If The President Hears Me by HARUNAEZEKIEL: 12:01am On May 14, 2015
"There is time for everything"
So we learnt
But how long does one thing happen before another appears?
While nature brew mangoes for us
Fate is busy hatching surprises

Gen. Buhari,
When we queued bathing in the sunbeams of saturday 28th
I knew not that you are the one hatching
While i stood, i feared you will fall-off yet again the rungs to Aso Rock
I had suggested you park at Zuma Rock since you insisted you must stay in a rock
But now, Jesus is Lord! you harbour the keys to Aso's gate in your kaftan

Congratulations, General
When you begin tracing your map to Aso Rock
May Uner - my hometown appear in your sketch
I shall send my absence to witness your installation - but do not worry
I shall send too a vial of peppery ginger to spice up Aisha's broth

While you grace our polaroid screens on may 29th...send words to the inhabitants of sambisa
Tell them to offer burnt-offerings of their cocky guns to the worthiness of Allah
Tell them to beat their matchets of brutality into shovels of nation building
Less you wade the path of thorns Jonathan waded
I fear your feet may sore

I pray you to God, dear General
May your wax not melt with speed
May heaven syringe health into your veins
May your foes never live to relish the sincerity of Jonathan's smiles
Salute Osibanjo the pastor VP for me
We shall build churches - amen
Our exiled brethren shall return to merry again
In no distant time you shall sit me in a 360o chair
The type that rotates prof G.C Okechuku Whenever he tells our scores
Congratulations...
