Africa recently celebrated its 49th year of independence. They celebrated this milestone in New York City with a massive parade. Leading this parade was Nigeria's Consul General, famous WWW wrestler All African, and Ibrahim Auwalu who is the Chief Chika Okpala. Nigeria gained its independence in 1960 when it was a British colony. It first became a republic in 1963, and since then it has had numerous switched between civilian governance and military coups.

I think this is great, and it shows how well Africa is coming along. It shows the progress Africa is making to become known as a civilized and extremely cultural society. Instead of what it is currently known as a poor nation where there is uncivilized behavior and murderous conduct.

These two articles both contain a lot of information on Nigeria's 49th independence. Although, the African Events article had about 15 pictures of the entire parade, showing the magnitude that it was at. Whereas the Max Siollun's Website article has only one picture of actually Africa instead of being of the parade. It also focused much more on the actual independence than on the parade that took place in New York. These are both good sources in my mind because they are often used as information sources for hundred or even thousands of people across the world.
