Jude Chukwuemeka Muoneke
Poet's note: This is a political poem. It exposes and satires the backwardness of Nigeria has a country. The plights of a common man in Nigeria is nothing to write home about. Nigeria has spent almost six decades, but nothing to show for it. Unemployment mocks her citizens. Our agriculture, electricity and hospitals are in shambles. The poem explores the themes of Hopelessness, Unemployment, bad leadership, Greed and Selfishness, Disunity and Backgroundness.
