Where do I start to mutter these words that have impregnated my belly?How do I find my voice and give expression to my thoughts whose potency is being threatened by agents of death and destruction! I have a thousand and one emotions that have swarmed the doorstep of my heart like a legion of bees!On the one hand, my mind is muddled up with a sense of trepidation and I am distraught for the many homes drowning in the pool of sorrow and despair as a result of the plight of my fatherland. It's 2.45am, and my eyes is clouded with tears about to pour down a storm.I wonder what these madmen and specialists in the pub of power have done with my fatherland!I ask you this one question, can you feast on these bowl of tears you serve us without remorse?
You deceive us with your anthem to " Arise O Compatriots" when you are nothing but Con Parrots.
You deceive us with your anthem to " Arise O Compatriots" when you are nothing but Con Parrots! whose words have no meaning and heads lack direction. Now we have heard the call but rather you chose to cull us. You remove the stools for which we stand from under our legs and leave us hanging till we lose our breath. Look yourself in the mirror and see what you have done with our fatherland!For how long will you continue to crush our hopes and dreams. Mind you, we ain't Candy Crush!
Mind you, we ain't Candy Crush!
What you have brought upon yourself is nothing but shame for maiming and brutally killing your own who were left hapless and helpless in a defenseless state. Bring on your worst attributes, there is nothing we haven't seen before!Our spirits can never die. Look at what you've done to patriotic youths who stand upon their watch to run with the vision of a New Nigeria you parrots of doom and gloom. What have you done to them? How come you mete out this deadly and dastardly fate on those whose only weapon is the faith they have for this country! You have cut these beautiful flowers when they started to blossom and flourish. My heart bleeds and my soul cries heavily because I wonder where we have missed it!
Is it a crime to love our fatherland so much that we choose to fight for her rather than take flight from a fight?Is it a crime to desire a life we haven't gotten to enjoy for our unborn generations to have a secured future?Is it a crime to be born a Nigerian?Look at what you have done to our beautiful flag? Do you have no shame?
All you give in return is the thrills you get from your tricks as you lead us to the Abattoir and set us up for slaughter. How can we live our best lives under this horrific and horrendous circumstances. My mind is troubled and hunted by the horrors that have engulfed this land like a Vatican conclave.Today I am a year older, yet I feel like a walking ghost. This year, I do not think if myself! What is Cake? Birthday or National? When my tooth aches from the crumbs we've been fed for generations. Since when did the definition of leadership change to suppression, oppression and manipulations! Since when did leadership mean your needs come first before ours!Am not surprised! This is what it means when a country has been turned to a cunt-ry. You made the clarion call and we choose to obey, you asked us to defend your unity when you seek to divide us.You have indeed failed with your callous and beastly betrayal. You are already killing our body but our spirits will never be quenched! You can only kill our body but you cannot kill our soul.We will always live on in the hearts and minds of those who matter!
The more you kill us, the stronger our spirit gets!For our heroes present who now reside in the pantheon of history and posterity, we carry them in our hearts and they live on in our memories.That is a truth your warped minds can never process nor grasp! You can't kill us all and even if you do, in your greed, you'll begin to pick fights with yourselves. Without us you cannot survive, without us, your future becomes an illusion. What is a future when you extinguish it in your present? Our eyes is opened to the fight that has begun. Now it's not the time to begone. Our sight will not be blinded for we know of a truth that we do not debate flesh and blood when we know a war has started! Till we will fight till our victory is sure against the principalities, powers, rulers of darkness of this world who camouflage in the mask of deceit and destruction.Here is my heart cry to my heavenly Father! You are the Mighty Man in Battle!We hand over this fight to you! We humble ourselves before you and pray.
We plead for your mercy in a time like this. Forgive us all our iniquities,deliver us from these taskmasters who molest and oppress us. Walk through this land to heal and restore us. This is the home you have positioned us in; where our purpose lies! Please we plead father for if the territories you have positioned us to conquer are destroyed, what is there to conquer! Therefore we will not give up and watch our Nation fall into pieces. Prince of Peace, you are the one who silences the storms and subdues raging seas. Here is our heart cry upon this land! That your unflinching and unfailing presence will overwhelm the affairs of this land. To inflict and afflict with resounding judgement on those who mean us harm.We ask that you take center stage in this defining battle of our history! May our land not become a wasteland for we have nowhere else to call home. I pray in the days, month and years to come, may our pains give way to healing... My heart still bleeds!
