NOW THAT WE ARE SIXTY

Now that we are sixty
I wish I find answers to some questions

Now that we are sixty
Will unity still be an aspiration?

Now that we are sixty
Will school still be different from education?

Now that we are sixty
Will godfatherism still be part of election?

Now that we are sixty
Will discrimination still be part of religion?

Now that we are sixty
Will freedom of speech still be part of restriction?

Now that we are sixty
Will national cake still be only for special population?

Now that we really sixty
Will independence still be only for celebration?

O. N. Justice ✍️

Author's note:
Most countries celebrate their independence rejoicing and sharing beautiful photos of celebration, but all I have to share is a poem and a graphics. Yes, that's how it is here in my country. We don't celebrate cause we do not have what it takes to celebrate aside the grace of God upon us. I'm not here to shame my country but to let you know we are still waiting for the grace of God and long suffering for a better tomorrow. Our leaders are not to blame, neither are the individuals. Truth be told, we all have a part to place in the plight we found ourselves today.
Happy Independence, Nigeria!
