NIGERIAN RAGE

Listen Non-Nigerians!!

Stop trying to guess who I am

Stop trying to tell me what I am not

I rock the same brown skin that you’re in

So you have no rights to call me a thing.

I was born into an African home which makes me Nigerian

You cannot imagine the things I have done, talk less of seen

Look, I see right through you

You expert on me with your fake African accent

You expert on me with your fake African mindset

So what your ancestors are Africans

So what you read about us on the internet

That makes you an expert on who I am?

SCREW YOU! What the heck do you know about being Nigerian?

What do you know about all my tribes?

All you do is feel it and say “yeah I feel the vibe”

Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo which one do you know?

All you do us watch me speak my language, and laugh cuz you think it’s a show

Well I don’t blame you, not at all

You haven’t had the experience to slip and fall on hard floor.

What do you know about edikainkong and ila asepo

You don’t know how it feels to use your fingers to eat eba and soup that draws

Maybe you have the experience to use your hand to eat fries

That’s why most of you are obese at the age of 5

Step into my country; let me show you how to enjoy good food

How to savor every kind of food with just a few chews.

How dare you bring your ignorant self before me?

Asking me stupid questions from a-z

“Do you guys have wild animals running around like on TV?

Do you guys walk around naked or have clothes on like you and me?”

You are such a bloody idiot

Why don’t you also ask if In my country, the sun rises and sets

Or maybe you should ask if I am as stupid as you

You make me so mad I just want to slap you.

You don’t know anything about hard work

You sit in your bed, remain on the internet and listen as the clock tics and tocs

Have you ever had the experience to walk on the streets with bread or fruits on your head

Hoping that after the days work, you will be able to sleep in peace in your bed

Well I bet you don’t know anything about that

All you do is complain, open your mouth and speak crap.

What do you know about living without electricity for days

When exams come we do nothing but stare real hard and gaze

We stare and gaze with dim candle lights

We even share this light with our peers and hope we don’t get in a fight.

This is just to name a few

If you have guts come and walk in my shoes

You think it’s easy to just sit and complain

How about for once live in my country for just one day.

For the rest of your life you would appreciate what you got

And after these never step up to me thinking you got guts!

Do you Know HIM?

I wrote this at work tonight, i guess i was bored.
Inspiration-well as i was going to work, i dunno what came over me, i started narrating my story, to myself ofcourse, im sure people thought i had lost it but who cares?? Neehooz, enjoy!

There i was sitting down in the park, minding my own business.

Someone walked up to me and asked me a couple of questions. He said "when last did you thank HIM, when last did you give HIM praise, when last did you call HIS name? I looked puzzled and hen i closed my eyes for about 5 seconds and then opened it, The man had vanished!

Thoughts came running through my mind as i walked out of the park, as i approached the main road, without looking left right or left, the last thing i heard was a loud honk and screeching.

And there it was, the bright light, OH NO! not the bright light. The same man i met at the park appeared again. He repeated those questions he asked me in the beginning "when last did you thank HIM, or praise HIM or call HIS name?

I don't know what you are talking about, he said the reason you are alive today is because of him and you have the audacity to act like you don't know him? HELL FIRE is where you shall perish he yelled. I screamed out loud and said NO! please take me to him, are you him? I am sorry for neglecting you.

I promise, if you give me one more chance, I'll prove to the world that you alone deserve all the Glory. NEVER! he said, you have been given enough chances, I interrupted and said "Who am i that you are mindful of me" he responded saying, you were his child before you decided to do things your own way.

I said i want to meet your father but i cant meet him if i dont go through you, I am sorry.
You sound like you are full of remorse, i will talk to the Father, My father on your behalf and the he vanished!

I closed my eyes again for about 10 seconds and when i opened it, i was back at the park, i dropped down on my knees immediately and started asking HIM for forgiveness. I then drove to church to talk to a pastor who prayed with me and said, welcome to the Kingdom of Your Father, we have waited oh so long for you. I replied and said thank you, i am now here, Take me to see him, the pastor responded and said he is already here....

I am guessing you know the point of this write up, if you don't, i am questioning you, when last did u thank him, or glorify him, or praise him or give him all u have/had...when last did you just recognize his presence??
