October 1 is the day we celebrate the freedom from colonialism, but that's about the historical factor of it. I believe too that today is the day where every Nigerian one way or another celebrates his or her own freedom.
For a country that says freedom to..... I feel that we still walk in loose shackles. We witness financial bondage, in the sense that we are not free from the masters of hunger and oppression , bondage by insecurity in the sense that we are not free from the masters of fear, the bondage of colour, in the sense that we men has subjected ourselves to the colour of black and white and then the bondage that still holds us against association, we all seem like oil in a bowl of water.
But today I'm independent because I have "choice". I "choose" to stand to be for or against...
I am independent because I walk in a shackle that I let myself in and can be broken out of any time.
I am independent because I can be heard. I can scream and it will echo
I am free because there is Democracy.... So I stand a chance
I am free because I can feel... My emotions are not controlled by the higher masters
There are many things a man can say for himself why he is celebrating today.
But I am celebrating today be cause...
"I'm Nina Hart and I am free because I am who I CHOOSE TO BE"
Comment below on why you are celebrating today. With "I AM FREE BECAUSE...."
Let us know your freedom story...
