5 Events Where Lagos Youth Are Celebrating Independence Day

Of all the celebrations a country like Nigeria observes, its birth (Independence Day) is at the top of the list. As the African giant turns 65, we can all officially refer to the nation as a retiree (as the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) would like to have it). 

Meanwhile, if there's anything unique about retirements, it is the belief that it's a time to relax, reflect, celebrate, and enjoy every moment. Before you ask, “What is there to celebrate?” Here are a few:

• our music excellence,

• female sports triumphs (no apologies to the men),

• Nigerian jollof supremacy,

• multiple war conquests on X (Twitter), etc. 

So, this Independence Day, we stand in solidarity with our nation in her new age, celebrating the growth and achievements that have brought us to where we are today. 

That means, like retirees, we must make the most of every moment we have. Again, what better way to do so than by attending any of these five Independence Day-themed events in Lagos you must not miss?
