Benin marks 50 years of independence
The west African country of Benin marked 50 years of independence on Sunday with a giant parade attended by several African heads of state, and criticism of the damage of years of instability.
As Nigeria is celebrating her 51st independence anniversary, an Osun State-based socio-political group, the Peoples Welfare League, has said that Nigerians were yet to attain independence considering their living standard and the economy of the country.
