Dear Nigerians,
In this
season of lettered thoughts,
let us draw
inspiration from the men of letters.
Could it be,
they forewarn of days such as these?
We started
on this ‘Long Walk To Freedom’ as a
nation,
until we
find ourselves on ‘The Famished Road’.
From that
point, we have been ‘No Longer At Ease’.
Then came
the season of ‘So Long a Letter’.
Much like a
script from ‘An African Night
Entertainment’.
Missiles were
launched in the guise of missives.
But
sincerely, do we need ‘The Interpreters’
when we can see
‘Things
Fall
Apart’?
Nigerians,
‘We
Must Set Forth At Dawn’
to rid our country of yet another
‘Accidental Public Servant’.
So it won’t
be said of Nigeria someday soon...
‘There Was a Country’.
