We Can Co-exist

-
Decades ago we spearheaded the fight for your freedom In the spirit of Africanism.
We used to be fellow Compatriots
Until you turned your back against us. You accused our men of dominating your land But how did we become strangers?

Yes, we are unapologetically NIGERIANS
Mother Earth blessed us with the ability to thrive on every soil.
How then are we to be blamed for that?
Historical Amnesia seems to have taken over you
How our fathers gave you shelter during apartheid.
The land we strived to save has put us in strife today.

Remember; Hate is such a stupid concept
Hating people of the same shade is as hating yourself.
While you chant Xenophobia
We chant Thantophobia
We are peacemakers
We are Nigerians.
Say NO to war

Stay healthy in every aspect, most importantly, your relationship or love life because it coordinates the other aspects of ones life one way or the other. Remember, Being healthy is impo rtant .

Dark Night

No Stars shinning No Moon to give a little vision The silence in the surrounding is deafening The calmness present is like that of the beginning of creation The breeze blowing shows no mercy Often I think I found myself but I am lost to everyone I thought I could move without seeing but I cannot I call for help but all to no avail On and on, I move in the shadow of myself It is a dark night.
