Man Dedicates Lovely Poem To Nigerian Unity And Peace - 'I See Myself In My Neighbour'

Nigeria is one big, strong and prosperous family. Nigeria is our home and we see ourselves as brothers, not as people from different ethnic groups and languages.

Our future is bright. The future of Nigeria scare other nations of the world. Our tomorrow send cold shivers down the spines of our enemies, hence the underground fight to divide and make us powerless.

We have so soon forgotten how strong we could be despite our various ethnic diversities and cultural differences. In fact, these make us unique, unique in the world!

Haven seen these beautiful potentials, people like Nnamdi Kanu and his fellow separatist agitators, who are being used by our enemies to perpetrate crimes, incite brothers against brothers, and bring about a state of lawlessness, have delved into action; but this Nigerian intellectual, Sampson Okafor thinks we should be reminded who we are.

And following the heightened tension in the country, especially in the South eastern part of the country, the poem below is meant to calm nerves and bring us back to our senses before it’s late

Please read below:

I See Myself In My Neighbour

I look around me

I see myself

I see myself in my neighbour

I see no Hausa

I see no Igbo

I see no Yoruba

I see no Ibibio

I see no Anang

I see no Fulani

I look around me

I see myself in my neighbour

I love myself in my neighbour

I care for myself in my neighbour

I protect myself in my neighbour

I am protected only when my neighbour is protected

I am wealthy only when my neighbour is wealthy

I prosper only when my neighbour prospers

I live only when my neighbour lives

I worry when my neighbour worries

I suffer when my neighbour suffers

I secure myself only when I secure my neighbour

I look around me

I only see my neighbour
