A Cry Between The Lines. - by Yahweh's Delight ✨❤️‍🔥

Arise, o compatriots.‎Nigeria's call obey.‎But which call are we obeying?‎The call of bribery and corruption?‎Where billions and millions of naira goes missing without anyone to account for it?‎A call of what, when even the EFCC is now an institute for coloured uniform with printed eagle on it and they're no longer trusted?‎A call of what, when the presidency is going on vacations and the blood of innocent citizens are now used to paint their doorsteps?‎‎To serve our fatherland,‎With love, and strength and faith.‎How can we serve our fatherland when we've been turned to slaves by our own brothers and sisters in power?‎How can we serve our fatherland when we treat ourselves like sojourners in a foreign land?‎What love are we talking about if my brother raises a machete or points an AK-47 towards me?‎Where do we get this strength from if my sisters cannot eat a three square meal? What strength are we talking about if at the end of the day my neighbor who happens to be a doctor works around the clock and is paid peanut or nothing at all?‎Withheld salaries. Unnecessary taxes. Those In power openly have a feast and gives us crumbs or nothing at all.‎‎The labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain.‎I can imagine the frown on Prof. Dora Nkem Akunyili when she sees how the National Agency For Food And Drug Administration And Control (NAFDAC) now functions.‎Mr Nnamdi Azikiwe's face twisted in that of disgust with how politics have turned into a game of who can spill the most blood and swallow the most money.‎Or is it Sir A. Tafawa Balewa who was one of the pioneer of our independence and freedom from our oppressors. The disapproving shake of his head when he'd realize that we've become captives in our own land and the captors are our own people? ‎‎To serve with heart and might.‎One nation bound in freedom, peace and unity. ‎How do we serve if the wrinkled men and women in power won't hand over the baton?‎How do we serve when the economy is not stable and almost everyone is not sure where to invest their time and talents?‎How do we serve when schools are no longer safe and have become the easiest target for terrorist?‎How do we serve after everything it's "All work and no pay"?‎One nation bound in freedom, peace and unity.‎It's gotten to the point where fighting for our rights has become a prison sentence. ‎So you mean to tell me if the government or whomever that is in power is being counterfactual I can't voice it out and if I do my next home is behind bars or six feet under?‎I don't want to be in a country were every word spoken by those in power, those who govern us are LOUD EMPTY PROMISES. ‎‎Nigeria we hail thee,‎Our own dear native land.‎Though tribes and tongues may differ,‎In brotherhood we stand.‎The foundation of this brotherhood keeps shaking every now and then. ‎Our brothers from Kebbi state are killing their brothers from Kastina state without any feeling of remorse.‎The youths of Ekpoma community are not at rest.‎The Igbos and Hausa are holding a stupid grudge.‎Our siblings from the middlebelt keep fighting over lands. Is this brotherhood not meant for us again?‎‎Nigerians all, are proud to serve,‎Our sovereign motherland.‎Yeah, they're proud.‎They're proud to leave this country in search for a greener pasture and at the end of the day, many of them won't find it.‎I guess they're proud that's why they went on strike. The teachers, now the doctors and very soon the politicians? Lol.‎Maybe they're proud to be sleeping in the forest and waiting for their next kill. ‎Our motherland is starting to look like a murder land. Anyone kills and goes scot-free. ‎Maybe we're proud that's why we sometimes have to cover our faces when the only report most foreigners hear about us are never good. Yeah we're proud.‎‎Our flag shall be a symbol that truth and justice reign.‎Truth and justice reign but the judicial system of the country has become a chess board where any 'big man' can play and laugh it off over expensive beers and dreggy money.‎Truth and justice reign but fifty-two students were arrested for protesting for their rights?‎‎In peace and battle honour'd‎And this we count as gain.‎But all our cries are in vain.‎The only ones gaining from this are the ones in power. Who eat their cakes and have it. Never satisfied until the land is stained with innocent civilians blood.‎‎To hand on to our children ‎A banner without stain.‎It's stained already. It's stained by greed, bribery and corruption, political dramas, terrorist passing freely through military checkpoints, embezzlement, lack of accountability and the tears and blood of the masses. ‎I tell you, the only way to get a banner without stain is if we get rid of what's causing the stain. ‎‎Loud empty promises. Shunned for just five thousand naira. Is that what we're worth in their eyes? Five thousand naira (highest amount to be bribed with) 6-7 yards of material, an Eva or c-way bottle of palm oil or groundnut oil. Is this our worth in their eyes?‎They aren't meant to be blamed sometimes because even we Nigerians are used to 'adapting' to any situation they want us to be in.‎‎No more subsidy, we adapted.‎Fuel hike, we adapted.‎Change of National Anthem, we adapted.‎Now new tax laws, we've adapted. ‎We've become so used to adaptation that anything goes. A little opposition here and there and later on we adapt. They know us already...they know after a while of yapping we'd adapt, they're familiar with our ways of adaptation.‎‎I guess at the end of the day, both parties are at fault for all this. Yeah? ‎‎‎
