To the suffering and unjust killing of his people<br>

Good luck of Nigeria’s time, I hail your star-<br>

~ Bravedave Abisoye Osifeko</p>

How do you feel being ‘a father’ who cannot rescue his kidnapped ‘children’?<br>

What would you feel realising you could have done more after you’ve retired?<br>
~ Princess Okolie</p>

Sun, shine unto the darkest throne,<br>

Thy wary heart wipes not tears,whereupon thy sheep Sit.</p>
<p>If my tears permit, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!<br>
~ Israel Thomas</p>
<p>32.<br>
what is good about luck<br>
mr jona? is it that boko the hungry whale<br>

But not satisfied with your works<br>
You should have brought goodness in truck<br>
Rather than just sit in Aso Rock<br>
~ Adebesin Lekan Ope</p>
<p>38.<br>
what makes criticism “mere”?<br>
the fact that the facts bite without mercy?<br>

because we are a specie now adapted to accepting excuse?<br>
~ Benson David</p>

wisely leads a nation full of hardness,<br>
endures ugly words that’s full of sourness,<br>
and lives with his people in happiness.<br>
~ Ruth Ede</p>

Mr JEG we don’t need sycophancy.<br>
If you can do it, your dwindling deeds are a function of<br>
Your self acclaimed ability as your grey hair speaks of<br>
Your 57 years of bad and good lucks<br>
