    #NigeriaAt58: Here are 3 Amazing Trends by Nigerians on Twitter @ 2018 Independence Day

    #NigeriaAt58: Here are 3 Amazing Trends by Nigerians on Twitter @ 2018 Independence Day

    October 1st is supposed to be the most patriotic day on the Nigerian calendar. As the day we got our independence in 1960, this is one day we expect Nigerians to put out fireworks and get livid for the country.

    So we decided to go on to Twitter to see what the Independence Day celebration looked like. How did it feel like? And what did Nigerians say about our independence? And here’s what we found out.

    Nigerians Are Pessimistic About the Country

    Nigerians endure a lot already in the polity of the country. Since independence, we’ve endured the killings in various quarters, corruption, poverty, unemployment, among many others. The net sum? Nigerians are now highly sceptical about the country.

    And in most of the tweets surveyed, this fact was always present.

    One day this country will take its rightful place in the League of Nations.its citizens will have basics like electricity, water, education, healthcare,jobs! That day is here but we need to vote right in 2019! Please vote competence not religion, sex or tribe #Nigeria58

    — AuduMaikori (@Audu) October 1, 2018

    Today only the political class had no issues celebrating Nigeria, the rest of the citizens has one issue to complain about #HappyIndependenceNG #fixthecountry #Nigeria58

    — Nwachukwu Ozioma E (@oznwachukwu) October 1, 2018

    @aedcelectricity we said Nigeria is 58 yet even the presidential speech we can't hear due to power failure in Kabba kogi state, since morning no light on #Nigeria58 is a shame

    — emmanuel T babatunde (@Emmanubabat) October 1, 2018

    Nigerians are dying in Jos plateau state while some people are celebrating independence day. what's there to celebrate when lives have no value anymore, soldiers are killing people, your govt keeps lying to you & u are happy?#NigeriaAt58 #NigerianIndependenceDay

    What’s your present situation with today being Independence Day #Nigeria58

    Mine: No Light 😤

    — Harley Quinn Reine 👸🏽 (@Ms_Meharley) October 1, 2018

    @MBuhari @ProfOsinbajo Your inability to secure the lives and properties of Nigerians make you complicit to murder and destruction. There is blood on your hands! You have the power to fix it, fix it, stop playing politics and fix it!! #Nigeria58 #NigeriaAt58

    — Ken ILOKA (@ken_iloka) October 1, 2018

    Nigerians Love to Celebrate Independence Day

    Irrespective of how things are though, Nigerians still love celebrating Independence Day. Despite the issues, Nigerians are really just patriotic people looking for every available space show it. And October 1st is an opportunity.

    Nigerians Can’t Stop Showing themselves

    One thing most Nigerians did on Twitter on October 1st was to celebrate with pictures—pictures of themselves. We just like to feel ourselves even when the occasion is clearly not about us sha!

    Happy Independence Day Nigeria ❤️🇳🇬 #NigerianIndependenceDay pic.twitter.com/ieikTqdU0b

    Funmilola. Pronounced “Foomi-Lola”. It means “GOD HAS GIVEN US WEALTH.” I go by Angel bc I hated going by this name 4 so long. 1 day I realized, I am who I am, because of where I come from. I’d stopped running from who I was, & embraced who I am. Happy #NigerianIndependenceDay ✨ pic.twitter.com/htvCFZVpNS
