You Don't Owe Your Parents Shit If You Didn't Ask To Be Born

The common Nigerian never aspires to stupendous wealth They don't see themselves as becoming a billionaire or even more No, they can't fathom that It's beyond their vision They don't count in billions and millions They count in tens and units Noble Igwe made a tweet some weeks back, saying kids don't owe their parents anything! But because we don't think The common man in Nigeria don't think, they came at him with their ordinary forks and spoons The only tool they know how to use, especially in eating indomie and onions Eggs are a luxury for these sorts When I agreed with him then and right now, stating my opinions They came at me too Called me names as they are wont to do Their primary line of defense was as weak as the illusion of a progressive one Nigeria!  Sacrifice and honor!!! They bleated My parents sacrificed for me and my siblings so I must honor them My father left us so my mother suffered and raised us alone...
