I present to you an elegant 57 year old man. It’s Nigeria’s Independence and he represents our Nigeria of today; filled with beautiful, talented people, rich in cultural, mineral and natural resources.
He is wearing a double-breasted green two-piece suit with white detailing. It is no mistake dressing him in modern European attire but draped in Nigerian colours; this tells a story of how Nigeria got colonised by the British. White is not simply a colour in our flag; in this suit, it tells how little peace we had during that time.
He wears a traditional cap from the eastern Nigeria, holds a tassel, which is usually seen in the western part of Nigeria, and has a white pocket square which carries an emblem of the Hausa eternal knot, a traditional symbolic indicator of the Hausa identity. Here, we tie together the three major ethnic groups in Nigeria and still make it look good! All three accessories have added beauty to this 57 years old man; there should be unity even in our diversity.
We’re still standing.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY NIGERIA!
