THE RUTH
Nigerians, oh no Nigeria!
Fulani or Igbo and so what
Christian or Muslim and so what
North or South and so what
Don’t you see that we are still one, under the green and white colour of
our flag?
But no we don’t see because we can’t see
We are blinded by bigoted opinions that just make us hate
This leads us to annihilate each other
We’ve started to tear down everything our forefathers began to build,
instead of finish it
I tell you the truth, The Hate You Give Little Infants F’s Everybody
But there is still hope.
I see a new generation of leaders,
I see a light in our gross darkness and I see a dawning of the long night
And we the youths are the hope
Our fathers fought for our independence, but we are the ones to fight
for a transformed Nigeria
Paraphrasing Martin Luther King Jr. I quote,
“I have a dream that my future children will one day live in a Nigeria
where they will not be judged by their name, by their religion, by their
origin or even gender
but be judged by the content of their character. I have a dream”
And that’s the whole truth.
Thank you
