SILENT NIGHT. (In the rhythm of the Christmas carol)
Silent
night in Lagos skies
All is bright,
NEPA Light
Round the
mainland, Eko and wide
Hustle and
bustle in Eko is calm
Sleep in
heavenly peace
Sleep in
heavenly peace.
At this
moment this is the rhythm I have in my mouth walking the streets of Lagos this
festive season with the efflux of people who have moved out of the metropolis
to see loved ones and for the many part this is one of the largest in recent
years. Sufficing to say that the better part of some states capital cities is
as scanty as a major part of Lagos not to talk less of the various communities
in those states. Would it be inherent to say that Nigeria has been compounded
to be made of Lagos, Abuja, Port-Harcourt and Kano where a whole lot troop into
as a result of scarce resources to be shared to the federating units hence the
off peak periods during the festive periods and many cases transporters reaping
a great deal of return from passengers.
But hey
what can I say I am enjoying the peace and I have not slept better in many days
expect every other night which will end pretty soon. So I have to enjoy this
little time I have before the arrival of the ‘wailing wailers’ and their constituents.
Enjoy.
