The proverbial Nigerian market woman

Derided as stupid and ignorant

Yet, she trained and educated
Nigerian scientists, artists, polithiefians, and clergy.

Since her products have failed to

Deftly and efficiently pilot the Nigerian ship of State

It is time to hand over the oars to

The proverbial Nigerian market woman

Who accomplished so much with so little.

Maybe, starting with Anambra State in 2021

Where some market women are in the gubernatorial race.

Market women can do no worse than

Market men who have run Nigeria aground.
