AND SO WHAT? (THE COSTLY NEGLIGENCE)

A couple of intrigues in my Niger area;

I graduated with a 4.99 Cgpa

Society: and so what?

I can invent

I even built a model helicopter out of scrap and the dustbin

Society: and so what?

I am morally upright

I love and keep the laws of my father land

Society: and so what?

I work hard

Earning my money from my daily struggles

Society: and so what?

I shun bribery

I never meddle with corrupt practices

Society: and so what?

As a student I shun exam malpractice

I believe in the genuity of my ability

Society: and so what?

See I want to become a banker, lawyer or an accountant

I want to offer standard services to everyone in the society

Society: and so what?

I hope to take many kids off the streets

Ensure a hope for them and ensure they are educationally fit

Society: and so what?

Even though this terrain is not smiling

una mehn, I am just gonna keep keeping on

Society: and so what?

As a professional athlete I made sure I made my nation proud

I showed the competence and ability of Nigerians

Society: and so what?

I hope to ensure massive social support

Peradventure I rule my Nation I hope to raise many up

Society: and so what?

This is bane in our progress

In the Niger – area

The calamity of not appreciating the ideal

Has thrown us into shambles and bitter ordeals

We need to wake up

MY FATHER

Many framed men Hefty yet without course Many Huge men; many but yet not strong Many Daddies comes handy, yet not really Daddies But you my Father; you are out of this world Of the frame of a house set upon the hill which cannot be hidden A man brimming with daily tenacity Considerable yet wise A custodian of truth not lies Ever seen a structured entity with a structured approach; yeah that’s my Father Relentless as the Eagle strolls the skies for her eaglet in winter and summer Many men may refrain from the cold as a bane; yet in it, you toil, not issuing complain Spent time with you; never really seen your frowning face; still, u didn’t spare the cane Many men there is, yet a Good man is scarce But amongst the few; you aim for the stars @ ½ a century and 1 still bouncing like a boy I am certain you will reap many years in abundant Joy @Bolaji Olaniba (2019)

INHERITED BY AN INHERITANCE!!!

Many a nation bequeath progress to generations; even unborn Many congresses of men, a gathering of purpose and course for development But for one; a gathering of plunderers in disguise of political officials Men who are proceeds of dribbling correct political measures and processes They adorn themselves with Agbadas, saris and suit sitting without purpose in our political suites They receive from the common good, the common struggle, but they will never extend a hand of social brotherhood Today a billion has gone missing, tomorrow a trillion has been kidnapped by the animal kingdom Hmm! Cartoons! Even the unborn clamors en - route; driver! Please, Nigeria not! The infant is in debt even the unborn of the Niger - area; their fathers have fattened themselves with the gains of national good for no good Alas! What driver places his leg on the steering munching goodies while driving millions of people? Surprising? Well that’s the Nigerian reality, the bea...
