YAWA DEY (There is trouble) BY MARTIN BECK NWORAH

Thanks to Burna boy for painting our Nigerian scenario in his track
"Yawa dey";I got the lead/inspiration for this article from the song.
Now let me fire on. "Yawa dey my people",when Ahmed,a graduate has
stayed at home for seven years searching for job with no luck. He
decides to use his grandfather's old 505 for taxi service. In a
day,he'll visit the mechanic five times just to make sure the engines
are alive. While coming out from the fourth visit to the
mechanic,police stops him and insists he must drop something for the
boys. He looks inside his empty pocket,looks at the policeman,eyes the
dagger beside him and shakes his head...yawa dey.
Mr. Emeka has been dodging his landlord for the past five months to
avoid paying his long overdue rent. His pastor has been brainwashing
him that he must always sow in order to reap. He diverts his house
rent to the church hoping that one day, "pepper go rest" and he will
also ride his own BMW X6 like the pastor. Then one faithful
evening,the frustrated man meets his landlord in front of his
church,the pastor reminds him that he has not paid his tithe for the
month. The landlord complains to the pastor about his(Mr.Emeka's)
overdue rent and Mr.Emeka's son informs him that he has just been sent
out of school...yawa dey.
Tunde is at the parks with his mouth always open,ready for fight. He
makes around 500 naira from the motor parks and spends 450 on drinks
and cigarette. He is dating three ladies and lives in a one room
apartment with his three brothers. He has not eaten since today and
some people tell him that there is a political "peaceful" riot in the
state. They hand him a gun and recruits him as a foot soldier to do
other things before,during and after elections. He finishes the
job,escapes with the gun and is now sitting under the mango
tree,thinking of what to do with the gun, as he smokes away his pain.
Should I steal? Kidnap? Or kill? ...Yawa dey.
His name is Martin Beck Nworah,he wrote this article and is very much
interested in seeing that Nigerians read it. He hopes it will be
posted online for everyone to see. And as he completes his 102
push-ups and counts his Abs,he is wondering the type of "yawa" that
will "dey" if this article is not published or maybe you dare copy and
paste without permission....yawa dey. I believe we will settle all our
"yawa" and live happily in this country,so that when we must've
succeeded in getting to the Promised Land, you will pass me a glass of
water and thank God for the gift of grace for the race.

  1. This is the story of an average Nigerian who goes into crime cos there's clearly not enough jobs, Universities will keep churning out unemployable graduates, companies and firms will keep laying off staff and to cap it all, imagine the fate of someone without a degree and hasn't discovered his/her talent.....crime begins to look appealing. Another great write-up

      If we the youths begin now to understand these things and work hard,our future will certainly not be bleak.
