Hullo people, something I could not have believed happened yesterday. I was with little kids going to the stadium for the celebration of the annual October First's celebration. One of the primary school students with me came closer and asked me if I would allow him to go back home. Why would you want to go back home and why asking for permission from me? The little boy said "I do not like to celebrate what I do not understand. I do not know the reason why I must be at the stadium after-all today is not children's day." Today is Nigeria's independence anniversary day, I replied. The boy looked me in the eyes and said "I am still asking my mother if I am really a Nigerian."
I tried my best to convince him to just follow others and do whatever they do in the stadium that is not evil. He can makeup his mind that he is going for sports.
I came back and all through the night I was trying to decode this boy's mind and this is what I came up with.
