SONGS OF A NAIJA MAN

 

 

1.  Naija, great country of noise makers!

Few factories, farms, industries, millions of traders

 

1.  Streets soaked in chaotic noises

Churches choked with mundane songs

 

1.  Seriousness on peoples' minds difficult to detect

In public discourses, and even in private

 

1.  Citizens so concerned with the ephemeral

In every domain, each person wants to be a general

 

1.  Media full of fun, fictions and stories

Not a page or a minute on science

 

1.  Parliaments burdened with selfish problems

Courts cosmetic, governments act unserious

 

1.  If Naija foolishly continues to go like this

I fear, it will sure land in a dangerous ditch

 

Ade. A. Ajakaiye
