When will there be a new Nigeria?
We call for a change..
We call for a revolution
The government has failed us
The police has failed us
Where is the water..
Where are the jobs
Where is the electricity..
Nigeria has the potential…the potential to be a great nation..
The protests in Nigeria now goes beyond fuel subsidy.
Enough is enough
It is time Nigerians spoke out
It is time Nigerians awakened…
They are tired of the neglect..
They are tired of the injustice..
They are tired of the corruption..
They are tired of the insecurity..
When will there be a new Nigeria..
For years...they have listened to the government fail them
For years…they have sat back and watched the corrupt government
For years…they have been in a box...scared…frail and unhappy.
But now is the time for them to speak..
Nigeria listen to the tears of your people..
The sickness..
The pain…
The suffering..
The injustice..
The insecurities..
The rape..
The corruption..
The lack of jobs..
The lack of food..
The lack of electricity..
The lack of education..
The lack of health care..
The lack of good homes..
The lack of sanitation..
The lack of good leaders…
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH..
..people are sleeping on the streets..
People are being killed like animals without any consequences for the killers..
People are being scared to walk at night..
People are beggin’ on the streets
People are tired of being frustrated..
People are tired of talking and the government not listening..
People are tired of driving on bad roads..
People are tired of having their children die before the age of 5 due to preventable diseases..
People are tired of being tired..
When will there be a bright future for Nigeria..
When will there be a new Nigeria..
Nigeria my nation…
When will you listen..
They have no way else to go..
They have no where else to run..
Nigeria my nation…
Where is the future..
When there is no food..
No good roads..
No clean water for the masses..
The inequality is rife..
The suffering is continuous..
Nigeria where is the future..
It is time for you to move ..NIGERIA
There needs to be a change in history..
And if it doesn’t…then this will be the beginning of an endless war.
It is time to end the corruption..
Where has all the money gone ..
The extra earning from crude oil???
Where has it gone..
And then you removed fuel subsidy..
Hence, Doubling the price..
People were struggling from their bones to pay for commodities..
Now that the price for such has doubled how do you want them to survive..
How?
All they want is a united nation….
A nation where we have strong and wise leaders..
A nation that can provide for its citizens..
A nation that is not just democratic by name but also by nature..
A nation that will provide for its individuals
A nation that is not corrupt
A nation where citizens can live freely without the fear of…
Armed robbers..
Rape..
Hooligans…
Or preventable death..
A nation that doesn’t support injustice..
A nation that listens to the cries of its people..
A nation where they don’t have to worry about food..
A nation where they don’t have to worry about health care..
A nation where they don’t have to worry about living their own destiny..
But is that too much to ask??
When will there be a new Nigeria?
