Nigeria,

A nation with lots of pretenders as leaders,

Saying one thing and doing another

We?re blessed with countless resources my brother,

But where are we today, I wonder

 

At 54,

Nigeria is one very big tree

But how fruitful has she been under the guide of the big three?

With each arm of government run like a jamboree

How did we get here? I ponder

 

How?

Tribalism, Religious differences, Lack of integrity,

Selfishness, nepotism and zero accountability

Conflict, Corruption, abuse of power, gross impunity,

Forces threatening to tear Nigeria asunder

 

However black today may seem,

However bleak tomorrow may look

The bond that holds us together,

Is stronger than forces threatening to tear us apart

 

And rising among the young generation today

We have beacons of hope & bastions of change

Minds that?ll inspire real change & lead to heal the nation

 

Which is why:

I see a nation where there are no pot holes. Yes.

I see a nation where PHCN leaves power on permanently. Yes.

I see a nation where ASUU is never on strike & youths are meaningfully engaged. Yes

I see a nation where opportunities are democratized and not personalized. Yes

I see a nation without Boko Haram, Kidnappings but pure peace all around. Yes

I see a nation where politicians don?t focus on elections but dividends of democracy. Yes

I see a nation where everything works as it ought to. Yes.

I see a nation where foreigners rush to get our visa. Yes

I see a nation forging a new face for Africa and her numerous nations. Yes

 

I SEE A NEW NIGERIA

I see a nation united in purpose

I see a nation led with vision and not by the morose

I see a nation of vibrant intellectuals not comatose

I see a nation of citizens able and responsible not trying to dose

I see a nation flowing with land, milk and honey we can ?use to pose?

I see a nation in tune with the dreams of her founding fathers who arose

 

I SEE THE GIANT OF AFRICA. I SEE A NEW NIGERIA

ARISE FROM YOUR SLUMBER. ARISE NIGERIA.
