A Poem For Naija~reachout Nigeria! by pearlhapi(f): 8:15am On Oct 01, 2012 |
He who thinks of nigeria And only sees sadness,failure and hopelessness Will end up not making a generation! Reachout to the children of nigeria And make an independent adult Reachout to the youths of nigeria And create a generation of vibrant succesors Reachout to the destitute and distabilised And give life to a hopeless Nigeria is a failed country many would say Nigeria is a country with failed leaders Almost all if not all have said But to the wise,nigeria as a country does not determine their existence,state of wellbeing or destiny Some would say, The land was flowing with milk and honey and bathed in the light of Gods grace But the itchy palms and greedy hearts have curdled the milk and saddened the honey And turned the land into desolation Nigeria O`Nigeria A lot has been said about you And I hear you say O`yea that curseth me by the day noon and bed time O`yea that has written me off MY HOPE AND SURVIVAL AS A NATION Lies in your hands. Why not stand to build me rather than brood and frown Why not stand up to keep me rather than write me off? Was the land of isreal not once desolate and buildeth by one of your fellows? Reachout to me and make me a great nation worth living in Reachout to me for I can only Get Better NIGERIA SAYS 2 Likes |

Nice write up... But unfortunately, I've given up praying for Nigeria. This country can never get better. |

pearl~hapi:True...but whenever I read the papers, and see the magnitude of corruption going on in the system, I weep. Nevertheless, I love your faith...if only our leaders were like you, we'd have nothing to worry about. Sadly...the reverse is the case. |
