Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Poetic Thought

Sirs, it is indeed a circle of anarchy. One fact which we refuse to admit is that Nigeria is overwhelmed by internal and external saboteurs. People wonder where arms and bandits are coming from when we are surrounded by failed states. Everybody is celebrating every blow on Nigeria and blaming it on Buhari. No research has thrown up how corruption us fighting back viciously and how election users are funding insurgency all over the nation. The Presidency is not helping matters by not naming the identified sponsors of insurgencies. Everybody appears victorious that they prophesied that Nigeria cannot work. 

To all of us, the situation is confronting us. We must change our narratives from ethnic and religious profiling to nationalist perspectives. Let it be said that intellectuals stood apart from social media hypes and manipulations. It is not too late. Those who will profiteer from a balkanized Nigeria are already increasing their stakes in the disintegration agenda. Those who are championing ethnic independence are also preparing hard for the 2023 elections. Imagine that!!!Help us to stop the manipulations and the discordant historical tunes about ethnic dominations. The diagnosis of the Nigerian problem is already exhausted. The narratives must change. We cannot restructure in a state of anomie. I urge that those who have choices should help us with no choices.

Kill some known gun men
And disappear
To unknown locations.

Some known gun men
Unleash anger on us
And kill some of us,
Victims of unscrupulous leaders.

The circle of anarchy
Rotates.
