WHAT DO NIGERIANS WANT by Glory D Poet

Too many board meetings
conferences, panels, inaugurations of committees
Grabby sitting on high chairs
feigning patriotism whereas greed motives
is it the air condition that makes you forget the tears of the masses.

we don't forbid going to our houses with our eyes closed
our children going to school without  the fear of abduction
what of the graves you call hospital, ward
where facial expression of staff makes drugs taste like poison
plagued with either short of staff, equipment or medication.


we want to drive on our roads with smiles on our faces
not dungeons of death traps
toll built with tax payers money
yet we pay irrespective of the queue
i need to smoothly iron my dress
he needs something chilled
Nigerians need basic amenities
but if you ask me Nigerians don't want BARTER IN DISGUISE.
