Gamji Poetry: An ode to unity 



By Musa Aminah 

I wish to wake up one day

And see my motherland become a symphony of thoughts

Where our minds dance with diverse melodies, harmonizing as one


Where we cast aside the boundaries of regions and tribes,

and speak as children of the same soil

Where Amaka, Ajibola, and Danladi wield swords of justice


Where Rukayat and Ruth stand as guardians of Osunfunke's honor

Where we unite in the battle for true democracy,

regardless of the language on our tongues


Where "Unity and justice, peace and progress"

become more than just words

A nation where love blossoms like a garden in full bloom


A nation where every voice holds the power to govern

A nation where equality is woven into the fabric of our existence

A nation where one man's words echo the hopes of all


Where the divide between the poor and the rich dissolves like morning mist

A nation where the law stands tall, above every soul

I wish to wake up one day and witness a nation where peace reigns supreme.

The Psychology of Bribe: How Nigerians Paint the Scene and Play the Victim

  By Abdfatah Muhammad In Nigeria, bribery used to be seen as a secret crime, but now it is often treated like a normal, fast, and necessary way of getting things done. It is no longer seen as a sacrilegious sin as today; it wears the cloth of an unspoken contract we sign every day.   Those ‘fast tracking fees’ for passports, the 'settlement' we give to be exonerated from a violation, the 'appreciation' to bypass the queue. We are a society that has perfected the art of paying to be seen, served, and sometimes, simply ignored.   Everyone condemns it publicly, but privately, many Nigerians have a special handshake and darling hug with it. You hear phrases like, “Oga, abeg naa”, replied with “oya, do something make you dey go.” From airports to motor parks, government offices to clinics, bribery has crept into our routines so quietly that it almost feels like part of the national value. If Nigeria had a motto extension, it might read, “Peace, Unity, and Someth...
