Today we raise the green and white high — a tribute to every soldier, every poet, every voice that dared to dream of a free Nigeria. On this sacred day in 1960, our beloved nation broke free from colonial rule and claimed its destiny.

At SmallFace Records, we don’t just celebrate a date — we celebrate resilience. We celebrate the heartbeat of a people bound by hope, by culture, by music, by identity. We honor the legends before us who set the stage for freedom, and we embrace the rising stars who carry the torch forward.

From Lagos to Maiduguri, from the deep forests of the Niger Delta to the Sahel’s edge — diversity is our strength. Let us bind together in unity, love, and purpose. Even as we acknowledge the challenges we face — inequality, division, hardship — today is a reminder that even in struggle, our spirit remains unbroken.

Together, let’s build a Nigeria worthy of the dreams of our founders. Let’s write, produce, create and uplift — for in our art lies our voice.
