ECONOMIC HARDSHIP IN MY COUNTRY NIGERIA

Who do we run to when our leader's or do i say rulers no longer care about us

They promised us "CHANGE"

The word "CHANGE" is flying in the air

Our nation is in total ruin

Cost of living is skyrocketing daily

Food is no more affordable nor is it accessible

Our nation is feeling this devastation

Only politicians are well to do

They have forgotten about us

They have forgotten the promise made to us

They never came any close to fulfilling their mandate

 

When l look at our politicians extravagant lifestyles I asked

What about US

What about all the time they said they are the answers

      In my country ,

Those who care to give or share dont have to give or share

    In my country ,

Those who have to give or share, dont want to give or share

 

The masses are kept in the mood of despondency

It seems to many that all hopes are lost

Some after having their last meal, they wait for death to come

While some take their lives either by jumping off the bridges or taking a highly concentrated chemical down their throat .

 

Who will redeem our nation

Who will revive our  economy

Who do we run to when their is no food in the country

Who do we run to when price of fuel is skyrocketing without control

Who do we run to when rent is no more affordable to the masses

Who do we run to when every good thing in our country  can only be accessible to 5% of the country's population

 

Nigeria is our country

It is not for the politicians to take,

Not for the 5% well to do Nigerians to take

Nigeria is for all of us

We love our country

Thats why we are lamenting

We are tired of being victimised in our own country

It is totally unjust and its affecting everyone either financially,  physically,  menally psychologically or otherwise

... How do we get our dream Nigeria
