The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria

Veteran gospel singer, Bola Are, has said that she is feels privileged to be born on October 1, some years before Nigeria’s independence., she said, “When I knew that I was born on October 1, I was overwhelmed and happy even though by the year 1960, I was in primary school. I remember that I saw the late Obafemi Awolowo with the Nigerian flag. I and my classmates, our teacher and headmaster all lined up on the road waving in high spirits.

“As a child, I was very excited that it fell on my birthday. I’m sure God knew why he brought me to the world on October 1. That explains why I am always concerned about everything about the nation. It is really one of my most beautiful memories about the nation. I pray God gives us a day like that again to celebrate as a nation.”

Are also stated that she wished God could use her to bring back the good old days in the country and bring succour to its citizens. She said, “I wish the nation would experience the kind of joy we had when we gained independence. Those days, there were no killings, kidnappings, cultism and other vices.
