    “Orente no Dey complain. Happy independence dayyy Nigeria ?”

    TheNewsGuru.com reports that Independence Day is an official national holiday in Nigeria, celebrated on the 1st of October.

    It marks Nigeria’s proclamation of independence from British rule on 1 October 1960.

    Recall that in 1914, the Southern Nigeria Protectorate was combined with the Northern Nigeria Protectorate to create the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria, which has the borders of modern-day Nigeria.

    By the late 1950s, the call for independence of territories in Africa and the decline of the British Empire led to the country being granted independence on 1 October 1960 as the Federation of Nigeria.

    Three years later, the constitution was amended and the country was declared the Federal Republic of Nigeria with Nnamdi Azikiwe, previously Governor-General, as the first President.

    In 1960, Lieutenant David Ejoor, who later became the Chief of Army Staff, had the honor of commanding the guard at the midnight flag raising ceremony.

    The Independence Day holiday is celebrated annually by the government of Nigeria.

    The festivities begin with the President’s address to the people, which is broadcast on radio and television.

    There are also celebrations across all sectors in Nigeria, including the Nigerian Armed Forces, the Nigeria Police Force, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the workforce and national education services.

    For instance, the primary and secondary schools perform a ceremonial marchpast in various state capitals and local government areas where they are located.

    The streets are filled with celebrations as individuals and groups troupe to the streets wearing green-white-green. Offices and certain markets are closed in Nigeria on 1 October.

    I feel comfortable when people compare Tacha, Erica to me-Cee-c

    The first runner-up at the third edition of Big Brother Naija, Cynthia Nwadiora, popularly known as Cee-C has averred that she feels comfortable when people compare her to Tacha and Erica who were once disqualified from the show.

     

    Speaking in a chat with media personality, she said:” People are not used to strong women or women that have strong opinions. So they will always remember the ones that have been like that. No I loved it because it felt like being the first that actually came and did different from what every other person did on the show. I made people feel comfortable to feel safe and go on the show and be themselves. Because I was myself, I came out and I turned out great. By being myself, I made them comfortable and safe to be themselves. They are doing amazing, they are doing well”.

     

    Asked why people have a scary perception about her, Cee-c who also doubles as an entrepreneur said :”I haven’t allowed society influence me, I am still who I am. You can see that I am all about my goals, being the best version of myself. I also have high standards. Anybody who is always trying to be who the person was yesterday, I mean you should be scared of the person. I think they see all of that, may be it scares them”.

     

    Cee-c also noted that though she is a very sensitive person, but Oluwabamike Olawunmi, better known as Bambam taught her to be calm.

     

    “I am a very sensitive person but I have learnt how to control myself. I have learnt how to be calm. I learnt it from someone in the Big Brother House, Bambam. She is always calm no matter what is going on. That is one thing I actually admired about her. I will give her the credit, she is such a calm person. That is one thing I took from her in the house, she is so calm”

    I experienced a lot of hatred after BBNaija- Cee-C

    Cynthia ‘Cee-C‘ Nwadiora, ex-housemate of the Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) reality TV, stated that she experienced a lot of hatred after her time on the show.

    Cee-C revealed on how she managed to deal with negative criticisms after the 2018 edition of the show in the latest episode of #WithChude.

    According to her, the depth of love she got from her “inner cycle” helped her to deal with the toxicity that came her way at the time.

    “When I came out of the house, I experienced a lot of hatred. That was very obvious,” she said.

    “I can’t say for sure where exactly the hate was coming from but one thing the people around me did for me was that they helped me to focus on the positive side. You know, the love. So, I was not paying attention to the hate.

    “People should say what they want to say, it is really not my business. What matters to me is myself and people who actually care about me.”

    She also recalled that while the show lasted, she found it difficult to adapt but managed to overcome her struggles with the help of a fellow housemate.

     

    “I didn’t know what to do with myself. For me it was more like, just survive. To do this, I got close to a particular person in the house. That was the only way I could survive. So, when everything went bad, it hit me hard,” she added.

    Cee-C emerged first runner-up during the show’s third season and has continued to expand her brand in the entertainment industry.

    From Psquare brothers to Omotola, to Zainab Balogun and Alibaba, the list of celebrities who have contracted the deadly virus has continued to grow.

    On why she shared her isolation experience on social media, Zainab Balogun said:“I am familiar with the nonchalant attitude that many people still have about the virus. There are too many talks of it not being real. I want to lend my voice to clarify some of those rumours and encourage people to take the pandemic seriously. I know of at least 15 people who died from COVID-19, and that changes my perspective greatly.

    “Unfortunately, people often fail to believe until it hits close to home. COVID-19 is not fake. The number of people dying is not fake. The numbers in the morgue don’t lie. The virus has no preference for rich or poor. It is neither malaria nor a simple cough/cold. We have a responsibility to ourselves and families to be safe and take things seriously. We should not wait for it to get close to home.”
