A WORD TO A SLEEPING GIANT
By JUSTICE E.


Giant!
Potential giant of my time
You have made the tropics your abode
Abounding in beauty and splendor
You smile through hopelessness
Latent giant of the tropics
I mourn your misfortune.

Giant!
Potential giant of my time
You thrive like a midget in the midst of plenty
Making your home unbearable for her own
Your ward scatter all over the world
Latent giant of the tropics
I decry your hostile nature.

Giant!
Potential giant of my time
Your men on uniform have gone haywire
Begging with arms and ammunition
Armless men are menaced
Latent giant get of the tropics
Rise up and oppress your oppressors.

Giant!
Potential giant of my time
Insecurity reside within your home
Explosion rock the streets
The blood of the innocent stain our hands
Latent giant of the tropics
Wake up with your sword of vengeance.

Giant!
Potential giant of my time
Your politics has maimed many
Your political sword slaughter comrades
With impunity money is stashed beyond our eyes
Latent giant of the tropics
Arise and arrest your oppressors.

Giant!
Potential giant of my time
You are five decades and one
In abundance you fare like a suckling
Hijacking power elections are rigged
Latent giant of the tropics
When will you defend the labour of past heroes?

Giant!
Potential giant of my time
I see hope in your hopelessness
Soaring high like an eagle
You shall rise tomorrow from the dust of today
Latent giant of the tropics
I await your victory parade!

why is everybody not talkin about ASUU strike is already a wik and fucking tired of sitting at home

A nation full of mercy,
A nation full of grace ,
A nation that lingers in the glory of God,
A nation that is located in the God’s heart.

Nigeria, blessing is your name, among nations
Your land is full of many resources (human and otherwise)
Fertile land for farming
You are highly endowed with talents

I am not ashamed and not afraid to a part of you (NIGERIAN)
I am proudly Nigerian
And “unrepentantly Nigerian” (Tunji Oladimeji)

It is another celebration of NIGERIA Independence
And so, if you are part of my village
Please feel at home
As we serve you pounded yam
While you sip peace commanding fresh water.

IRE (Prayer)
Lord, thank you for your love for Nigeria
Thank you for your love will always persist.

Forgive us our sins as a nation and
Re-establish Your will in us.

Every seed of evil doer should be destroy,
Every plant of evil should be uprooted and be casted into fire,
Restore total peace into our land once again,
Give us leaders of your mind and take charge of our nation.

All these and other Good things we ask in JESUS name (amen).



Point of Action

Wish Nigeria well and it shall be well with you,
Do good and advocate for justice in the land,
Stop spreading the virus of bad names(home and abroad),
Don’t be pessimistic, be hopeful and courageous
We shall have new NIGERIA, It is well.

IBILE OMO…,
I care for you, Nigeria.

God bless NIgeria@51

seriously dude, u have to be all negative??I really don't see much to celebrate, but that don't mean ill go around complaining and not counting the few blessings we have,

That's the best poem i think, Nigeria can change their lives with the meditations of this poem, my Nigeria shall live long, AMEN

Those poems dedicated to the 51st Independence day suck! They are like children's works!I am sorry to say that.

Hapi Independent !!! Everywhere. Uhmmm What has Nigeria achieved for the pass 51yrs ? Nothing, except Her Leaders fighting and struggling for their personal pocket to get richer more and more, I don't blame them, Nigerians are to be Blame because we smile in Suffering, I don't celebrate an Independent day,i don't even remember to talk about it. But i celebrate my own pocket when i get more $$$$ @ Hand, NAIJA WAKE WAKE WAKE UP NOW !!!

Yeye people, writing poetry instead of weep and gnashing their teeth at the misfortune of yet another year of indentured servitude under kleptocrats! Keep writing your poetry while your oppressors pop Cristal in Abuja!

^^^^

Instead of mobilising the youths in whatever way they can, to at least do a Tunisia on our despicable leadership, these ones find so much in Nigeria to glory in. Keep it up lads, Bakare called you all fools and i know he was absolutely right. If Dimeji Bankole had written these poems, it would have made a lot of sense to me.
