1. #NIGERIA  IS NOT FORGOTTEN

Ohh my Nigeria
I pray for you
I dream of you
I haven’t forgotten the land of my youth, fertility and wealth
I  left you during the20th century
Salaries were three months overdue
Education was not free, still not free
I haven’t forgotten the land of my forefathers, culture and tradition
I once saw you in glory
 Before that cloud of Biafra War broke you
Leaving the ugly spirits of poverty, greed and disunity
I haven’t forgotten the land of my upbringing, family and memories
I once enjoyed electricity and water
Before corruption turned these to darkness and dryness
Artificial blackout and drought
I haven’t forgotten the land of my dreams, desires and devotions
I once enjoyed good roads
Before corruption turned them to death gullies
Untarred bumpy roads and hours of holdup
I haven’t forgotten the land of my garden, farms and neighbours
I left when you had become destitute
Daily living and feeding a struggle
You couldn’t feed, clothe or care for your own
I haven’t forgotten the land of my dogs, cats and chickens
In the dark years of lack
You broke me on every side
It was hard watching family famishing
I learnt to beg, borrow and be brave
I haven’t forgotten the land of my hope, my desires and prayers
You bred thugs, occultists, rogues and murderers
In your chaotic system
 I couldn’t bear the hatred, disunity  and discouragement
I had to flee to a haven of safety
I haven’t forgotten the land of my faith created by God
I still think of you in my thoughts
I still remember you in my memory
I still love you in my heart
I still pray for you
