Fuel Subsidy Protest Collapses - Labour Leader Shuffles

Drummer! drummer! drum the drum-
Kpalungo rhythmic sound.
Survival dance, deceitful art,
I stay rooted...and I sway.

Ethics, morals stand at bay,
My conscience drained and dry.
My passion rises and ebbs like tide,
I stay rooted...and I sway.

Outfox foxtrot, quick-quick slow-
Kpalungo is the dance.
My final move is all concealed,
I stay rooted...and I sway.

Mushin brigade took V. I ,
Revolution! is the cry.
Hungry man is spineless beast,
I stay rooted... and I sway.

In times of Spring, I stand erect,
Like Libya's desert rats.
I bend and buckle on settlement,
I stay rooted...and I sway.

Subsidy Report Out:
Cartel Seeks Divine Intervention

Oh! Almighty, we pray, that the masses
May search and search and never find :
The mysteries of FUEL SUBSIDY,
REFINERY and NEPA'S great decline,
NITEL/TRANSCORP  bonded  love affair.  

The founding fathers stand and weep;
Bid time return they say in tears,
The African Giant is on the brink.
But alas! The cabal grip is all too tight.

Aluta  Continua

Ladidi Dan Mama
