A tale was told of a beautiful land, flowing with streams and rivers of joy with farmlands cultivated for food.
Families filled with grandparents, mothers,fathers,youth,teenagers and children who gathered to eat and share what God has blessed them with.
Suddenly! ...

Tragedy, fathers who where meant to protect their families were killed leaving their children vulnerable and making young mothers and wives widows.
The youth who were meant to lead are going into crime forgetting the core values of the land!
Our once beautiful land has be desecrated with the blood of innocent victims crying out loud for vengeance.
With Boko Haram in the North...

Our playgrounds are empty because our children are sad and weeping over the death of our loved ones..........
Our farmlands are in Ruins not because we don't know how to farm but because security is no longer assured.....

Our beautiful Streams where we learned how to swim and watch the sunset is now filled with security personnel because it is no longer safe....
Our major roads now have infinity road bumps because we no longer trust ourselves!

Why Nigeria!?
What did we do to deserve this!?
why are we killing ourselves by ourselves!?
why are others celebrating and we are mourning?
I cry because our once beautiful land is becoming ugly, bitter and filled with the blood of the innocent!
I cry because out land is no longer safe for our children and our visitors..
I cry because our leaders are too self-fish to notice
the pain, Hunger and hardship her citizens Citizens are going through.

Nigeria Arise!
It's time to take your place!
How long will it take?,
Which Way Nigeria?
