This is Nigeria

This is Nigeria This is Nigeria; presidency turns sick leave. This is Nigeria; one-sided democracy. Double standard constitution, everything is dazy. This is Nigeria; police bus be calling crowd. Enter and become cowed. This is Nigeria; best graduating student gets a thousand naira. This is Nigeria; I hope we can differentiate between private and public institutions. Lackadaisical attitudes everywhere, except religion institutions. This is Nigeria; over a year strike in our foremost sector but it's a norm. Corruption; a living form. This is Nigeria; education is dull. This is Nigeria; economy problem is solved by increased school fees. Such government still gets a second term. Madness; it's our liss. This is Nigeria; lot of resources but we still pray for light. Food, security and rights. This is Nigeria; lecturers give grades anyhow. This is Nigeria; Animal is swallowing money. In a government with the main aim of fighting corruption, it's funny. This is Nigeria; politicians changing parties. Playing with our lives like they're titties. Peter Oyebanji (PIRO)
