THE LAMENTATIONS OF SPIRIT NIGERIA

by Demilade Eni-O'fe Omoniyi  
10/01/2013 / Politics

O, the joy of a glorious birth!
I was conceived in my mother's womb in the early 1990s
Born spirit and body, both soul-tied together
The news of my conception was the talk of the century
Prophecies of the very many rich treasures I hosted were known all over the globe
My eventual birth was that of a royal bloodline
I was such a pampered babe at the beginning!

October's first light was my first existence apart from my mother's womb
A lovely babe full of smiles I learnt I was
It appeared my sojourn on the earth was going to be a bed of roses alway
That I was born to such an ever friendly world was my presumption
But No, I was all wrong!
In a short while, the glamour that trailed my birth faded away
I soon learnt what pain and betrayal was
Terror, anguish and depression became my meat and wine
With concoctions of social poison I unwittingly fed my body and soul

In search of the loving arms of my mother I again find
Perhaps she would comfort and counsel me as true mothers do
Alas, I couldn't find her!
To her father's house I later learnt she had returned
The message she left with my elder brother pierced my heart
She had said: "Son, never attempt to find me. Fend for thyself!"
Hither and thither I further went, yet no much succour
My blood brothers also were facing raging wars,
And in tears too bitter they are to help me either

"God, why me?" I am getting tired!
A free slave was better than a son in bondage,
The groans of growth is worse than a woman in travail, I reasoned
Take solace in the glory of the future soon to dawn, my soul whispered
But just then, my body resolving to break away from the soul tie
"I have endured enough with you", he protested
Truly, he had suffered so much!
The arrows of pain had deformed her badly
But not now, it would be worse for me than ever if I let him go

"To where thou goest?" I gently queried
With a rebellious look on his fainting face he answered me:
"I am sick. I need herbs to heal myself", he retorted
"And don't think I'm coming back if I ever get healed", he quickly added
Again I broke into uncontrollable tears
I can well imagine his tale of misery
He deserved to be happy and free, but that isn't in sight
"But leaving me now isn't the way out" I struggled to tell him
He would not listen anymore. His mind was made up already!

What shall I do now?
The struggle through childhood will soon be over
But I need him to stand by me and finish the battle together
I don't have the willpower to fight all alone.
What can I do without him? How I wish I had the remedy to his agony!
Who shall appeal to him on my behalf? Who shall plead my cause?
Who shall beg him to stay a little while more with me?
53 years ago we were born together, and now we are 14 years old
Few years from now, we should transit into adulthood together
Then we shall be happy and free forever together
The victory is around the corner if only he stays. I strongly perceive it
Who shall stay and stoop with me to win this final warfare?
