treatment.


As the nation celebrates yet another independence day, agitations and calls for either restructuring or separation has escalated due to the aforementioned issues and accusations against the current government. Unless the Buhari administration returns to democratic principles of Governance, little else can be expected for the better in the coming years.

On this 59th independence of Nigeria,may we get back our place in the community of nations.may our rights be no more trampled on the altar of political greed..may God amongst us a new breed without greed.may the best of our past become the least of our future.GOD bless nigeria.

But Apostle Johnson Sulaiman who himself had suffered trials under the current administration, seemed a bit more concerned by how low the country has gone under Buhari's leadership.


Speaking via Twitter, the pastor of Omega Fire Ministry said, "Nigeria On this 59th independence of Nigeria, may we get back our place in the community of nations.may our rights be no more trampled on the altar of political greed..may God amongst us a new breed without greed.may the best of our past become the least of our future.GOD bless nigeria."
