The Billionaire Boy(Poem)

[Chidi Anthony Opara, FIIM, CDOA]

By Chidi Anthony Opara

A breezy Friday morning,

The sun parted the clouds

Grinning.

Leaders of the faithfuls

Rehearsed the chants

And the cants,

The faithfuls with zeal

Awaited the chants

And the cants.

A boy 

Breezed into a banking hall

Dressed in bright  babanriga,

Accompanied by body guards,

The head

Capped with a long cap.

Banking freezed,

Bank officials gathered to serve

The boy who breezed in.

"Transfer one billion nairas

To my wife account",

The billionaire boy commanded.

"Yes sir"!

The bank officials chorused.

Few years ago,

Before the narrow minded leader

Landed from retirement

With narrow agenda,

The boy was college bound.

College ambition abandoned,

The billionaire boy

Now peddles fake purchasing papers

At the places 

Where petroleum products are procured.
