My Story of Northern Nigeria
My Story of Nigeria....
Inflation rate high
Regionalism become noxious
Life's expensive in the South
Ritualist in the East
Fraudsters in the West
Poverty in the North
My Story of the North...
Bandit and kidnappers on the highway,
No free road to ride without a raid,
Demand for ransom,
Only with currency,
People's clamored,
government worldless
Media houses turn to medium of segregation,
Social media turn to social division..
My story of North.....
Life without liberty
Sleepless nights to the masses
Gunshot gunned down my neighbor
People becomes prey without prayers
Everyday promises from the army
Solution cease from existence
My Story of North...
Attack to kidnap
Community slaughtered
Blood spill out
Many become homeless
Live lost!!
Job to jobless
Youth traveled beyond the region,
For a greener pastures...
While the region's pastures is parched...
My Story of North
Bloodshed is an everyday affairs,
Everyday Newspapers news saddened..
Attack on the masses,
Houses burn down to ashes
Mass burial in the community
Wives becomes widows
Children becomes orphans
My Story of North
Only few with a voice
Many voice become voiceless
Youth resort to drugs,
Ladies to prostitution..
Parents create hostility within...
Majority dominance, minorities impotence..
Minority tribes divided
No love but hate..
