A Letter to Mr. President
Dear Mr. President, I commend your leadership dexterity and wisdom for signing into law, yesterday and very speedily so, the bill seeking to make us revert to the old national anthem "Nigeria, We Hail Thee" However, it is important that the following few points are urgently brought to your attention so that we do not end up taking residence in self-deception as a country. Mr President Sir, In our churches today, hungry people no longer have the strength to answer "Hallelujah" to the shout of "praise the Lord!" In our mosques, shouting"Allahu Akbar" takes great effort because we are not sure if the imam calling people to pray has eaten well. Because they are hungry, it is difficult for them to keep praying for the same Nigeria others keep destroying. In the same way, a hungry man cannot hail Nigeria. A man who can no longer afford the three square meals, thanks to your unfriendly economic policies, may never be proud to hail Nigeria...
