Giant of Africa with over 200 million inhabitants
From different tribes and races, blessed with abundant natural resources
Yet her people still groan to feed!
Nigeria@60
Though the land is green
Yet her citizen prefer greener pasture abroad
Even at the expense of their lives
Nigeria@60, her citizens silently groan in pain
Smile and hope for a better future looks bleak
Untold hardship and suffering is now a norm in the country
Yet, her helpless citizen succumb
Nigeria @60, the Political landscape still agog with godfatherism
Dictatorship and ethnocentrism
Party difference means no change
Yet democracy is still being preached as largely “Practiced”
Nigeria @60, nowhere is considered safe,
Terrorism, banditry and kidnapping has enveloped her
Without appellation to any security agencies or government that be
Her government looks headlong without solutions in sight
Nigeria @60, Infrastructural deficit still persists
Many major roads causes gridlocks
And some death traps
Despite huge budgets allocated to them
Power still remains in shambles,
She cannot boast of uninterrupted power supply
But boast of supplying power to smaller nations
Living her citizens to alternative power sources
Yet without power
Nigeria @60, being a graduate is no longer celebrated
Unemployment is still on the increase
Leaving many promising youths hopeless:
As devil`s handiwork to perpetrate criminal act: all to make ends meet
Even if the giant of Africa is sleeping,
It is time to wake up
And take her place
Even @60
