How utterly lacking in mind,
Truly missing the meat of the matter,
Bounced around by emperors of a stupid kind,
Failing to make the lives of subjects any better;

Bickering over nothing,
The critters in power chew up everything,
Turning bare buttocks to the people,
Dripping honey from foul mouths;

When will the people get a living wage?
Because you wage war against the living,
Paying just enough to go and die,
Senseless reprobates, enoying others' agonies;

But keep watch! O ye emperors!
For the day of reckoning cometh,
When your billions cannot save you,
From the same dish you served the oppressed.
The fragmented, factional and fictional disorganised labour of Nigeria have agreed to a minimum wage of N30,000 per month just above $80. In a country where lawmakers steal millions of dollars every month as emoluments and allowances. That country is really a joke and those running their affairs are clowns - and do not even get me talking about the docile, lethargic folks that call themselves the people of Nigeria. Sad.
