IF NIGERIA WAS A BOOK

If Nigeria was a book

If her pages aren't empty
Then her pages would be written with a red ink

She likes to think herself as normal She's not the flashy type

She likes to think herself as normal She's not the flashy type
If Nigeria was a book
Her name might be "Things fall apart"
Or maybe "The blind man and the sea"

If Nigeria was a book
Am wondering if it ll have a foreword/Dedication
Cos she belongs to everybody and belongs to nobody

If Nigeria was a book
Its cover page would be the image of earth
Image of earth before God started creation

If Nigeria was a book
Then the story is far from finished
Its far from ending

If Nigeria was a book
It will be filled with Gothic chapters
Kidnapping, Massacres, Bombings, Herdsmen, and vices

If Nigeria was a book
Then her characters ll be animals
Animals that could swallow money

If Nigeria was a book
If Nigeria was a book
If Nigeria was a book

This is not the same with Jet. Purchasing a jet is like opening a spending account, you need an expert and certified pilot to fly the jet. Pilots are not paid peanuts. Nigerian owners of private jets go for foreign pilots. To pay pilots in dollars cause the church millions of naira  a year. The jet must be certified air worthy meaning regular maintenance by the company that produces the jet ( cost tens of thousands dollars or millions of naira to keep jets air worthy). You need to pay yearly insurance for the jet which costs thousands of dolla
