A Letter To Dr. Nelson Mandela


 Dear Dr. Nelson,
 
Pls When you get to the world beyond, tell Herbert Malculay that the party he founded has been turned into People Destroying Party. Tell Obafemi Awolowo that we now pay school fees without going to school. Help me tell Nnamdi Azikiwe that the long wall to democracy he built has fallen, only the cracked fence still stands. Tell Chief Anthony Enaharo that the independent nation he fought for is no more. Tell Alh. Shehu Shagari that... boko haram has destroyed his reason for creating NYSC no one goes to the north any longer. Tell Alh. Ahmadu Bello that our judicial system now favours only the rich. Tell Baba Fela that OBJ was re-elected president of Nigeria after all he sang.
Also tell him that Terry G is the new afro beat king.
 
Tell Muritala Mohammed that we still use kerosene to cook and candles to see. Tell King Jaja of Opobo that we are still slaves in our own country. Tell Prof. Iyayi that Federal Govt has paid N200 Billion into ASUU account but "we never see alert". Pls tell Saro Wiwa that his south south youths are still jobless and cashless, tell Dele Giwa that the Nigerian press has been bought over with money. Tell Moses Oisakede that the National Association of Nigeria Students (NANS) is an arm of the Federal Government of Nigeria. Tell them that we need a quick reply to this letter. Please tell baba God to make me the Nigerian Mandela of my generation. 

Yours In the Struggle


 Mr. Adetolu Chukwudi Musa
