Dear Subscriber,

Nigeria turns 64! We hail our dear native land.

Many Nigerians, like us, question what there is to celebrate amidst the challenges we face. Yet, we find strength in the convictions that inspire optimism for a brighter future—convictions that keep us going and bring us joy. From this place of hope, we present this Independence Day edition of FDC Relaxnomiks, inspired by Winston Churchill’s words: “If you’re going through hell, keep going.”

When you’re down, the only way is up, Nigeria. This is why we paused to reflect on the positives, highlighting trailblazing Nigerian inventors like Dr. Onyema Ogbu Agu and recent global icons like Tobi Amusan and Onyinyechi Mark. We also took a nostalgic journey through beloved childhood games like Willie-Willie and Ten-Ten, reminding ourselves that embracing childlike joy has its place in difficult times.

We’ve also included an intriguing section on little-known Nigerian laws. We hope you’ll enjoy flipping through this special edition of Relaxnomiks and testing your knowledge of Nigeria with our Independence Day quiz.

So take a moment to rest, reflect, and perhaps even learn the words of the new national anthem. Start your journey with Relaxnomiks.

Enjoy your read!
