The STATE OF OUR RULE OF LAW
The scale of justice has become a calabash to contain / drain blood.
The sword of justice has been switched to the matchete of hacking.
The veil has been lifted, no wonder she went after us.#October1st #IndependenceDay #NigeriaAt59 pic.twitter.com/796nWvEbHh

A 74yo man from my village was offered jobs even before he wrote his final exams in Uni. But Mr President, GCFR, WAEC told us that a university degree is no longer a meal ticket. A generation older than Nigeria have eaten the fruit of the land and cut off the roots#NigeriaAt59 pic.twitter.com/PvC1ACvJJU

#NigeriaAt59 but:
we can't go out 'cus SARS will harass us,
we don't have good roads, electricity,adequate security system,no employment opportunities for the youths yet someone called us lazy. We are your prisoners.
With due respect sir, Fvck you & your independence celebration https://t.co/KtzUsggYrF— Romance and Chaos ???????????????? (@DJPhemzydee) October 1, 2019
There is nothing new in Mr President’s speech. We have heard all these before, the increase in power, corruption fighting back. I expected that the President would dwell more on the challenge of insecurity in this country.

I don't feel good today because we're still in bondage not by our colonizers but our leaders that we voted into office. This isn't the Nigeria I hoped for, we're backward more than ever. Nigeria where did we go wrong? #NigeriaAt59 pic.twitter.com/ByPjHyqi11

59 years of Mediocrity
Health ❌
Education ❌
Social Amenities ❌
Sustainability ❌
Stability and many more ❌
All our leaders and their family, past and current needs to tender an apology to us all.
Happy independence Nigeria #NigeriaAt59— ???? iRis ???? (@iRisFacts) October 1, 2019
Mother #Nigeria,
Don't worry, you'll survive all these rapists that care for nothing but your wealth.
For 59 years, they've been using you and dumping you with your confused children, I hope by 2023 they would have got enough sense to free you.#IndependenceDay #NigeriaAt59 pic.twitter.com/A6Ln0kJsrg
