Nigeria Poem by Izuoma Ibe Owunna

Nigeria



Nigeria
My Nigeria
Nigeria mother of great leaders in the heart of Africa
Nigeria our compatriots fought her independence fifty years ago
Not a day goes by without my thoughts for you
You own enough blood but it never circulate around you
It is true you will make it one day
But when is this day?
My beloved Nigeria
Why have you chosen to be a grave?
Your beauty is in the face
While in the heart is decay
Leaders stand in for the led
But how firm do they stand?
Mother Nigeria
I guess it is high time you stood
Stand against your humble erring children
Who knows nothing
But fight among themselves for undue dividends
Propounding laws that will mesh their likes
Sanjo is a good example with his EFCC
Which have nailed his like alams.
If you seek my advice mother
I advice you weed from your heart, Abuja.
May the lord be your guide.
Amen.
