WHERE I COME FROM: THE FIGHT FOR A BETTER NIGERIA                                                            

Where I come from,
No one cares about your credentials and portfolio; all you need is a controversial claim of your turn to eat the national cake, and the next day you are president.
Where I come from,
Tribe comes first! For how can it be said that I, a proud Yoruba man, voted for an Igbo man instead of my brother even though I can barely feed and have no clue where I’ll lay my head tonight?
I’d rather die than be a pariah!
Where I come from,
On a good day, people buy petrol for 1,200 naira per litre and on a bad day the stations are bare and the tanks empty.
But how can I complain, after all, my brother is president and soon I too shall eat from his benevolence; I know it’s been over a year but don’t worry, it will get better. Very soon Emi l’okan

Where I come from,
A girl goes to bed happy and wakes up just in time to catch her last breath as her predator plunges into her
Where I come from,
The privileged female child is a symbol of victory for those who think they are fighting for her rights.
Where I come from,
Ironically, though born surrounded by opportunities and leverage, the male child seems to be the victim of many unsung battles.
For how shall it be heard of that a man shed a tear?

Where I come from,
The minorities are not the poor.
Rather the minorities are us all, we who shiver at the sight of the men in black who themselves are nothing more than puppets in the hands of the master.
Where I come from,
Thoughts of feeling unwanted and suffocated, which gradually leads to a desperate need for air, are unacceptable; for how shall it be said that a black man is depressed?
Surely that must be the white man’s nonsense
Utter rubbish they say, until that air is taken by force, poison down the throat or jumping off a bridge.

Where I come from,
The youths do not take NO for an answer.
A movement that started as a mere cry of pain turned into a revolution, and although we were shut by being shot, it wasn’t and wouldn’t be the end.
Where I come from,
The youths are daily dusting their passports and fleeing, but do not be fooled,
For although this might seem like cowardice, we shall come back better and stronger to take back our country from the aged hands that so desperately cling to it.

Let it not be said that where I come from, only gloom abounds.
For where I come from,
The sun rises and it also sets.
Where I come from,
A generation of determined hustlers is produced every day.
So, the next time you see us on your front pages, taking your jobs and excelling in all fields; fear not, for there’s more where that came from, and it’s never-ending.

I would love to reminisce further but where I come from,
Such an attitude is deemed unnecessary and talkative.
For where I come from,
The words of males adorned as females and front fighters in the war of promiscuity are devoured happily as opposed to the words a sage.

Well, that’s just my view; now go ahead and drop a comment on something distinct about where you come from. Have a blessed weekend!
