Ignorance in the face,
Of overwhelming evidence,
Of immediate and pressing danger,
Taking over the area around the Niger;

Choosing to pick teeth,
In colourful filial exposures,
In recline with relaxed ambience,
Belatedly, recorded, expressing untruths;

Fons et origo,
Awash with innocent blood,
Awash in the ashes of thy brethren,
After much negotiated patting on the back;

Your psychedelic reactions,
Beyond lip service,
Beyond insensitivity,
Deserves everything but continuity.
The penchant of the president of Nigeria to EXPRESS SHOCK at every avoidable calamity bedeviling the country has raised concerns across the world.

The ceaseless refrain has angered the populace and diaspora, leading to questions bordering around how the country got to this state of hopelessness in the face of internal and external organised terrorism, banditry, criminal defilement of minors, the aged and senseless ******-**** of young women in recent time.
