MILLIONS MARCH THE MARCH MARCH.

...by Poetic Tee, "Here, take a sip"

So, time does demand a pay
Never thought I'll see the day
Goliath will quiver, shiver with fever of quantum fear
Despite an army, sophisticated weaponry in his lear
Afraid of David standing alone with no drone
Just abundant courage, his sling and a stone.

History is like a broken record, it repeats itself
None can postpone death nor inevitability, shelf
A witch doctor shed blood, engaging in a frenzied dance
Heaven in angry lightening bursts, strikes off his prance
Nation's hope, dared. "O Caeser! Beware, the ides of March!"
When like Lord's locusts airborne, millions of men will march.

A LEADER, A KING & AN OPPORTUNIST



...by Poetic Tee, "Here, take a sip"

12 artists killed
Within 24 hours, France gathered world leaders
Staging a 1 million man march, chanting
"Je suis Charlie!"

1 pilot burnt alive
Within 24 hours, Jordan swiftly retaliated
Hanging 2, launching air strikes against ISIL
"We want them annihilated!"

2000 Bagans massacred
Within 24 hours, Nigeria official claim; ONLY 150!
Over 200 Chibok girls, over 300 days, still counting
"Bring back Jonathan!" instead.
I see a leader
I see a king
I see an opportunist
What audacity!

A NATION'S NEED DARED ‪#‎Limerick‬

...by Poetic Tee, "Here, take a sip".

FeBuhari 14 Elections postponed
They hope the project be abandoned
But who can stop the sun from setting?
Or from the east, block its new rising?
Be patient, for soon the job will be done

HELP HIM (JONATHAN) BY VOTING HIM, OUT! - Lagbaja

...by Tijjani Muhammad Musa

Lagbaja, Nigeria's world renown masked saxophonist having gotten his Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC) and so ready to cast his vote come FeBuhari 14 :) wants Nigerians to help President Goodluck Jonathan have a dignified exit out of power.

Hear Lagbaja "He really wants to leave now. He does not want a second term, but he cannot say that publicly.

He is a hostage of the people pushing him (and) because of them, he can not simply walk away. So, he has to play along by campaigning for re-election.

He really needs your help, so that he can leave with dignity. Help him by voting him out.

Vote Buhari/Osinbajo on February 14.”

Well, from nobel laureate Soyinka to religious Father Mbaka, from the 90 years old grandma Hajia Mai Talle Tara who donated her life savings worth N1 million to GM's presidential bid to music icon Lagbaja and many others, everyone is clearly expressing his or her desire for CHANGE of leadership for Nigeria, demanding that Jonathan should humbly not stubbornly vacate Ask Rock.

#IHaveDecided too...

So Oga Jo, with all due respect, no need to create further unnecessary tension. We (Nigerians) are traumatized enough by your government already. We don't want you as our president again or ever. Just play one last card by conducting a very good election and hand over to the winner on May 29th, 2015.

That may just be your last chance to salvage your otherwise tattered, non-existent and even that, now shattered reputation. Perhaps, that may make your sins quicker to forgive by the millions of Nigerians, who have been terrorized by your inability to uphold your oath of office as the defender of their lives, properties and sovereignty.

VIOLENCE AGAINST PDP, UNNECESSARY PLEASE!

...by Tijjani Muhammad Musa

News about the masses expressing their frustrations against PDP in its presidential and other electioneering campaigns via torching of campaign vehicles, stoning candidates, tearing of posters, billboards and banners and other undemocratic, uncivilized actions are absolutely unnecessary, disheartening and therefore must be condemned by all sound and civil democrats.

We have been loyal followers of General Muhammad Buhari since the first day he stepped into politics, way back before the 2003 elections. We were there patiently with him in 2007 and again almost frustrated in 2011. But we survived the General being denied in tears, to all who bore witness. While the General cried at that post 2011 election press briefing, many more Nigerians cried with him in their hearts.

And most, at that particular moment in time made a solemn promise, to stand by him if he should ever decide to run for the presidency again. Now, we are all witnesses to Nigerians fulfilling that silent promise to vote for Buhari come February 14, 2015. Who could have imagine the phenomenal tsunami of ‪#‎FeBUHARI‬ 2015 ever happening in Nigeria. Is anyone in doubt now that indeed patience is a good, sound, solid virtue and a good formula for success?

One doesn't need Buhari to win any election to prove that if any stands honestly for sincerity of purpose and consistently pursue it, one day he or she will surely become a winner. Looking at the massive following of ‪#‎GMB‬ across the length and breadth of Nigeria, from the mighty and the low, regardless of ethnicity, education, age, region and religion, one can't help but give glory to God Almighty. For many, this is a dream come true. Only football ever unites Nigerians like this.

