THE ACTS OF THE SILENT SENTINEL AND THE DANGER OF DOING NOTHING

When Muhammadu Buhari attacked the Shi’ites and killed them;

I said:  I just can’t be bothered because I’m not a Shi’ite;

And when he went Python-dancing at Afara-Ukwu;

I said: I just can’t be bothered because I’m not Igbo,

When he attacked and killed the Middle Belters;

I said:  I just can’t be bothered because I’m neither a Tiv nor an Idoma, nor an Igala,

When Buhari attacked and killed the descendants of Oduduwa;

I shrugged my shoulder and said: I just can be bothered because I’m not Yoruba,

Again, when Buhari attacked the Niger Deltans;

I turned the other side and said:

Wetin concern okro soup with bonga fish!

When he attacked the Christian Northerners;

I cackled and said: Na their Wahala be that!

And by the time he came to attack me,

all were dead and gone,

So, I was left to suffer the fate of all those

who do nothing in the face of injustice,

Tyranny and oppression!
