Nigeria @ 60

History

Nigeria, in tenderness
Shrugged from her...
Mother's breast
Weaned in fragileness
Independence bestowed..
On her tender self

In aftermath
Nepotism rocked
Open bigotry...
A culture of the leaders

Nigeria, constitutional democratic
Governed by kakistocracts
Ridden by cycles...
Of old cynics
The nation's chariot
Sinks to the mud
