This should be a Wake up call to all.
Oh Benue! my Benue!!
Your pain and woes started
When Lobi Bank died
And you were left with your
South and north banks.
Benue Breweries Limited
Is now brewing for a strange
Stranger in the land
More is no more for Benue.
Benue Cement Company
Is long married to Dangote
Who is busy making money
And has forsaken her child
BCC Lions to die of kwashiorkor.
Taraku Mills Limited
What are you milling?
That our soya beans is wasting?
You can't mill soya beans
And give Benue soya oil!
Otukpo Burnt Bricks Limited
Caught fire mysteriously
And burnt herself to death
From ashes it came and
From ashes it must return?
Igumale Cement Company Limited
Did you die on arrival?
Or did you survive a day to taste
The joy of being a cement company?
See you limestone lay to waste.
Benue State Television
How many times will you appear
In Benue Budget annually
And gulp in clean millions
Before you will be watched
Like a dancing masquerade at Christmas?
Benue Fruit Juice Company
Are you so sweet a virgin
Benue People cannot taste your juice?
What a damsel in distress are you!
Benue Tomato Company
When will Benue tomatoes ever
Be ripe enough for you to take off?
When Benue is now know as
The waste land of tomatoes.
Benue Agricultural Development Company
Lays along Aliade road with
Hands outstretched to travellers
Begging for alms and help
Like street urchins of old.
Ben, the Benue soft drink
Could not survive either and
Died a beautiful young maiden
Coca Cola bought its premises
But packed and left in a hurry
Like a travelling hurricane.
Benue State Water Board
Benue people are thirsty
Because you lay so lame by
The River Benue and cannot
Scoop and purify water for
Benue's thirsty throats!
Radio Benue Makurdi
Where is Katsina-Ala substation?
Where is Idekpa sub-station?
Upon what shall they resurrect
Like Jesus on Good Friday?
Oh Benue, my Benue!
Where did you go wrong?
When shall you get it right?
Arise ye government of Benue state and revive yourself from slumber.......
CAN BENUE GET BETTER ?
