VARIOUS NIGERIA Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

A typical African country that produces crude oil;
Once a major exporter of some Agricultural products;
A heartily corrupt nation that holds upper hand in religious activities;
A country of heaven’s deposits indebted internationally
to monetary organizations.
That is a Nigeria to the United Nations.


A stable of fellow Nigerians,
Meant to live by designated rules-favorable or not;
Assemblage of heads to support downstream sector deregulation;
A gathering of life to be ‘governed’.
That is a Nigeria to her President.


A conglomerate to be backed by rules;
“A ‘legal-bound’ life is what they have to offer;
These laws are meant to help the people,
Most especially to help them know their ‘rights’;
The people we make laws for”.
That is a Nigeria to some Legislators.


A pond to transact business;
An arena to create (in one’s own power) bunch of employments;
The gatherings of mouths to feed;
A place where business thrives.
That is a Nigeria to a business man.


An array of fools,
That gives anything to cherish deceit;
Givers of money for unknown business;
Desperate set of individuals on ‘fast cash’.


Long as divers people and professions exists,
‘Nigeria’ of various kinds will be,
What you make out of what you have
Is what determines your type of ‘Nigeria’.
No matter how ugly your dissatisfaction is,
People with abundant opulence will always have the ‘good Nigeria’.

You’ve got what it takes to create your choice of Nigeria.
Stop living in another man’s world,
Create your own ‘Nigeria’.
