A New Nigeria

Nigeria’s fortunes are my meditation
The future of her population
Endangered by deep corruption
By widespread moral pollution

Do we need a revolution?
Like the Egyptian Insurrection?
For our collective liberation
And comprehensive emancipation

For our leaders lack direction
Their lack of vision our oppression
Their political altercations
Only deepens our repression

In my earnest estimation
We need a cure for this infection
A new moral calibration
A rejuvenated constitution

We need fresh illumination
A new vision of a our nation
An end to this suppression
A new Nigerian expression

Prosperity for our population
Societal revitalization
A warranty of restoration
Hope for our generation
