NOTORIETY OF PENNILESS

SAPA: THE NOTORIETY OF PENNILESS Their ambition grew higher, Sapa, blew out of proportion. Their expectations grew higher, Sapa extend its wings. Sapa, the Invincibly diabolical. crippling the capitalist, humbled the miserly, breaking, the annoyingly proud. How art thou ruthless? hysterically, mocking their projections, expectations and pledges. Issued warrant of arrest on the rich , crippled their savings. Or is it not you? who made billionaires feed on crumbs, You! who made Nigerians, a top fan of cassava flakes. Nigerians! unassuming fan of free rides and shuttles, You! who made them trek miles unmoved. Sapa! How art thou Invincibly unpredictable? for you, locked horns with, plenty and made jest of famine, the scorpion who stung the abominable elephant to its death. You! who hits cancerously, carved a beautiful work of art, on their boxers. Is it not you? who hits terribly and hunger, ferociously, redefining and instilling, discipline, and mannerisms in Nigerians. You! who taught Nigerians to serve God, passionately and redeem their tithes. Sapa, the woe of the lascivious. The karma of the indolent. You! who took Nigerians on a voyage, drove them safely to Freetown, where nothing was free. You! who made their eyes pale and financially decisive. Is it not you? who inspired Nigerians to unravel joy in Garri, and agree with predestination. For, they found an haven in regurgitation, a paradise in Kpómò, splashed millions of stash on a castle in the air. Made their beautifully - ugly sandals, a four - wheeled mustang, rooting the books and, crannies of trenches. Happy were they, clasping and clacking. You! who made Nigerians over - night cobblers, and their wears on repeat. Long Live , the great sage.