In most, and clearly all the signs have shown that, in most Nigerian voters' minds Buhari is the next democratically elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria come February 2015 and would by the Grace of the Living God Almighty be sworn-in on May 29th 2015. The present government's tenure is winding up and CHANGe, inevitable will be witnessed by the whole world. All that remains is for us all to be patient and for time to unstoppably tick on to this divinely scheduled event (God Willing).

Now, much as we desire this CHANGe, much as we are eager to see it come to pass, we must not spoil it by being impatient and reckless. We should not go about it like that expression of frustrated attitude as described above, if it is true that opposition supporters are the ones perpetrating such acts. For it is being suspected and even openly admitted and disclosed by some of PDP members that it is the party itself that is orchestrating these attacks and blaming it on APC, to further tarnish the opposition party and its presidential flag bearer.

Notwithstanding all these allegations and counter allegations, of what use is hitting, kicking or punishing a terminally sick body? It brings to mind a prophetic hadith of Muhammad (saws) that says killers and murderers are such an unfortunate lot. They stain their hands with someone death, whereas it is divinely ordained that the person will die at the scheduled moment in time, even if left on his or her own. Yet, instead of letting God's unchangeable decree come to pass, they claim the death upon themselves. So sad, really.

PDP is panting, gasping, taking its last few remaining breaths. It is almost dead and if allowed, it would quietly or gutteringly let go its proud and infamous life. No need for anyone to kick it in the guts and incur the wrath of nemesis. Like everything else in this life, the party has come, grown, reigned, peaked and now is in its twilight period. Soon the sun will set upon it and it will become history. Forever gone, in its case, hated to be remembered by many.

The Hausas say "Shure-shure ba ya hana mutuwa" (Thrashing about by a dieing body will not prevent it from dieing). All these moves PDP is making to survive its keeping date with its destiny will not save the party from relinquishing power and exiting from the politics of Nigeria. Where are all the others, some good, some bad political parties that came before it? They are all gone, some into the hall of fame and others into the thrash bin of history.

So, for any to be bothering himself or herself with being a catalyst towards speeding up PDP's death is a waste of one's precious time, resources and energy. The party once pride itself as the largest political party in Africa. Claiming it will live for eternity, ruling Nigeria. But just 15 inglorious years after and already panic of expiry has hit it. Most of its "gallant warriors" have either been killed by the party itself, committed suicide or ran off into exile.

It is indeed certain that one day time overtakes all things that were once in vogue. It is a development waiting to eventually happen. None is doubt that one day PDP and its power would ebb out. Many however thought its passing would not come during their life time, because of how monstrous the party had once grown. Nor will it be by the ‪#‎PowerOfOne‬ man. But if God Permits, Buhari will be the single force through whom PDP will fizzle out.

Nothing last forever, most especially when it is based on oppression and injustice. So, to all (both PDP and non-PDP) we say, please let this political contraption that has ruled us into ruins, run out of life, without giving them a scapegoat or any reason to blame someone for its demise, so that we give it a befitting burial.

FeBUHARI 2015, NIGERIA REBORN

…by Poetic Tee, “Here, take a sip”



High up in the heavens, a dark day made darker

As the sun looked down upon earth threateningly

Wearing a face of fierce, fresh, flowing molten magma

From an angry volcano, erupted in flowery, flamy flares

Menacingly spraying poisonous ashes sky high in directions

Puffing, scorching, charring, sharing death wantonly in a crawl

Snaking rivers of destruction upon innocence on unplanned paths


Hearts dislodged from safe cages, take positions in scared throats

Struggling to climb onto thousands of tongues in distilled fear

As terror sparkles in terrified eyes, like fireworks on display

Chaos, pandemonium all across the land of many a mind

Stormy collage of scenes, jumping in and out, quaking

Seems like the unwelcome Armageddon, told of aye

It’s naught, but fake devastations, devil-inspired



One starts the count as anxiety takes center stage

Breaths are held, occasioned by bumpy anticipations

It’s been done before, three times with detailed accuracy

Can there ever be a change, so truth prevails over falsehood?

Many asked as prayers offered vanquish oppressive evil schemes

Carefully planned for execution, but countered by birds in torrents

Millions in flight, casting stones of light on darkened souls, obliterating



Suddenly, like the Big Bang that started it all for this universal sojourn

Ecstatic euphoria as celebrations unprecedented fills up the streets

Shouts of joy, praises, voices rent the air from Maiduguri to Lagos

Car honks, blares declaring a grim battle fought, landslide won

Bayelsa to Sokoto set aglow with colorful acrobatic dancers

Gyrating to music of various sort rhyming in one harmony

Giving birth to renewed hope of a new nation, NIGERIA.
