Hello Nigeria
The phone rang ceaselessly, I swore under my breath seems the operator was asleep
The call was ended and immediately autoredialled, I heard an ignoble voice from the other end
“The operator you have dialed is not available it said”
The number was dialed again and this time it was successful.”Thank goodness I said”




Who has been disturbing my peaceful sleep?
Who doesn’t know when not to disturb a giant?
Don’t you know that giants sleep because of the enormous weight we carry?
Why don’t you call me back later?

Hello Nigeria
You are a but a giant for mouth
Your citizens’ attitude has rubbed off on you
A giant shouldn’t be sleeping at this time
What has happened to you Oh Nigeria?


I feel safe in my sleep
I do not worry about the bloods spilled on me when I’m asleep
I am tired of the incessant rant of the citizens
I am tired of the empty promises of the politicians
Where art thy glorious days Oh Nigeria?
I weep for You Oh Nigeria
You single handedly ended the war in Liberia Oh Nigeria
But a ragtag dwarf group has subdued you in your own home
Boko-Haram has placed you on house arrest Oh Nigeria
Malaysia took their first palm seed from you Oh Nigeria
Still, you depend on crude oil Oh Nigeria
Arise and Shine Oh Nigeria
For your glorious Days have returned
Arise Sleeping giant
For your darkest days are over.
