Quick story of Lagos Area boys depicting unrestrained
terrorism on site workers, terror unlimited, is the wage worth the risk?

MAZA MAZA
Goes double, preface site
horror:
From Coker – Mile 2 – Badagry
way
Urchins clash over paltry
pay.
Who’ll dare the Governors’
boys?
Or barter his life for common
coins.
At every point we go we
“settle”…
Quickly, unsteady; thus goes
the battle.
At Maza Maza,
Work retrogresses in stanzas:
Kola results to distress at noon .
Landlords with arms oppress
in open.
Everyone takes cover,
Policemen reverse in rover,
Drilling is far from over …
our rods,
Casing and samples litter …
Jesus!
Deafening screams as bullets
fly,
Bravery marks on swollen lips
for mercy cry,
What a story for such a ransom.
Thank God for Grace in the
storms.
