Nigeria @ 60 Not a time for celebration yet




Just like a deceptive couple at the verge of divorce, but still putting up a show of deception out there on the day of their anniversary to a wedding that have ended long before now. I expect many Nigerians who have lost faith in this Nation to still be celebrating our independence day in all hypocrisy (come to think of it, we Nigerians can be hypocritical wella - in Fela's word 'suffering and smiling').


I don't think we are at the point of celebration yet, if we must not deceive ourselves and get down to work we actually need more of work on this Nation 'Nigeria' than celebration.


Nothing to celebrate:

With millions of my brothers & sister's not able to afford good meal (living below a dollar per day).

With millions of children outside school (education too expensive them)

In a country where CAMA is more important than the lives of the followers to our religious leaders

Where politicians embezzle money for good roads to buy a car he/she can't drive on that same road.

Where an average family is the local government ( have to provide water, road, security etc.)

In a country where just mere relocation outside her is considered to be better.

Where promoters of peace and love have nothing close except in their deceptive packaging.

And lastly where few people are interested in doing the work of creating a greater Nation.

In my own opinion, let's do the work and not celebration. I will be insensitive to keep on celebrating when my brothers and sisters are in need. Nigerians are in need this is seriously not the time to celebrate but to work out progress of all in Nigeria.


I believe in the project Nigeria, it can work and it will work.

I Seun Ayilara is committed to working it

Dedicated to everyone working out her progress

Time Validates

Hey there. Let's set the alarm for a productive day ahead. Before diving in, let's acknowledge the date, which might vary depending on where you're tuning in from. Now, let's get to it. But first, a word on the political and economic landscape here in Nigeria. It's crucial to recognize that the political elite often prioritizes their own interests over those of the people. Trusting them blindly is akin to living in a cycle of déjà vu, where they justify their actions while contradicting the interests of the people. Remember the proposal some time back that all politicians should educate their kids within Nigeria? The dismissive response to that idea was telling. It's clear they prioritize their own convenience over the needs of the people. We mustn't be naive to think they have our best interests at heart. It's imperative for us, the citizens, to organize and protect our own interests. Unity among us is paramount, transcending divisions based on religion

The Merchant of Venice

I got to the point of deliberately using movies as an extension of my library. It was 2 weeks to the exam and the book "Merchant of Venice" would not enter my skull no matter how hard I tried, it was a book written by Shakespeare and like the usual Shakespeare style of writing this would be a bit technical also because of its settings (in literature setting means the actual place and time of an event). This literature is centred around the old Italian environment. So there were many terminologies used in English that were unclear because of the Italian twist. Don't forget it was 2 weeks before the WAEC (West African Examination Council) Exam.  The Twist - So my beautiful literature teacher got informed that there was a premiere of the Merchant of Venice book (the movie) at another school and gave us the update. It was the needed update very sure than any 'maga or fraudsters' update would rely on. It was a turning point in how I would begin seeing and interacting w
