As Nigeria celebrates its 64th Independence anniversary, many Nigerians have expressed frustration, over the country’s ongoing economic problems with persistent struggle with bad leadership and state capture.
Nigerians while reacting on X formally known as Twitter, said that even after decades of independence, Nigeria is still stuck in corruption, poor governance, and economic hardship.
@Morris_Monye said, I wish I could wish the citizens a happy Independence Day. But I can’t. We are not independent. We are under state capture.
@EmerenwaTony said, Nigeria is still an economic appendage of the British govt & her greedy allies. Noting that the “state capture” is only the external signs of the desperation of the imperialistic powers because time is running against them.
@FelixOkodugba said We are not and we are still not ready to get this independence as a people
@RobGuerra90 said Celebrating Independence Day when we’re still wrestling with state capture? that’s like throwing a birthday party in a burning house
@ICUI4CU3592 said the country including me are totally fools ruled by fools make everyone Dey fool Dey go. Tinubu na clown.
@FaruqBashar said Na citizens abroad I dey see wey dey post about Independence Day for this status pass, it’s very easy to love nigeria from outside.
Nigeria actress Phyna known on X as unusualphyna said, “I feel there is nothing worth celebrating. There is hunger na who chop Dey celebrate. We are 64years old in hardship, hunger, floods, no quality school and roads, no listening to the citizens by the Government.
We are 64 and sinking, We are 64 and homeless, We are 64 and nothing Dey sup, Like the saying even an old person can still be unwise. It’s shameful, I rather cover my face than smile today!!!!!Nothing to celebrate in the country.

@KhairHumu said, Africa is still economically enslaved, how can someone wake up in celebration when they are still struggling for their first meal of the day, struggling to secure a good paying job.
@elohojoyce said, I see people posting green and white on social media and I ask myself what are they really celebrating? High cost of living, Poverty, Corruption, Oppression, Kidnapping
@EmakaGift100 said A patriotic Nigerian being chased by a patriotic police on the day when independence is being celebrated. Are they not serving the same Nigeria? Such comedy only happens in Nigeria.
@SirDavidBent said, Believe it or not, there was a time when Nigerians used to crowd the streets & celebrate Independence day.Waving small Nigerian flags & partying at every street corner. But now, people are so hungry & malnourished that they are just walking up & down the streets like zombies.
This rising outcry shows how unhappy citizens are with the lack of progress and the continued control of the country by selfish leaders.
