Since ''1960'' Poem by Azeezat Saminu (Ariyike Akewi)
Since ''1960''
Fifty-one years of independence!
Fifty-one years of stagnancy!
She's become a merry-go-round,
on a play-ground.
After the so-called executives
're been elected,
from a point she starts,
round, round and round she goes,
returning to her starting point,
after achiveing nothing but,
*IMPOVERISHMENT*.
Gaint of Africa! My foot.
Is it by words or written in books?
Is it by action?
