Drove home yesterday with tears rolling down my eyes, a very talented young man passed on, just approaching his peak, he ooze of energy and pure talent, uniqueness personified, adding spice and everything nice to the Music industry.
I sat in my car and wept, I wept for him, for his family, I wept for my colleague that got burnt in his house trying to save his family, fire that started as a result of a faulty generator, he survived for a couple of days and died of infections and poor attention, I wept for my safety, for my family, for my country, poor health care facilities, poor emergency response, poor security…..poor everything….
Suddenly I stopped crying, my heart hardened, the pain in my blood shot eyes was visible, the hatred I felt made my skin burn up, it ends now, enough is enough, I am not going to cry no more, I am not going to sit and do nothing, I am not going to say “oh this is Nigeria”, not it is not, we are special, we are blessed, we are good people and we deserve the best, we deserve to be happy, we deserve to live happy in the land of our fathers, but instead we suffer, we thrive, we strain, and we are cursed with leaders that have no concern and take this authority as their birth right, we live under fear and constraint like a shaved polar bear in the arctic we suffer in our own home.
But it isn’t going to be like this anymore cause we have the power to affect our environment, we have the power to make the change we have the power to stop this, you have your vote, you have your voice, you have your space, you have your peers, we have each other and we going to stop this.
For the sake of those that have lost their lives trying to survive in this conditions, Daniel taiwo, Dagrin, Aunty alice, and all the prominent Nigerians that have lost their lives in this fight, we have to vow to make a change, we have the power to pick those we want, the leaders that will serve the people and ensure that we live in our home in safety and happiness…..
No more deaths, no more pain, no more suffering….we tired and it ends now, take a good look around your fancy offices, your mansions and inheritance gotten from the blood of innocent Nigerians, those are your last purchases and merchandise, from now on only those who deserve to be there would be.
