DEAR NIGERIA, Hear me Out.

Dear Nigeria,

I'm writing this letter with so much agony, pains, sadness. I'm writing on behalf of my people so please take me serious and act fast. What have i done to deserve all these? I don't want to believe I fought so well for your freedom to make me suffer or are you doing all these to revenge? NIGERIA! Give answers! I need answers because I'm perplexed and sad! Take me back to my former rulers, a place I enjoyed everything as a slave, a place I wasn't scared of death! Insurgency! I'm tired of being a king and don't enjoy benefits! I have blood running through my veins! Do something NIGERIA!!

I fought so hard to give you freedom but yet you treat my people and I as nobody! You give us no reason to thank God / our ancestors / gods about your freedom! My PEOPLE are dying! Do something! Are you really sitting on the rock and watching us perish? My people had the best tribes, cultures, languages, beliefs but what now? It's all gone! You have made us enemies to one another, we aren't free to relate with one another, my people now see themselves as freedom fighters! As Igbos, Yorubas, Hausas and not as NIGERIA! Blame them not because you gave us leaders who aren't capable of holding your territory! 

Did you know my kidnapped sisters aren't back? The Chibok girls aren't back! Do you for once think of where they are? What they do? Who they live with? What they have turned to? Do you? Tell me! Tell me! Tell me Nigeria tell me! So much pains in their houses, families! My innocent people suffer these traumas, their mothers are sick! Their fathers are weak to farm! Their brothers don't have who to see as sisters and little/big wives anymore. We need these girls back Nigeria! We really need to give them "Future" they deserve this because their fore fathers fought for your freedom! #BringBackOurChibokGirls 

Are you now a coward? Are you scared to punish your delegates? Are you not aware of how they embezzle and how they treat my people and I? We don't enjoy the benefits of being citizens! I have lost my fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters all in the name of "HUSTLE". Your leaders are living big while your people are suffering! Is this what you stand for as a country? Is there a country called Nigeria or was it a country? We aren't animals! We need answers! Give us what we deserve or take us back to where we were! I can't take the pains of seeing my people suffer! We deserve better from you. Your delegates send their children abroad to secure a better future for them and yet we have millions of young Nigerians roaming about without hope! Without future! My people are suffering too much! We need a drastic change! Give us change! 

Shame on you dear Nigeria, why produce crude oil and yet your people suffer to get at cheaper rates or even get at all? Why? We kings now live as slaves! We owners now beg to have! We fight to enjoy what we have. We produce this thing and yet queue, fight to have it? Your big leaders don't care about your citizens anymore, they send our oil to fill up their pockets. Do something Nigeria! 

Thank you for destroying one of the best places in my country. You have killed my innocent brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers in BORNO and some states in the north. I have totally lost hope in my home land, I see dead bodies as inspiration to do things I never wish to do! I have no one to run to nor talk to. You watch your people die and feel happy? Oh Nigeria, I regret I'm part of you! I regret the day I agreed to be part of you! You gave me wonderful people, tribes, cultures, beliefs but yet, watch them perish! My innocent people are dying! I no longer wish to sleep and wake anymore because I'm tired of sleeping and waking up to sad news. Take me back or you do something! My people and I are suffering! We have no one to talk to or trust! Take us back to our british rulers!

My people go to school to have a better future and build your country but guess what? Many are jobless! Houseless! Lifeless! They have zero hope! They have no family relatives to run to! Meanwhile, your delegates are living big! Securing a better future for their children and generations to come. Now tell me, is it a crime to believe in you? Didn't my forefathers fight well? I'm clueless, give me answers! My people are suffering! We need job opportunities to earn a living and secure our future. We deserve all of these. 

Nigeria, do you really want to divide yourself? You really want to take me away from my Hausa/Igbo people? I'm Yoruba but these people are my people too! I'm a NIGERIAN not a yoruba man without sense like you! You are a country but act like a child! You were the giant of Africa but have turned to a laughing stock, oh shame on you Nigeria! Shame on the people you appointed as my leaders! People from different tribes are now scared of relating with one another, we no longer see ourselves as one but as different people with different tribes. Shame on what you have imbibed in us as a body. You see why my people don't want you anymore? You have failed us! You have punished us! You have made use curse the day we met you! 

Finally, let me pen this down before my ink runs out because I might not have time nor money to get a new one. Have you heard of BOKO Haram? Shites? Biafra fighters? Do you wish to see these go on? Nigeria! What have you turned yourself into? Have you turned to a beast without feelings? These people have killed my muslim/christians brothers, sisters enough! They no longer care about one another but just self belief/s. Innocent lives are gone! They have taken my people away from me, I have no love but hatred as choice. 

You have failed a young man like me, I have done what I have to do and that's speaking for my people. If you can't take care of me and give me a better life as a patriotic citizen, take me back to before 1960. Let me ask you 

"Where are you headed"?
