Nigeria

I wonder what a country Will be so blessed With rich wildlife, vegetation and poultry Yet it remains so stressed! Naija! My country so rich yet so poor Sitting nicely on the banks of the Benue and Niger! Fastly crawling onto development yet so sure! Full of so much beauty Yet surrounded by thorns. What a sight of pity Left by her colonial master's scorns! You will recover I pray From these distractors who lead you astray!

Until when shall we here of bad things happening around us? Africans destroy their own wealth because of greediness. Good stuff

Your words relate to Africa in general, so I pray too for your country and mine. Hopefully we will all recover soon:) This is an eloquent write, thanks for sharing:)
