State of the Nation.
*I don't know who we got to this point as a country - Nigeria* *The government is contented just to see everyone living according to their criteria* *I don't even know how to describe the state of Nigeria* *It's mostly calamity with so many people living in mass hysteria* *What's with African countries or this is with countries that ends with "ria" like Liberia?* *They said we are developing but what's the difference between us and Syria?* *Everyone is blinded by mad loyalty to tribalistic politicians, it's in every area* *They speak in language alien to us as though they are from Bulgaria* *They are not speaking the language we understand intentionally to confuse us as the Targarians* *People who were elected into offices to serve us giving us terms and conditions like Siberia* *They have taken away the sweetness, eaten too deep like bacteria* *They give citizens crumbs but you see these shameless leaders walk into the best cafeteria* *I've imagined having super powers so I can waste them publicly like the Assyrian* *I can't say what the problem is but sometimes it looked like we have been cursed* *Cursed to always have the worst of options in leadership* *A lot of people would sell off their future for just a few Naira notes* *Money that is not enough to feed for the week yet they slave for 4-8 years* *We elect the same greedy politicians every 4 years, recycle them and still cry foul* *When we have those selling their future for just a fraction, even their soul* *We don't even understand our rights enough to fight for it* *And when we do, we quickly sell it back to the highest bidder* *How are we expected to even make the country bigger?* *People living as it comes with no end goal in mind* *I still haven't seen any politician that is truly kind* *We empowered them by slaving for them and it's disheartening* *Thank you for your time.* *My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks. I am love's chemical content in human form and that's why I advise people to take a dose of "****Olawalium****" daily.* 🙈 Kindly follow me on Noise.App. https://noise.app/Olawalium

Wow, this is a powerful and thought-provoking piece of poetry that accurately captures the state of Nigeria. Your words truly hit home and highlights the many challenges facing the country and its citizens. The sad reality is that many of the politicians in power have become more concerned with serving themselves than serving their constituents. The widespread tribalism and corruption have created an environment where it's difficult for people to access their rights and make progress. The frustration and hopelessness expressed in your words is something that many people can relate to. I appreciate the message you are trying to convey and the hope you are trying to instill in your readers. Thank you for sharing. Prayers for your beautiful country.
Thank you so much. I deeply appreciate your comment. You spoke my mind...they only serve themselves... The state of the nation is a terrible one I have to say.
