JESUS AND NIGERIANS
Every Nigerian Christian prayer starts with Jesus
Every Nigerian Christian prayer ends with Jesus.
Every Nigerian countdown begins with Jesus
Every Nigerian countdown ends with Jesus.
Jesus grants Nigerians permission to eat
Jesus grants Nigerians permission to defecate.
Jesus grants Nigerians permission to urinate
Jesus grants Nigerian permission to sleep.
Nigerian Automobiles driven by Jesus
Nigerian Airplanes piloted by Jesus
Nigerian Ships piloted by Jesus.
Nigerian Armies armed by Jesus
While money for arms goes into private pockets.
Traditional breaking of kola nuts taken over by Jesus
Soon breathing may be impossible without
Jesus granting the much needed permission.
As Jesus permeates and dominates Nigerian life
So does criminality, immorality, and corruption
Dominate Nigerian life and culture.
The Nigerian Jesus must be nonchalant to entreaties by Nigerians
For salvation or life makeovers, or Jesus must
Recognize fake and Obsequious Deference by Nigerians.
Jesus and Nigerians, a match made in Hell and not Heaven.
