To our fellow country
men and women
Our nation is on a fast lane of sliding deep into bad governance again
And if the needful is not done
We lose it all to corruption for decades to come
The event that evokes the last primaries by political parties
Has to foretell where this nation is heading to come 2023
If the needful is not done on time
To ravage this menace
Which has eaten into the fiber of our existence
As a people, as a nation and as a state
I tell you will lose it forever and it will continue to generation unborn
Money merry go round at this just concluded primaries
And the more primaries to come in days’ time
No one seems to bother as we all seat and watch
With arms folded while some stretch out arms receiving bribe
As its name is been modernized as an incentive gift for delegate
You went for screening and the highest bidder gets the vote
And this continues this can only be done in a nation so weak
Its sovereignty can allow for this act of showmanship
Of waste of the nation’s treasure by the one seated in power
To channel the states revenue allocation and citizens hard earn
Money converted into tax for the betterment
Of the nation well being but alas one single individual
Is really benefiting from these so emceeing him/her self alone
Dollarized primaries its implication for Nigeria's democracy
We are a nation whose practices
Is that of democracy but in the context of it all
Democracy here is a glaring picture of money bags
Chasing the will of people and the people succumbed to it
While we won’t they when they are so hungry
As a hungry man got nothing to say
In such an ill-fated democratic atmosphere if really it is
Where the leaders infected the citizens with hunger
To make them vulnerable to dance to their tune
When the money bag been offer to vote in power those who are not capable
An election isn’t an election when it is not
The will and mind of the people
As democracy implies
If nothing is done will all we plunge this nation with our self-centered motives
Into another years of untold hardship by an incapable leader that will emerge
At the end of the day when the money has gone round and nothing is left to offer
