Nigeria Cannot Be One. Poem by Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu

Where will the oneness come from?
Where my state of origin defines my identity and be or not, I will get a job?
When will the oneness come?
When we are all dead and left bone in the grave?
Where will the oneness come from?
Where I am tagged a minority and you a majority?
Where I am crucified for been a christian and you christened terrorist because you are a Muslim or you ridiculed for you are a traditionalist?
How can we be one when only Babaginda's are friends to Dangote's, and Oritejiafor's are only friends to Adebayo's.
And Ejununade's friends to Ejiofor;
When will the oneness be when who stole billion is honourable and who stole hundred is humiliated and jailed?
Why will the oneness be, when some are born to rule and others to follow?
When agberos beat, kill and steal, and then are free because they have one governor or senator or minister or President behind them?
Where injustice reigns
And oppression flourishes,
Segregation growing
Tribalism popularised,
Nepotism culturised
Wickedness flowing at ease?
Where, how, when, why will Nigeria be one?
Nigeria, cannot be one.
At least not now, not in the next a million years.

-Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu (son of man)
