On October 1, 1960, Nigeria gained independence after years of struggle, sacrifice, and resilience. That day was not merely the lowering of a colonial flag and the raising of a new one; it was the birth of a dream a nation built on justice, opportunity, and dignity for all her citizens.

 

Sixty-five years later, the Apero Mekunu reflects on that historic moment with pride but also with sober reflection. True independence, we believe, is not measured by ceremonies or anniversaries alone, but by the lived experiences of the ordinary Nigerian. It is about lifting the lives of farmers, workers, market traders, and young people who continue to bear the brunt of hardship.

 

Today, we ask an honest question: have we fully lived the promise of independence? For too many Nigerians, the answer is yet to be found. Poverty, inequality, and lack of opportunity remain obstacles to the freedom that was envisioned in 1960.

 

Independence must not remain a memory we celebrate once a year; it is a task we must embrace every day. As a movement committed to the welfare of the common people, Apero Mekunu calls on leaders at all levels to turn words into action to ensure that freedom is translated into fairness, justice, and tangible progress.

As Nigeria marks another Independence Day, we extend our warmest wishes to all Nigerians. But we also remind our fellow citizens: the true celebration will come only when independence is not symbolic, but real in the lives of every man, woman, and child.

 

Happy Independence Day, Nigeria.
