Listen to me oh ye Nigerians as I tell you tales that will make your fragile heart weep at the same time, smile.
Listen to me when I tell you my country is full of people who are drunk with religion and tribalism.
Listen to me when I tell you there are many who haven't eaten today, yet they waste their time on the internet.
Listen to me when I tell you many nigerians are foolish because they're mentally lazy.
Listen to me when I tell you that the quote: "if you want to punish a Nigerian, give him a hard copy book to read", is true!.
Listen to me when I tell you just because you can read, doesn't mean you understand/comprehend what you read.
Listen to me when I tell you going to school and obtaining a degree doesn't mean you're educated.
Listen to me when I tell you there's a big difference between being educated and being enlightened.
Listen to me when I tell you I live in a country where corruption is a virtue and honesty is a vice.
Listen to me when I tell you because you have money, doesn't mean you're rich.
Listen to me when I tell you our politicians understand the basic thinking of a Nigerian because they know what pettiness is because they themselves, are petty.
Listen to me when I tell you Nigeria might be the only country, where a voter sell his vote for two cups of rice.
Listen to me when I tell you my country men hardly follow the advice of Proverbs 6 verse 6.
Listen to me when I tell you nepotism is as favourable as going to church on Sunday morning.
Listen to when I tell you that you might not be as different as former president Jonathan and President Buhari.
Listen to me when I tell you that you might be the next millionaire, in the twinkle of an eye, as long as you live in Nigeria.
Listen to me when I tell you "Nigeria is the giant of Africa" is a poetic device call irony.
Listen to me when I tell you you're getting tired of reading me say listen to me.
Listen to me when I tell you, you want me to stop saying listen to me because you might be getting angry.
Listen to me when I tell you you have no choice than to listen to me because you want to know how this poem listen to me will end.
Listen to me when I tell you I'm just getting started.
Listen to me when I tell you Seun is behaving like a classic capitalist: sacrificing intellect at the expense of buffoonery, as long as his bank account keeps smirking.
Listen to me when I tell you Nairaland reflects the thinking of the average nigerian: it is petty, weak, un intelligent, appalling and at the same time, beautiful.
Listen to me when I tell you only in Nairaland, will you read a person leave his business just to campaign for Miss Nairaland.
Listen to me when I tell you only in Nairaland, will you read a person claim to be a mullato, when in fact, they're blacker than the blackest coal mined from the deepest mine in Enugu.
Listen to me when I tell you I will name great minds in Nairaland, not the mind of that mindless mynd who last 44 seconds inside the opposite mind, but the minds of great minds like Postmann, Lezz, Ishilove, TheSonOfMark, Crackhaus, musicwriter, hahn, creamish, joseph1013 and the mind of fellow minds who mind the mind of other minds and impact great mind in them.
Listen to me when I tell you lalasticlala doesn't really like snakes, he's just following the instruction of 'Oga Boss'.
Listen to me when I tell you just because you have eyes and you can see, doesn't mean you can see.
Listen to me when I tell you just because you have eyes, and you can see, doesn't mean a blind man can't see better than you.
Listen to me when I tell you since you've been listening to me, the words listen to me is echoing in your mind.
Listen to me when I tell you since you've been listening to me, you know I speak the truth.
Listen to me when I tell you the words 'listen to me' is a poetic device call repetition.
Listen to me when I tell you the poetic device Repetition, is a powerful poetic device, that's why it's echoing in your mind.
Listen to me when I tell you this poem, is greatly inspired by Mutabaruka's 'Dis Poem'.

Beautiful, Joseph. We're going to add 'social critic' to your list of titles very soon. One thing, though. I think satires lose their gripping power when the authors name them as satires, and the audience know what to expect even before they start reading. Lol |
