Hypocrisy of the Oppressed in Nigeria

Without a wave of mental vacillation or careless ambivalence it is tendentiously apt to say that the oppressor of the oppressed in Nigeria is the oppressed. And the curse of the oppressed in the Nigerian case is the oppressed. I know these seemingly cutting opinion lines may fire up the crimson dander of some Nigerians; whatever be the case, I ask for balanced and disciplined understanding and cogitation. However, objectionable this reasoning may be, the truth wrapped in it cannot be confuted.

Ode to Aquila



I saw you in the rain
You looked so frail
I must heal your pain
But the kids say I must pay

Money, money their demand
But to me it seem like free
Holding you in my hand
Your freedom I guaranty

Your breath was running deep
Your eyes were looking weak
But your stealth, your zeal
They showed on your beak

I’ll keep your in my sink
Watch you while I think
I like the way you wink
It really aids my ink

Am sure to find your feed
Can’t wait to see you fit
Very soon you’ll fly
Oh Aquila, to the sky
