Dear Pastor Tunde Bakare
I dislike the culture of joining bandwagons
Especially ones that badmouth men of God
However, I realise that it's the bandwagon effect
They don't all beat the band of the wagon
Even though they are all on the bandwagon
Nigeria did not die with Ironsi's Unification Decree
Afterall there was a reversal of that stupid decree
We had no fathers who truly founded our nation!
If we did, we would have no reason to see generals
Leave their barracks to make decrees and counter decrees
Wrong diagnosis no matter how well worded is misdiagnosis
The cure for every ailment must begin with proper diagnosis
The nations in Nigeria must meet, minds and hands
To produce a charter of true nationhood
That all sons of the nations in Nigeria can be proud of
Then we will be reborn and truly become a nation
6 regions instead of 36 states? Why not 5, 3 or 56?
Is it about the size of a governed area or about governance?
Dear pastor, It has little to do with the size of an area
It has everything to do with the principles enthroned
The prevailing institutions and the cultures thriving there
The bandwagon calls you the new PR man for Buhari the inept
I am not with them. I create bands and look for wagons
I disagreed when you insisted that "integrity was all we needed"
Now you repent "integrity alone is not enough"
Today, "restructure" you scream. What will you say tomorrow?
Remember that you led a bandwagon yourself in this post-truth era
Nigeria needs a charter.
One that assures our children of safety in this land
One that guarantees liberty and justice
One that enthrones merit and deletes ethnicity
One that achieves fairness without a warped federal character
When our nations can commit mind and hands to this
We would have made a quantum leap
Our states would produce regardless of resources
For it is not resources that produce
Resourceful men produce
They can only produce when they are certain
Certain that what they produce will not be stolen or destroyed
That is the restructuring we need.
