{POEM}: NIGER AREA


1960 came and She was born
Mama Africa rejoiced on the birth of Her new son
A son from the place of the sun
The rolls rolled the drum even Hurray wasn't as good as fun
1966 came and came around with a turn
Blood in every Crannies 'Cause the Looks has been couped by the men with the gun
It is true that a thousand men will obey a single gun
Guns don't kill people but people get killed by the gun
1967 came and Biafra was born
They waved the flag that bears half of a rising yellow sun
From nowhere was where the war came from
How can the drummer peacefully play the war drum?
For 3 seasons lasted the beautiful storm
The night had to go 'Cause a new day has come
Peace and Unity had to reform
But the Going wasn't gone
Muritala had to come, They ended his life with the gun and so soon He had to be gone
Oba came and also gave way for Civilians to come
1979 came and Democracy was born
Not to soon again came the men with the gun
Muhammadu came, Ibrahim followed and Ernest was scared of the gun
So He had to run so that Death will make a U-turn
Comes Sanni with the gun
The one who made the masses mourn
The cry of a new dawn
The one that made people cry like a new born
Sanni had to be gone
'Cause Life is Sweet but Death is Fun
Abdulsalam came so that Peace and unity could come
So that the deformed can reform
1999 came and a New Democracy was born
Oba became King, He was given the chair so that the table can turn
There's truth in the air but lies are airborne
They tried to kill bribery but Corruption was born
Oba left without being done
Umaru came, He wrestled with His Life until Death won
Ebele had to come
Just to grab the bull by the horn
He had the Revelation like John
But from Genesis, He has started facing the storm
For the second time, He tried to run
But He had to be gone

Muhammadu came like a booming gun
It is true that Campaign makes the mouth run like a marathon
It is easier said than done
Change the power or power the change; One thing has to be done
He started the fire but He's yet to stop the storm
Hope hopes that Heaven triggers his gun
For He's still on the run

The system is going off and ignorance is going on
Shall we turn and run or turn around the storm ?
How shall we grab the bull by the horn ?
2019 is still to come but before then Redemption need to come...

God bless Niger Area!!!
