I AM NOT A NIGERIAN

-




How I managed to be a Nigerian I really don't understand. 


How I grew up in such an environment with crazy mindsets, I can't explain. 


How I survived is still a shocker to me because I still find it very difficult to adjust. 


How on earth, is Nigeria a country still baffles me and I just wished it never existed. 


How did we come this far with repressed leaders who are too selfish and insensitive, is a big headache. 


Goosh, will I still have my kids in this kind of environment and oh goodness my survival was a miracle. 


I am not a Nigerian, I chose not to behave like them, think like them and be them. 


It's so sad when you see one million and one things go wrong and when try to fix it you become a target. 


How long do we keep pace with an unworkable system, bad leaders like bad breath, chocking and sniffing you.


They are always out to showoff with the resources of all yet they leave us to burn.


How do you mention it, how proud can you become and how happy are you to be a Nigerian?


The past plays tricks on us , the present look vague, the future isn't guaranteed, yet we hope. 


Miracles seems like it does not exist, hope crawls like snail, dreams dashed in the winds, oh dear country.


Do we still anticipate? 

Was the way out?

Where is the Saviour? 

What is our fate?

How long now?


We are in dark, so clueless without ligths,

The homes we long for seems very far, wished we can draw near, but how?


Am not a Nigerian because I chose to.

The green grass has turned black

The white sheets, red like crimson

The lands are dried like deserts

Where did the waters run to?

Even the air we breath, has been polluted


We have God alone to survive in Nigeria.

It's the right of a man to find the woman and it's the right of the woman to chose the man and that is why when a man finds a woman he asks for her hand in marriage and if she chose him amongst all others she can easily say yes having considering why he is different with the right values to stick to him for life.  To the woman : *Do you know this man.  *Is he someone you can submit to.  *What are the values that makes you stick to him.  *What are his visions and mission in life. . *Dose he have the capacity and sustainability to keep and take care of you and a family.  *Is he a man of integrity and a man of respect, who projects peace and can protect you.  *Does he submit to higher authority and godly authority. *Does he have mentors who supports his vision in life To the man: *Do you know this woman.  *Is she someone you can love.  *Does she project the image of your future.  *Is she someone you can be proud of to present any time.  *Is she submissive to your person.  *Do you

Just almost when i got to the food stuff sellers shop, she also arrived, carrying Agege bread on her head, looking so hagged and hungry. How much is this rice, it looks so fine, the food seller replied her, its 400 per derica, while I was waiting to be attended to, she continued give me one derica, I don't eat rice with stones, I won't be able to eat it, she told the food seller, she buttressed again,  I can't eat rubbish because I don't have money, I left with my items while I pondered on the scene that just played out, the bread seller looks so unkept, probably from the hawking and again very hungry, even though she might not be able to afford the perfect life, but she deserves to eat the best, even if thats not what life has given to her. Many a time, we feel we are better than others because we are in a good position, we feel they don't deserve to get the best things in life, we feel they can't pass the road we have crossed, we feel they don't and can

DONT BE INTIMIDATED

If you understand that life comes in phases, you wont be bothered by what happens around you so keenly So many things are enough to make you feel less a person, when you allow them take hold of you. There are catalyst who propels you to go out of your way to see that things are done or better still satisfy people and contents, yet we also have pressures who forces you to do things out of your will power to satisfy personal self or a greedy community. Be intensional about everything you do, don't allow sentiments of any sort becloud your thoughts. Be accountable for your actions, take responsibilities for them and make sure you avoid every form of explanation to anyone, they are absolutely distractions. Never apologise for your feelings because you were intensional about it, rather make feasible ammends in the situation where you hurt any one. Always remember that life comes with various choices, many will intimidate us, yet a few will give us opportunities to be better of, yet its
