The Public Series: I Am No Saint

I Am No Saint https://nairametrics.com/2021/01/14/nigerias-total-public-debt-rises-to-n32-2-trillion-84-57-billion-as-at-september-2020/ Disgusted by how they acted in public, We advised them privately - devoid of optics. Had to be the bigger person. But should I stay big? Look around. What do you see? If you relish my destruction, do not expect gentle scolds. I am no saint. Some screamed in public view, still no change. Sweet words and soft pokes ushered cages. Had to be the bigger person. But should I stay big? Look around. What do you see? If you plan to be subjective, do not expect me to be objective. I am no saint. By Sylvanus Nabena Twitter: @slynabena

How do we break free? How do we grow? How do we transcend this now and glow o? Basic things are ignored. They’re losing easy grounds. So, we’re free-falling, sinking to a place of no sensation. Choices must be made; the right action must be taken. So, we know right now, prĂ©sent we would have done our all and all. How do you break free? How do you grow?

Now, Wake

Now, Wake Nothing is working. Nothing will ever work. Horrible leaders, they are thieves - no good. Security agencies nko? They worst - nuisance. Catalysing what most of us now know first-hand. Pain. Nested chains of pain, raining hail, doom and gloom. I curse all of them. Let the country just split. At the snap of my fingers, SLEEP! Let go! All you hear from now, believe. Run wild. I agree, we are not yet there. But believe. Stay firm. Just put in your best. And pass the message on. I paint the best cards. I show the real deal. Cos what you see is what will be one day. Now, WAKE! Nothing is working. Nothing will ever work. Na to jewe commot naim be the surest way. No matter what you do gravity go pull you down. Even if you fake the smile, ulcer go hold on tight. Haba abeg start being real and don’t feed me crap. My path has been sealed with undiluted hate. At the snap of my fingers, SLEEP! Let go! Why you forgotten all my words? Rapide. So quick...
