WHAT A NATION!

WHAT A NATION!!!

Not that we came to birth during the wrong time but to the wrong NATION,

A Nation where the leaders turn her dilemma to a means of embezzlement,

Yeah we are locked down but what are we gonna eat??

Yeah we are locked down how are the children gonna learn??

Yeah we are locked down even givers don't have anything to give beggers,

Yes!! Radio lessons for them how many people are aware??

Yes!! social distance is a cure but does that stop us from worships,

Worships that are meant for us to ask the only LISTENER we've got,

To help us find long lasting solutions to this problem,

Is the increasement of the days really the solutions??

The lockdown has turned to something else in our Nation, 

It's far beyond COVID 19 but Hunger 19,

Where are those donations going to? Inside whose pocket? 

It's no longer prevention but a source for their embezzlement,

COVID 19 giving room for corruption 19 and embezzlement 19,

Even the so called isolation centre has been turned to a brothel, 

Whereby the so called victims are sexing each other,

We are complaining about robbery and what are they doing about,

Making it seems to we the citizens does this so called VIRUS really exist in our NATION??

What a NATION!! Where even some citizens are strong believers of apathy as a religion,

Left to me to think about this, I think this is a punishment to them than the so called VIRUS.

Since they and their children are the only one left receiving the punishment,

Or have you heard a case affecting any of the citizens?

Millions of people are starving while the elites are receiving pleasure,

Are we not government of the people, by the people and for the people?

What A Nation! 

Every successful nation attaches more importance to the growth and development to its citizens,

Alas! Reverse seems to be the case in Nigeria,

It is worthy of note that our leaders do not represent us, but their pockets.

They are too extravagant, they lavish our treasuries on white elephant projects.

What A Nation! Where Nigerian leaders do not show concern for the well being of its entire citizenry.

A Nation where corruption has eaten deep into the bone marrow of the society,

Alas! Poverty remains a scourge of society as a threat to the progress and well being of humanity.
