On 1 October 1960 Nigeria signed its Declaration of Independence in the main boardroom of the Federal Palace Hotel. Meanwhile at the Frontier Hospital in dusty Queenstown, Qaliswa Tose liberated herself in labour, 23 years ago. Simply put in isiXhosa; Ukuzala, kuzolula!
It appears that birds of a feather flock together, this was evident when Cyprus and Tuvalo also declared their freedom from British Colonialists on this day. So please do not be surprised at all the joy the 1st day of October brings; after all it is the Christian Feast Day.
While in this jubilant mode on a pay day Friday, please treat the elderly with a bit more respect as they too celebrate the International Day of Older Persons. Equally so children in Singapore share Children's Day with World Vegetarian day!
This is a mouthful of celebrations to partake in, so opt for the most obvious reason to be happy today,its my happy birthday. Thank God for this!
