Tuesday's Thoughts

Paradise is a must for we Nigerians, we are like magicians 

No matter how hard it gets, we still jump the hurdles 

We hustle carry burdens and struggles, it's not easy living in this purgatory

The masses are battling poverty, politicians showing off properties 

It's almost a century yet my people are  living in penury 

Nothing seems to be progressing, the masses are vexing 

The police are used to quell protests, they harm the people they are suppose to protect 

The irony is that they suffer more, yet they rather die guarding the door

While the politicians steal more, people drumming for war 

Because they've got dual citizenship, living in Naija is some prison ish

Govt built on extortion, my people die from exhaustion

What are the benefits we enjoy, it looks like it's only morons they employ

You're your own government because you basically provide everything

The government is an entitled dad who did nothing 

But comes back extorting and blackmailing the abandoned child

Who keeps asking for his share because he's filled with so much pride

Political symbiosis you see intellectual cheering for parasites

Who have kept this country in shackles and debts

We practice religions that tells you don't take anything to the afterlife

We still read news of discovery of stash houses were looted cash are kept

Maybe the greed of the political class has to be redefined 

We spend money paying workers in refineries were a drop of oil hasn't been refined

 Nepotism that used to lurk in the shadows now happens in the open

They are quick to dash your hopes when they see us coping

Clerics selling salvation while their congregation are dying of starvation.

The old order have ripped the country so much that they're scared of releasing their grasp

With the monies you hear we've spent every Nigeria should be using flying cars and living in Mars

We only get international recognitions from intellectuals and stars

Everything has been orchestrated to leave the masses frustrated
