Project 60: 60: 60.

By Onochiengwu Obuna Esq

Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Sir Ahmadu Bello, Great Nnamdi Azikiwe

Came together and molded our independence, libration leeway

They came from tribes in Western, in Northern and in Eastern area

Conceived the midwife of birth of Geographical area called Nigeria

They labored hand in hand in one Trinity to put us on the right way

Cocoabean bags swam into and crossed the oceans of Western Region

Groundnut pyramids stood taller than mountains of Northern Region

Bleeding palm trees soaked and watered Wise Planes of Eastern Region

Nigeria stood, soared like eagle above Nations upon tripod agronomy

In our very old glorious buoyant days of agro bouncing economy

Now some say Nigeria is ill fated, ill conceived contraption

That Nigeria is ripe for revolution, restructure, emancipation

Some say Nigeria is now in debt, on death row of failed State

To others Nigeria is richest oil milking corrupt Estate

To others Nigeria is their divine opportunity to rule.

Some say Nigeria is a glorified Zoo for the best fool

To them Nigeria is worse than the worst Animal farm

To some Nigeria is a golden opportunity to hack, harm

Nigeria is deepest at Blue Ocean as into deep blue sea

If you want Nigerian Devilish men of God, you will see.

1 have picked up my fountain pen, fiery mystic fighting pen

To fight for defense of defenseless children, men, women

Butchered or raped by atavistic cowardly Devilish Herdsmen

To fight for those beheaded or shot by useless Gory Bokomen

Moving from the Northern to the Western, to the Eastern Region

Heartless beast who massacre in the name of God or Religion

Devil’s men who destroy priceless hand work of God

Which they waste in thousands and dump in open mud

To be feasted upon by common scavengers and flies

Despite their heart touching pleas and mercy cries.

I have drawn a very mighty fierce battle line

I have given high heavens open coded sign

To rain down Holy Fire, Sulphur and Brimstone

To rain down Holy Fire, Sulphur and Living Stone,

Let Bloodsuckers know no peace as they fight for breath

They must die many times before their violent death

For those who kill defenseless people with AK47

Must surely die most miserable violent death 24:7,

Let Bottomless Pit welcome their condemned souls

Where they are chained in torment in Hell poles.

The lawless who waste the innocent in glee with sword

Are never never true friends of the Almighty God,

We are all equal in the eyes of the laws of the land

And none shall ever be harassed with a wave of hand,

Oh God! You forever in highest Heavens enthroned

Help us have hypocritical violent politicians dethroned

Enthrone upright Leaders as a blessing to our Nation

And grant us permanent and everlasting love solution

In your infinite mercy, grant us real peace and unity

And bind us forever in progress as invisible entity.

We once boasted at United Nations of having excess money

That Nigeria is like Biblical land flowing with milk and honey

That Nigeria is wonderfully and richly blessed by Almighty Allah

But mischief makers gave birth to war, Ijogbon, Nsogbu, Wahalla

We must at all cost eschew another form of BLOODY CIVIL FIGHT

True Muslims and true Christians, all are true children of The LIGHT

We need to restore potent not corrupt and impotent Governments

In all six geopolitical Components for lively and potent developments

We must sincerely co exist as a necessity in our multicultural diversity

At diamond age, Nigeria needs mature economy with political sagacity.
