I can remember this rhymes we used to sing in my nursery school whenever we want to match into our classes the song goes like this.
On first October 1960
Nigeria got independence
Oh freedom oh freedom oh freedom
Freedom everyday eh eh eh
oh freedom oh freedom oh freedom
Oh freedom freedom every day.
Nursery school rhymes.

My question is do we have this freedom?
Yes we were free before now but right now I don't really think we are free. We need our freedom back, that Nigeria of our dream the better Nigeria our hero past dream of. They fought for better Nigeria some fought and die on the process some fought and retired with hope of new governance to complete where they stop. It hurt to see what you give your life for, fought for turn out shattered it is so devastated to witness this happens.

According to our Nigerian National Anthem:
Arise, O compatriots, Nigeria’s call obey
To serve our fatherland
With love and strength and faith
The labor of our heroes past
Shall never be in vain
To serve with heart and might
One nation bound in freedom, peace, and unity. This song was composed in 1978 by
Mr. Ben Odiase.

Our hero past has a good dream for Nigeria, they saw better Nigeria this is why they fought for independence which they successfully win in 1st October 1960 history was made that it was on this day that Nigeria got her independence. I know even though is not working out as expected but I do not have any other country than my country Nigeria I believe in Nigeria
I believe we are getting there
A country we will all be proud of

I joined the host of other Nigeria to
Wish my country nothing but that better Nigeria we hope for, that one Nigeria we dream of, that one voice, a Nigerian were we can boost of, a Nigeria were we enjoy peace, good governance, oneness, unity, love not a Nigeria that shed blood, kills, oppress, torture, no body has freedom to speech, no body cares about the well being of another everyone to their own. A Nigeria were government take security of the citizens serious, a Nigeria were citizens go about their business without being afraid being kill by unknown men

A Nigeria that citizens can be proud of
Not being a shame of but bold to stand up for.
Today I join Timi Dakolo in his song I love so much. GREAT NATION lyrics

Here we stand as a people
With one song, with one voice
We’re a nation, undivided and poised
We will take our stand, and build our land
With faith to defend what is ours

Here we are as a people
With one heart, for one cause
We’re determined to rebuild and restore
Where freedom reigns, and truth prevails
A land where there’s hope for us all
A land where there’s hope for us all

We’re all we have, we’ll defend our land
We believe in this nation, and we know we’ll get there
We’re all we have, we’ll defend our land
We believe in Nigeria and the promise she holds
And that one day we’ll shine like the sun
We’re a great nation

Though we are many people
Different tribes, different tongues
We’re united in our strength and resolve
To uphold the honour of our land
And for generations to come
And for generations to come

We’re all we have, we’ll defend our land
We believe in this nation, and we know we’ll get there
We’re all we have, we’ll defend our land
We believe in Nigeria and the promise she holds
And that one day we’ll shine like the sun
We’re a great nation
