Phyna argued that there is nothing to celebrate, even on a significant occasion like a national anniversary, because of widespread issues such as hunger, poor infrastructure, and lack of government responsiveness.

She noted that only those who have the means to meet their basic needs, like food, are in a position to celebrate. 

“I feel there is nothing worth celebrating. There is hunger…… na who chop Dey celebrate…… we are 64years old in hardship, hunger, floods, no quality school and roads, no listening to the citizens by the Government. We are 64 and sinking. We are 64 and homeless. We are 64, and nothing Dey sup 

“Like the saying, even an old person can still be unwise. It’s shameful. I rather cover my face than smile today!!!!! Nothing to celebrate in the country.”
