Oct 1st marks 57th year of Independence for Nigeria #happyindependenceday

‘Giant of Africa’, Nigeria, celebrates 57 years of independence today as grandly as you can expect from the most populous African nation.

Check out some of the commemorative works via Instagram honoring the independence day:

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE NIGERIANS (101) Nigeria is the giant of Africa. And of course, this country has quite a history behind it. Nigeria was referred to as Colonial Nigeria. Colonial Nigeria now became independent on 1960 and became a republic in 1963.  The British prohibited slave trade in 1807 and that was the time Nigeria’s influence began to be noticed on global scale.
