NIGERIA @59

There comes a time when silence
Becomes a big blow of betraying
When betraying has reach its peak
There comes a sober moment
Filled with so much thought leading to some questions

How has life been with us as a nation or statehood?
Are we really what they call us “the Giant of Africa”?
Or we’re just merely grasshoppers in the eyes of the world
What has become the dream of our hero’s past?
Their toils, labours and dream of this great nation

We’ve come thus far from the golden jubilee
We race from 50+ down to becoming 59
Yes! @59 how far, how well have we come thus far?
Its been a night and decades of prolong silence
In chase of emancipation from all that troubleth her as a nation

Has her leaders been able to deliver?
The thought of the hero’s past upon getting independence
Are we truly sincerely free from all what we suffered from?
The hands and chains of the colonial masters coupled with the slave masters
Who caught us as captive along the Badagry sea shores of this great nation

Nigeria@59
Are we living or merely existing?
How long ago did we pass bills
For the betterment of life of a common man on the street
How far our education system? What of the health sector? How far
Few human so selfish looting the country treasury

For us to move this country forward
And achieve the dreams of our founding fathers and mothers
It is all in our hands yes! The leaders have failed…corruption surrounds us
@59 if we continue to go on this road I tell you things will fall apart
@59 If we don’t define what we want we lose it all but we need to fix it.

HOW? 
By working hand in hand to rebuild a better country not just for us,  but for the generations to come.
