SONGS OF A NAIJA MAN

 

 

1. Like toilet papers, politicians treat Naija people

Value-loaded before use, discarded like a useless tool.

 

1. Dumped with ignominy after use

 

Tomorrow, another day, when they will employ another ruse.

 

1. And so, the game continues

Touch and go, go and touch.

 

1. Year in year out, Naija decays

Nobody bothers, everybody is busy, pursuing different ways.

 

1. Engaged fully for personal gains, daily survival

Blind to the pains of one another.

 

1. Until the bell rings again for another election

Another season of seduction.
