WHEN THE PERISHABLE FRUITS ARE BEING LEFT UNREFINED:
*Nigeria, a reference point;
*Audu Ogbeh as a symbol.

The news of Audu Ogbeh being sworn in as Distinguished Minister of federal republic of Nigeria by Saraki senior and junior got me lost in thought and this is the litle my mind could mope up:

''Dear Ancestor,
Relieve yourself the trembling.
Hand us the oar,
we sail better.
The drifts you achiev'd for us at sea
is enough to take home.

Give us the mantle and go ashore;
the strength is failing y'all.
Father,
pat us on the back to set sail.
Helm is held better in our hands.
Safe us angst-ridden voyage,
you've come of age
- your body is trembling
and horizon is still far from viewing.
It's a long voyage,
you've taken us no-far.
The future fills with fists.
Your repute as feign gondolier cannot compete
the renewed turning storm.
We need you back home,
watching us sailing through,
after'll
we're all at the coast
to witness your inauspicious start.
