Nigerian at 60 independence
**It's absolutely nothing to be happy about** ***Don't shout 'happy Independence' to my ears*** ***For there's nothing happy about the Independence*** ***The dysfunctional laws in the Constitution are not happy;*** ***The rickety roads infested with numberless potholes*** ***And stained with fresh blood of accident victims are not happy;*** ***Even the undervalued Naira plagued by the mismanagement*** ***Of a corrupt and deadbeat economy is not happy!*** Befo***re you shout your fallacious phrase,*** ***Go up North and ask the misplaced citizens,*** ***Living their lives in perpetual dread of terrorism,*** ***If they are happy,*** ***Go down South and ask the sorely marginalized folks,*** ***Tortured by a genocide and jam-packed against their will since the '70,*** ***If they are happy;*** ***Before you shout your fallacious phrase,*** ***Ask the disgruntled parents, whose daughters were carted away*** ***Like cheap goods by brainwashed religious gunmen,*** ***If they are happy;*** ***Ask the bereaved children and widowed wives,*** ***Whose fathers and husbands have been showered with hot bullets from the mindless muzzles of insurgency,*** ***If they are happy;*** ***Before you shout your fallacious phrase,*** ***Ask the innocent youths who are victims of police brutality*** ***If they are happy.....so pathetic*** ***Ask the myriad of ...molested girls whose rapists roam the street scot-free*** ***If they are happy;*** ***Go on, ask the frustrated graduates without worthy employments*** ***If they are really happy*** ***Before you shout your fallacious phrase*** ***Tell me, what's really happy about the Independence***
