OH!! Nigeria, the home I ought to be proud of, is now a homeless shackle, raided by reptiles and mice.
My faint dreams of a hopeful future are turning dark . All I see is darkness with only a dot of ray, coming from the underworld.
Nigeria! The home of my ancestral root.
Nigeria! The name that beckons my diaspora escaped.
Nigeria! The leprosy on my patched helpless skin.
How I yearn to be gone from thee.
The fiber of my being desires freedom from thy oppressive hands........
Breast meant to feed now poisons her babies.
Laps meant to rock now Ruffles her toddlers.
Who will take my identity for a penny?
Tell the pastor, I need to be delivered of my Nationality.
Ask the diviner what size of goat is required for my cleansing.
Families and friendships torn across multiple continents. Relationships destroyed by emigration. Livelihoods devastated by economic brigandage. Homes lost to deadly violence. National character and culture degraded to unfathomable depths.
All for what? A couple of hundred thousand dollars, a doggy treat and a pat on the head from your oyibo handlers at the US embassy. That's what your whole country was worth to you.
You sold 200 million Africans for mirrors and gin.

We the Edo Star fellows recruited by the Edo state government, under #GovObaseki are In great pain.😭
The government that promised to fully absorb all active Edo Star fellows has failed to fulfil his promise. What would be our fate now? A man's word is his Worth.
