Talkam

Eehen! Now I wan channel my anger go for another matter wey dey pepper my body the wey Nigeria situation dey pepper me.

As I dey comot this morning, I see one small pikin of about 8 or 9 years dey sell fruits. I ask the little girl why she no go school this morning, her eyelids just lower. She tell me say, "Aunty, I no dey go school". Alarm just ring inside my head griiiiiing griiiiing! What?

Why people dey pleasure themselves in denying children their basic rights? Why people no fit make sacrifices for these little ones?

You parents wey dey born children wey una no fit train, who send you work? Na person give you assignment to born? Those children write you letter say make you bring them come into this world when you no get better plans for them? Abi you hear say na by force say person must born?

You, miserable sympathizers wey dey pretend to care for these children under the guise of guardians or whatever, who send you? When you go carry pikin with the assurance say you go help but as soon as you carry am reach your house, story change. School, mba!, trade, no way! ordinary food nko? Whosai? Them born you born wickedness?

You nko, wey no mind to see children around your neighbourhood wey their future dey threatened either by ignorant adults or outright wicked parents/guardians/strangers? Why you dey keep quiet for such matter? Why you dey turn blind eye when you can move mountain for the sake of those children? How e be you for mind say you get plenty when people around you no get enough; some no even get at all?

As we dey blame government so, e go better if everybody begin give back to him immediate society. Help that family wey no get. Reach out to that helpless person. Look into the eyes of that child. You fit see/hear a silent cry for help. Do something positive make Nigeria better again.

Arise o' compatriots!

AN OPEN LETTER TO PATIENCE FAKA JONATHAN

Dear Patience Faka Jonathan A.K.A. Diaris god o,

How is everything going for you and the rest of the gang in Aso Rock? How is the goat eating the yam in our national yam barn? I hope it does not die of overfeeding or constipation.

I write this letter in response to your statement, "We are not conductors so we don't ask for change". I just want to tell you that in the real sense of it, bus conductors do not ask for CHANGE. It is usually the passengers who ask for CHANGE.

Your husband, Goodluck Jonathan was chosen as the driver to convey Nigerians to their destination; PDP was appointed the conductor; and the Nigerian masses were and are still the passengers. As passengers, we had paid our bus fares in 2011 using the vote currency and now, we are asking, demanding for CHANGE.

Oftentimes, bus conductors do not agree to give the passengers their CHANGE easily (at least not without a fight or exchange of words ). Like the bus conductors we know, PDP does not intend to give us the CHANGE that is due us even when they know this is the right thing to do.

But we the Nigerian Masses (who live without basic amenities; who are unemployed; who do not feel secure at home and in public places; who have been designated as targets for shooting practice etc.) have decided to get our CHANGE from the conductor (PDP and Cabals) BY FIRE BY FORCE.

You see the wind of change has so caught with you that you changed UMBRELLA to UMBLERRA. This is why even you ought to vote for CHANGE.

Thanks for gathering your things as you prepare to quit Aso Rock back to Otuoke or Okrika, the choice is yours.

Yours sincerely,
Ugo, Ugochi Mercy.
(A LEGITIMATE PASSENGER)
