Showtime

SHOWTIME Holocaust swivelled at the turn of these events, Stimulated by the wrath of a country's vent. Time wasted and extravagantly spent Until the shape of democracy brutally sees a dent? New blockbusters; as periodic protagonist election square-up with the vile villain called selection. INEC is the man in stripes refereeing, (the usual suspect of the nations suffering). Nigeria's centre stage of the world's innocence And the entire globe is the audience. Power is like a baby in demand and divinely sent to be given out to prospective parents. Who will take custody of the most sort after? Watch out for the 2023-26 version of Nigeria, Watch out for court cases and unexpected faces, especially in Aso Rock and Daily front pages. Watch out for interim governance; At the presidential seat, for instance. All in a journey to a better Nigeria, greeted by the eruption of mass hysteria, In fulfilment of God's concealed wisdom. Corruption grips us tightly but we fight for freedom. The labour of our heroes past (and present) shall not be in vain & won't pass but witness the advent of newness purged by bloodbath And tirades of a people's wrath. The late legends: our history book heroes, #EndSars protest young martyrs who caw as crows and the present-day youth revolutionist Shall all eat the fruit of their labour as they enlist in the fight to realise Rebirth & forsook apathy. We the New Nigeria activists are the Labour Party??? And our labour will not be in vain ???? The reign of Old Nigeria will finally wane.
