In the next one week, Nigeria will be celebrating another independence which may probably be tagged "Nigeria at 51". October 1 is indeed a remarkable day in the history of the Nation. Precisely, 1 October, 1960, Nigeria gained her independence from the British colony. Indication of freedom and development in quote. Has Nigeria as a nation fulfull the requirement of independence?

I keep to ask myself. What do you we celebrate in independence if the citizens are yet to feel the impact of it. Does it worth celebrating?

Looking sojourn so far... Can we access Nigeria from 1960 till date base on the following.
Rate Nigeria at 51 on scale 1 - 5 (1=Poor, 2=Fair, 3=Good, 4=Very Good, 5=excellent)?

1. Road Construction and Maintenance
2. Security of lives and properties
3. Education
4. Power supplies / Electricity
5. Freedom of expression
6. Freedom of association
7. Job creation and employment
8. Other infrastructure and social amenities
