This edition focuses on NIGERIA AT 61: THE DIVERGENT CLAMOURS.
This is to further interrogate the findings of the NOIPolls INDEPENDENCE DAY POLL REPORT
INDEPENDENCE DAY POLL REPORT. (NOIPolls, October 2021).
Two (2) interesting findings from the poll show that:
8 in 10 Nigerians (76 percent), especially in the North-East (93 percent) zone, believe that Nigeria is better as a nation, although a considerable proportion of 24 percent especially from the South-East zone (62 percent) think otherwise.
77 per cent of the respondents disclosed that they are proud to be Nigerians. However, this stance varied across the geo-political zones, where the highest figure was recorded in the North-East (89 percent) and North-West zone (87 percent) and the lowest obtained in the South-East (48 percent) and South-West (67 percent) zones respectively.
