NIGERIAN INDEPENDENCE

- (6 Oct 1960) Lagos racecourse was the scene, and it was the afternoon of Nigeria's great day with thousands awaiting the climax. Princess Alexandra, with Sir James Robertson (the retiring Governor General), must have enjoyed the whole jubilant atmosphere of the occasion. It was as the representative of Her Majesty the Queen that Princess Alexandra of Kent returned in the evening to hand over Nigeria's constitution to the Federal Prime Minister, Alhaji Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa. Next day came the State Opening of Parliament. Dr Azikiwe, President of the Senate and Governor-General Designate addressed the Princess, asking her to open Parliament by reading The Speech from the Throne.

Things like this make me sad. The amount of hope and happiness people had that day all down the drain. I love my country oo, but........
Your comment is a mood, big mood. Its like we have the most resourceful people but our ways ehn..

@@cashewnuttel9054 how?
@@anuoluwapo.6560 It's a question, not a statement. I continued the OP's sentence.
I love my country Nigeria
Good.
What about your country fellow country men?
We need to redefine what Independence means.!!
Up till now, Nigeria is still dependent. In 2019, Nigeria is still delapidated and incapacitated. 💯
According to flips on reddit, there are no "independent" countries because we are all tied to each other...
Dear Nigerians, you don't need to be so negative. Your nation may have flaws, doesn't mean you should downgrade it. SMH, y'all be loving and rating every country that isn't yours
Send me a note dear
I wanted to counter your response but I realized it was 2 years ago.. our country is shit😂
My friend close your mouth abeg. What business of yours is it?
Yeah, I mean there are far worse countries out there.
Have you heard of Somalia?
Sadly 99% of the characters are no longer alive. Such is life. Rip💐
These footage and others should be stored in our national archives if we have one. They prepared us to govern ourselves someday. We don't look for the best of the best regardless of tribe and prepare for the reins of government. Mediocre, sycophants, nonentities, fraudsters, etc, are the hallmarks our government and politics.
The most important day in Nigeria history
The most worst day in our life, how I wish they stay
@@alvinman8 Explain
@@MrDanielfff777 explains what?
@@alvinman8 Who should stay? And why was it the worst?
Do you think that Alexandra chick wore those gloves so she wouldn't touch the black skin of Nigerians?
God bless Nigeria
Amen
Amin
I hope you can say this about Nigeria now In 2022. You made this comment 4 years ago. What's the state of that country in present day? Kidnapping here and there and mayhem.

Greatest country on earth
Darn straight.
God bless federal republic of Nigeria
This was where We got it All wrong....It seemed all beautiful in the beginning! Now it's a wrench!
Happy Independence Day Nigeria!
Thanks my friends
First republic politicians had no clue about how to build a viable nation.
With no ideas about what to do, they simply used the country's wealth to give themselves luxurious life, leaving the country to drift.
Successive Administration followed the same pattern, and the country has been drifting since independence.
Oil wealth gave citizens a false sense security, even though there has never been strategic thinking and plans for the future.
Spiraling oil price has unraveled our lack of sustainable economic strategy. Till now, there is still no structure in place to diversify the economy, create economic opportunities, and arrest further descent into insecurity and chaos. Nigeria is already a failed State because of her clueless leaders

God Bless Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe
@@divinest nnamdi is a moron.
@@okeziechristopher9479 stop it! meanie
Bless him for what? 😆
Those people shouldn't be in history. The so called founding fathers were jokers
our fast leaders
Our founding fathers should have given England the American treatment rather than negotiate Independence over a cup of tea. The consequences of this plot is felt till this day.
So what will have been the difference ?
Why? What happened?
By the way there are countries who did fight for their independence but are very poor today.
I don't have any thing to say than we are better then den Dan now

Sah
In the general election which gave birth to our independence, NCNC came first;followed by AG. NPC came a distant third. It was a hung parliament. The leaders of NCNC under the leadership of Azikiwe felt more comfortable forging an alliance with NPC instead of AG under the leadership of Awolowo. That error of judgement and grandstanding compromised the objective of the independence struggle. We are yet to learn any lesson. We think more of ourselves than Nigeria. We must stop blaming the British and face reality.
It's a pity How our people got used to suffering
Isn't there a way to stop the suffering?
God go bless the person when they bring thus video shai Nigerian don shop shit.
Nigeria is still controlled by the British. This independence ceremony was a sham.
I don't believe you
@Can't mossad the Assad We want the disintegration of Nigeria to what it was before Britian stepped foot on out soil to create a Frankenstein border that has led to ethnic crises, poverty and civil wars.
Imagine this video and how terrible we have been up til now...
Rest in peace queen Elizabeth
Nigeria has never had a communist or socialist government while most of its neighbors had a communist or socialist government mainly it was German colony before WW1 in which Germany was the home to Karl Marx. Which is probably why Nigeria is a mostly religious country in its entire post British colonial rule.
Tell me why Hausa/Fulani won't say they are born to rule. Hausa/Fulani were the only ones here in this video. No wonder Nigeria has not moved forward till now...
look well bush boy and stop telling lies
i swear, We would have been didvide from the north if yoruba weren't traitors
omotayo oni the Hausa Fulani are the reason of the corruption in Nigeria. They are in control of everything in Nigeria. They stop progress with their ultra religious conservatism
@@divinest you are a bastard. Zik are part of the ppl who removed breaking up of Nigeria from constitution. Zik worked with sadauna for balewa to be prime minister why he did not attended meeting organized by him and Awo. He went straight to the north to form team against Awo. How Yoruba is a traitor dump head?
@@Onneukbaar thats mean
What has happened since the colonial masters left?
COLONIAL FRAUDSTERS OR masters
Check am, When you go to Britain to work, they call you 'immigrants' but they come to Nigeria to work you call them 'expatriates'
If Putin stay in power 20 years they call him 'Russian leader'
But if Mugabe stay in 20 years in power, he is 'Zimbabwean Dictator'
If they conscript black people for sale and forced labour without pay, they call themselves 'slave traders'
But if you hunt antelope in the bush for food, then you are 'animal poachers'
Traders and poachers, who sounds like a criminal.
I have to start using my sense. Shikena!
Na katakata happen since dem comot
Allah ya isa! We will never forgive the British.
Ghana is older than nigeria
And so fucking What, Malaysia and Ghana are desame age, now tell me what happened to ghana, can you compare the both in any level
Who cares
Nigeria could have gotten her independence around 1957, same time with Ghana. The Northern part of the Nigeria said they were not ready. They needed extra 3 years to be ready which pushed the independence to 1960.
Nigeria greatness fade away immediately they killed balewa
keep deceiving your stupid self
who killed balewa ????
@Uzo Uzodike were aguiyi ironsi and nzegwu fulanis????blocked brain cant answer me
This is the fact, the very act of killing this guy's destroyed this country and no amount of propaganda Will change it. We only learn from our mistakes.
@@ahmedkarage9633 lol go hold yuroba accountable the have been acting like the were not involved you see them green snake in a green grass never trust them
that name nigeria needs to be renamed!we didnt choose it
Fraudulent arrangements
The day north received Nigeria independence Constitution book is the day Nigeria is spoilt. Awolowo act as an opposition. They appoint yoruba to counter yoruba. Military coup detat killed many nationalist
The problem started when the 1966 coup happened
@@ray_light44 the coup was the right move
The cause of Nigeria problem was Aguyi Ironsi, how wish he finished what major kaduna started.
Those young military men saw the 2000s in 1966 but he was foolish enough not to see it
U be fool
@@NTNews.64 it is what it is....North shouldn't have been included in Nigeria
