This Is Nigeria. Poetry Version. by AgiNuelOyi(m): 11:17pm On Feb 03, 2019 |
This is Nigeria Where the sounds of bomb blasts have become the music of the city And the best music group goes to the group: Boko Haram, But each time there perform, lives are lost. Welcome to my country Where bullets are the new birds And spears run through the air Searching for lives to clear. This is Nigeria where the life of a cow Is equivalent to three human lives A place where unqualified people take the leads And because the eligibles have no connections, bow to their bids. Despite all this, the outcome should be good, this is what they yelled. This expectation is more like piercing a knife through a man's chest And expecting him not to bleed. In our hearts, we have allowed hate to breed This is Nigeria Where my poor beautiful sister cannot genuinely say:- "I have not been sexually harassed by my tutor" Why tell me we are equal? When the rich constantly milk the breast of the poor And the poor dry and dehydrate For milk not replaced Why even tell me we are one When I go for a job interview They ask me "what are your qualifications But what is been considered is 'What my religion is' Dearest, Is this not the country our heroes died for? If they were clairvoyant enough To see this coming, We would still be under the colonial rule For no man would want to die for Such a country. Agi Nuel Oyi, ©2018 May.
