Here is a poetry about life and expectations in Nigeria.

BACK TO LIFE'S SCHOOL

Of the things I desired

Money is a jealous dude,

Fame, a mighty prostitute,

Whose order I long after,

Yet, I wasn't satisfied.

Of the things I loved

The beauty of lives mistake,

Tender, fair and cruel,

I never feared its storm,

For I will daily weather it.

Of the things I dreamt of

A better Nigeria as a nation,

Gifts and talent flourishing,

With myriads of helpmates,

And not hurtful leaders with fake-games.
