Nigeria

NIGERIA!

Officially the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is a federal constitutional republic comprising 36 states and its Federal Capital Territory, ABUJA. The country is located in West Africa and shares land borders with the Republic of Benin in the west, Chad and Cameroon in the east, and Niger in the north. Its coast in the south lies on the Gulf of Guinea on the Atlantic Ocean. There are over 500 ethnic groups in Nigeria, of which the three largest are the Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba.

The name Nigeria was taken from the Niger River running through the country. This name was coined by FLORA SHAW, who later married BARON LUGARD, a British colonial administrator, in the late 19th century. The BRITISH colonised Nigeria in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, setting up administrative structures and law while recognizing traditional chiefs. Nigeria became independent in 1960. Several years later, it had civil war as BIAFRA tried to establish independence. Military governments in times of crisis have alternated with democratically elected governments.

Nigeria, known as "the Giant of Africa", is the most populous country in Africa and the seventh most populous country in the world. Nigeria is roughly divided in half between CHRISTIANS, who mostly live in the South and central parts of the country, and MUSLIMS, concentrated mostly in the north. A minority of the population practice traditional and local religions, including the Igbo and Yoruba religions. Its oil reserves have brought great revenues to the country. It is listed among the "Next Eleven" economies. Nigeria is a member of both the Commonwealth of Nations, and the African Union.

The Roman Mobs

We watch as the events were unfolding, 
we watch as the gladiators fight it on, 
we watch, we watch, that's who we are; 
The Roman mobs! 

We cheer to every splash of blood,
we sing their praises and turn them heroes,
That’s who we are; The Roman mobs.

The political elites set the stage,
create the fuss, and be the umpire.
They only call us to watch.
'cos that's who we are; the mobs.

The mobs in their subjective thinking,
Never bother to ask;
Why the commotion? Whose interest?
and who benefits after all?
Just like Roman mobs,
the grains and the spread they share
at the arena as deluded their mind.
The few who do, are called
the traitors or the spoilers.

The few oligarchies never fought 'cos
of the perceived injustice in the land.
They never fought for political correctness.
The casus belli of the rants is 
their interest which is at stake,
to retain and remain relevant in politics.
They live only in politics.

What can the parochial mobs do?
How can they break out of the hell cage?
First, they need to step out of there 
bigotry and religious circle.
The tribal, religious and ethnics argument;
Is a divide and rule tactics of the people
at top echelon to keep the status que.

Heaven help those who help themselves.
Let’s help ourselves.
Let’s break out of this vicious circle.
Let’s the elites feel our hit.
Let’s leave our parochial state thinking
Let’s go into the street!
