A Poem For Naija~reachout Nigeria! by pearlhapi(f): 8:15am On Oct 01, 2012
He who thinks of nigeria
And only sees sadness,failure and hopelessness
Will end up not making a generation!

Reachout to the children of nigeria
And make an independent adult
Reachout to the youths of nigeria
And create a generation of vibrant succesors
Reachout to the destitute and distabilised
And give life to a hopeless

Nigeria is a failed country many would say
Nigeria is a country with failed leaders
Almost all if not all have said
But to the wise,nigeria as a country does not determine their existence,state of wellbeing or destiny

Some would say,
The land was flowing with milk and honey and bathed in the light of Gods grace
But the itchy palms and greedy hearts have curdled the milk and saddened the honey
And turned the land into desolation

Nigeria O`Nigeria
A lot has been said about you
And I hear you say
O`yea that curseth me by the day noon and bed time
O`yea that has written me off
MY HOPE AND SURVIVAL AS A NATION
Lies in your hands.
Why not stand to build me rather than brood and frown
Why not stand up to keep me rather than write me off?
Was the land of isreal not once desolate and buildeth by one of your fellows?
Reachout to me and make me a great nation worth living in
Reachout to me for I can only
Get Better
NIGERIA SAYS

Nice write up...

But unfortunately, I've given up praying for Nigeria.

This country can never get better.

True...but whenever I read the papers, and see the magnitude of corruption going on in the system, I weep.

Nevertheless, I love your faith...if only our leaders were like you, we'd have nothing to worry about.

Sadly...the reverse is the case.
