ZONE POETICA

NIGERIAN CHRONICLES: FORECAST

Peace in Niger Delta

Tranquility in Kano

No erosions in Anambra

Adamawa; meningitis free

Droughtless Sokoto

Lagos minus the bustle

Serenity in Bayelsa

Oyo not missing the terror

A blissful Plateau

An emergent Niger

Religious tolerance in abundance

Food on tables

Money in pockets

Kidnappers; now happy snackers

Corruption; an endangered species

The oil, now for all

A common cause, no more a curse

Our collective till

Now beyond any individual’s kill

Petrol scarcity, an old wives’ tale

Election rigging, in history’s dustbin

The rule of law, no longer an outlaw

A new Nigeria, a land of justice and equal opportunity
