                           Dear Nigeria,


How are you? Hope all is well?? i believe that's quite senseless a question to ask, seeing as how things are over here.Nigeria, my great nation, my fatherland, why are we not progressing?  I was on a bike one day going to my campus, when a police man flagged down the bike i was on and asked the bike man for money, the bike man of course refused, because lets face it, no one wants to feed another family with his/her hard earned money, they argued for minutes, after the police man understood no money would be given him he asked us to go, just as we were about to ride off he spat at the driver who ducked leaving me with the saliva of an unknown man on my face, why Nigeria?? Why would you do this to not just me but millions out there, till today i feel shame remembering how i could do nothing but wipe the saliva of my face, never had i felt so powerless , so shamed. How's it going Nigeria? Why would you humiliate and not protect your people?? I love you Nigeria but you are not stepping up, i speak for everybody who's been bullied by Nigeria, for every slap from a police man or army man, for every time we have to walk in water waist deep to reach the bank or market because the government doesn't care if a little child is carried away or worse drowned, for every assault on women by men and laughed about it over bottles of beer with the authorities turning a blind eye, for everything Nigeria has done to strip you of your dignity and basic human rights, please i beg never give up on Nigeria, never get fed up, keep on working, every little right gesture counts, the change starts with us, one day like a phoenix Nigeria will rise in Glory. 
Arise o compatriots Nigeria's call obey, long live Nigeria!!! 

Will upload another story soon, hope y'all are still with me. Please drop a comment about what you think, suggestions, ideas, opinions, anything. C'mon help your gal out, make her better. Goodnight darlings live long and prosper!!!!
