How long must we wait?

REPORIENTATION

How long must we wait?


How long are we going to wait till our clouds fully form and the rain of justice begins to fall? How long shall we endure the silence of barren soil while the seed of a new nation fights for breath beneath it? How long are we going to wait till our political prophets' perfect prophecies come into reality?


My hands tremble. My soul tremors, not from hunger for food, but from the pressure of injustice piled over time. I feel like a disaster waiting to happen, not out of personal anguish, but out of a collective national ache, the accumulative seismic stress caused by men who sit on high, and whose devotion is to their bellies. Into damnation or paradise, how long shall I wait before I erupt!


How long! Comrades, how long!


Life flying away as little birds, each breath of the citizen has been a gamble, lives are being snuffed out of them by the same who sworn to be a shield, the people are being baptised in hot springs of their own blood to cleanse the nation's sin they didn't commit, is this the leadership promised? Why must freedom come with blood baths!


Okay, we believe in the possibility of a new nation. We believe in transformation. We believe in a time when we do not need to trade blood for liberty. But how long must we wait?


Still…even when the Son of Man laid dead in the grave, we believed He shall rise and He rose, even when His promise of coming again still lingers, the saints still hopefully wait for Him.


... and so like the saints, we are more than victims, we are visioners! Though the night tarries, joy comes in the morning. The clouds are gathering, the seed is stirring. How long? Not long, if we rise together in unity and integrity, and if we refuse to give up.

HUMANENESS

  REPORIENTATION HUMANENESS Compassion is the missing piece of the Nigerian puzzle. Who can find it?  A university graduate is employed as a motorcycle rider, HND is become a requirement for gate keeping yet a single human sits on what can feed a million others with his face touching the skies. Ain't that  a very massive madness, when a sole man gobbles the sea sand that can create thousands of employment, into his little stomach? Second-hand goods have taken over every here and there. They have come to stay.  A great number of the  citizens cannot afford new things. Suffering has made this part of the world his dwelling place. We have assigned a royal seat for him. He dines and wines in plenteous just because someone has no compassion. The existence and struggles of others make no sense to him who is not compassionate. People are murdered and ordered out of their homes, properties are taken by force and gun, yet the country is peaceful is what they sing around....

Fanning the Flame into Fire with a Mouthful of Salty Water

    How can I fan into fire, the saturating flame of hope before me? Can a mouth filled with water cause a glow or make a close? How can I save the world, the whole generations of man? Shall I hold the water in my gutter and still speak up my pains?   Who will find a sustainable solution to my dilemma? Shall I change the game and vote a change, saying NO to craze? Who will brighten our hope of a peaceful world? Will he also add some flavor of equity?   The golden rule will do Taking me on a journey; the journey into a “happy ever after” The beginnings of unending smiles and joy unspeakable I forgot the salinity of my pride and swallowed it up Making a run way for my organic bellow to perform its voluntary duty   Glowing hope is all my optical heart can courier; trailing the smoke of care Hope of a better living in an expensive world of love, I recognized Eureka! The song of discovery I could not jettison but ampli...

THE CONFUSED

Image
 REPORIENTATION THE CONFUSED He knows not a bit about the contestants. She knows almost nothing about the current. He's not even aware of when it's taking place. Who else is planning not to cast a vote if not you? The most confused honourable citizen, what will you vote when you know not the candidates, the lantern or the star? You are surely planning to vote poverty and extreme  hardship with your ignorance. You are 'kuku' doing well since whoever wins the elections is nothing similar to your business. Continue dragging us into the muds. Oh, you want to sit and chant a better life for all! Your noise will go a bit  beyond your doors. Chants without actions is nothing better than a  noise. Our voice cum actions will save our nation from the well without water in which we reside.  Your voter's card is not an ID. Do well and do good never to confuse its    great use for what you think it is. Exercise your franchise in this rescue mission and let's save o...
