HOW FAR HAVE WILL GONE AFTER INDEPENDENCE?

Who would have thought so long ago
After the independence many years had come and gone
And still we are still living life and let's live abi
Are will really living or merely existing
Chasing an empty shadow within
That cannot stand up erect by itself.

We still depend on lining an object to stand
To gain our stamina and we carried on with life
Just as nothing has happened these past years
After independent will are stilling in yesteryears of life
With nothing to recon to how far we have gone
Between that time and this time.

Have we gone from dependency?
To a nation whose dependency is on her own
Or are we still chasing what we shouldn’t chase
How far consumables are we producing
What we consume back at home or still importing
Our far our gross domestic product is going up or sliding into inflation.

As the citizens is accustomed to suffering
Our leaders are our problems
As they have so been intoxicated and drunk with power
So after their own self looting of the nation’s treasury
Inflicting untold suffering on the masses
The same masses that voted them into power.

How far have will gone after independence?
Are will still seeing the nation doing well
Or still running from this meeting to that meeting
Borrowing money enslave the whole citizens
Into generational debt servicing all in the name of developing our country.

AT WHAT POINT?!

Where did we miss it all
Where did we lose it all
Where did we polarise our convenient
For what shouldn't be and yet we move on
At What Point?

Who is inflicting us
With all these hardships and suffering
Is it just the man in power
Or we ourselves are the one
Doing ourself each one towards the other

Is so drunk with corruption
That our conscience never pricks us anymore
We've lost it that which makes us human
The heart for humanity and fellow countrymen and women.

Each day
Each moment
Corruption will keep shouting
Yet corruption fails to take it leave
If not it should take a French leave

But no
I wish our founding fathers are alive
Religion on the other enslaves more people
Our leaders have turned the nation
To an entitled heritage

And yet we keeping
Leaping like a laper on one foot
As we cry out on an hungry stomach
chanting the course of our nation
Yet we are still under the curse of corrupt leadership

Who did this to us?
Where did we miss it?
Where and how did we get to this point?

Which way Nigeria is heading to

At what point?!

Everywhere we go just like the MTN slogan
We see nothing less than hunger and hardship
We don't speak the same language anymore
Just like ETISALAT we lost our voice in unity
Our pride is trodden under other nation's feet
We no longer glow with pride anymore just like GLO.

At what point
Do we lose it
Our naira holds no water
No good healthcare system
Hunger ravages the land
Mass explosive rate of unemployment

And now we are heading to the election
To go out there and queue for so long
To elect a new leader while the ones
Who has lot the nation's treasures
Still seek for re-election at what point
Do we lost it and come to this point?
