BE READY TO MAKE SACRICIES, OSIBANJO TELLS NIGERIANS





What more sacrifices do you want from Nigerians?
You increased fuel pump price, we accepted it.
You increased electricity Tariff, we welcomed it.
You increased Dollar rate, we stood by you.
You stopped importation of rice, we did not complain.
You closed the borders to tokumbo cars, we still said OK.
You promised us electricity after the increase, we are yet to see it.
You promised us better economy, we are still expectant.

With all these and more, food items soared high.
Nigerians can no longer feed.
Rice, bread, garri, palm oil and all other food items are gone with the winds.
The roads are gone.
Transportation went to the roof top.
Private sector have relieved workers of their jobs 

States can no longer pay salaries.
People can no longer feed.
People can no longer pay rent.
People can no longer pay school fees.
The civil service has become redundant.
Civil servants have become researchers researching into loan facilities to survive. 
Salaries can no longer sustain homes.
People are begging to feed.
People now commit suicide as quick option to slow death.
What more sacrifice can a people offer to their leaders?
Sacrifice of blood?

Is this not slavery in our own land?
What did we do wrong to deserve this from our leaders?
So many wonderful promises, yet no hope.
I think it is time for the politicians to make sacrifices.

JUST LIKE YESTERDAY





Was it not yesterday I held you in my hand
Walk you down to school and back
You are all grown up now
I couldn't believe you were once my little sister 

Though life is too short to live all our dreams
We always stay close, looking up to God 
Life is fun, exciting and memorable
When spent with love ones 

We are a perfect team, one big family
The rain can't take that away, neither does the sun
Should the world need inquire about you
Who best tells your story but you

Happy Birthday!!!
With Love from your Big Brother

DEAR MR MOON

Happy Children’s Day.





Dear Mr. moon up the sky
How I wonder how you are
Around the stars you always smile
And gave hope to the night

How do you do Mr. moon
Can we be best of friends, me and you?
I am so eager someday to meet you
To have little stars of my own too

Before I go to bed Mr. moon
I have sent a post card of my wishes to you
A hug for my parents, friends at home and school
For all their dreams to come true
