Tell Chief Anthony Enahoro that the independent nation he fought for is no more.

Tell Ahmadu Bello that our judicial system now favours the rich.

Tell Muritala Muhammed that we still use kerosene to cook and candles to see.

Tell King Jaja of Opobo that we are still slaves in our country.

Please, tell Dele Giwa that Nigerian press has been bought with money.

Tell Chinua Achebe that things have fallen apart.

Tell Yaradua that we are back to zero point agenda.

Tell Fela that his prophecy has come to reality. NIGERIANS ARE SUFFERING AND  SMILING!
