The Almajeris (Ii)

Of them our rulers To the pauperised people. Of a kingdom surrounded By millions of the “Almajeris” . Of looters in power up towers Thinking not to leave forever. Of the Northern cabals With donkey years in power, Of them with the stench of the “Almajeris”. Of the Bush –Pig with the Hyenas on the Rock Of them the gluttons and the greed Of them that devours our resources daily Of them the Southern vultures That condemns us into misery. Of them that worn for millions Toga of millions of poverty . . “Almajeris” Of them the Urchins who Made us suffer amidst bounty. Off them the Predator millionaires, We shall seize power for the millions For the time to wrestle and dazzle To yank off the toga of the “Almajeris” is now. Alayande Stephen. T 1.05pm 22nd of July, 2006 On our way to Kaduna NCP/NCC Meeting Precisely at the one of the garages, we saw it happened NB-The word "Almajeris" is an Hausa Language from Nigeria used for the wretched ,tattered looking young children in the Northern part of Nigeria. Kaduna is a State in Nigeria.
