What head comes without history What government without a say We say you are good We say you are bad A head that holds scepter of a state or nation We expect of you to meet our wants in provision: We give up our right to legitimate your existence: We dwell beneath sovereignty of state existence A good government is a messenger that serves citizens In its mind dwells convenient of citizens It provides social amenities like electricity, etc. It protects life, right, property, etc. To the people - You take government the saviour of your state In your mind once the post holds, all problems shall be dealt knowing man is man, having a rang, a limit God himself gives not all our wants Note: not that He cannot give all our wants, but intentionally, He won't.

Your voice speaks for the people, Afolabi. Without good governments people suffer, and then the rich become richer and the poor poorer. Regards // paul
