Nigeria is not where it should be
Development is a stranger
Growth moves in reverse gear
The environment stinks
Of dashed hopes.
We see pockets of comfort and wealth
Unfulfilled dreams have taken over the landscape
Joblessness roams the land
Poverty is an ever present, unwanted guest striping us bare.
And the desire for understanding is chased out of town.
Troubled youths look for direction.
Elders pray for wisdom.
Most search for answers.
The outside appears bleak.
But there is singing inside.
On the inside there are deep, vast oceans
Of immense love, anger, passion and hope for the country.
Let's talk, sing
about these contrdaictions
affecting our lives
holding the country down.
Nigerians must take their country back
