Dad lied to me....when he said go to school And when I asked , he would say it's the right thing to do....that all great men went to school And that all rich men read their books Passed their tests and came out to be the best...that schooling was the only criteria to be q Nigerian and not suffer discrimination To be a citizen and not feel condemnation....all these Dad told me.... I have finished schooling Dad why do I still feel intimidated...why does English seems outdated...that the only way u can get a job isn't your first class but your wealth class...why do I still trek under the sun ....and try to leave the house before dawn ....just to search for a job.... I cannot bend on a knee to the love of my life to marry..... Because I don't have money for her dowry.... Am I not suppose to be endowed with riches Am I not suppose to have alot of bread and fishes...based on the credits on my c.v But now I can't even boast of a t.v Alot of questions I want to ask you... Why do I hve an English name when am not English Why would I be told the lie that when I graduate...my appointment is sure...why why why ©Nnawuihe Jude dad lied to me #poem
