WHEN?


WHEN OF A NATION When shall we smile again? When shall tears cease rolling in torrent down our face? When shall the sun smile not but with us? When shall we shutdown masochism? Is this the Nigeria sir Herbert Macauly fought for? When shall justice vanquish brown envelop? When shall we stop drinking from the red cup of corruption? When shall the head be ready to carry the burden of the masses? Is this the Land Dr.Nnamidi Azikwe fought for? When will there be food for all? When will Nigerian's stop sheltering beneath bridges? When shall we stop rag for cloth? When shall we repudiate the policy of the rich becoming richer and the poor becoming poorer? Is this the Nation Chief Obafemi Awolowo Fought for? When will our certificate sit not at home? When will white collar be provided? When will our pension be refunded? When will our democracy speak for us? Is this the country Sir Ahmad Bello fought for? When will our abducted girls return? When shall we value pen than sword? When shall bomb stop threatening our life? When shall we say No to insurgency? Is this the state Sir Earnest Ikoli fought for? When will Mr.Naira be equal to Mr.Dollar? When shall we patronise our local made product? When shall we close the horrible gate of importation? When shall we adopt the policy BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira? When shall we patronise made in Nigeria product? When shall we use our common Sense? Is this the soil James Churchill Vaughan fought for? © Adedamola Quadri Adeniyi All Right Reserved 2016.
