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

Fr. Yesterday at IBETO Junction because he didn't obey the "Sit at home instruction" made by Nnamdi Kanu. He is currently receiving treatment at Nnewi Teaching Hospital due to the heavily sustained injuries during the attack.  Of course we would have protested against this wickedness if it happened in places like Jos, Sokoto, Bauchi, Ibadan, Abieokuta etc. But it happened right here in the East, so no one cares because the Rev. Fr. Actually deserved the beating and assault for not obeying a law posed by bunch of street hookers and ignorant touts.  Are we still talking about taking over this country in 2023? That's act...

As u can see in d picture, they APC excos used their hands to c...
