CAN THIS BECOME OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM?

The Dome of Shame and the Headquarters of the Neo-colonial Apostles in Nigeria.

SONG OF NIGERIA:

NIGERIA WILL RULE THE WORLD

Is it indeed, a total lack of ideas or just a Leviathanic folly that some amongst us have gone to the universal colonial junkyard, at a time when this writer is working on a project of international magnitude aiming at decolonising the African mind and re-orientating their psyche, including decolonising the African educational system by binning the colonial education the colonialists left Africans with, African languages, cultures, economy, politics, social life, dietary intake/habit, etc, to pick and dust a ‘rubbish’ that had been binned since 1978 to become once again, our national anthem?

UK businesses cannot continue risking reputation with shoddy security, says Espria
