Its f our days now
Since, I heard the anthem
Its four days now
Since, I heard many pretending and looking proud
Of their nation.
Today we still do some jamboree parties
Without essence
Just like Christmas, shoeless we run
Errands into kitchen with
Useful hands pounding pepper
Slicing meat but when
The salt was discovered to have
Finished “They say” It’s the nation’s
Responsibility “our nation go pay”
For many years now
We ‘ve had our liberation
Yet we still work under deprivation
Still work in molestation
Deprivation of our mentality
What is it that makes you jobless?
“They say” It’s the nation’s responsibility
Our nation go pay
Out of the scroll in one voice we
Revolted with the rules brought
Now see us arguing like vultures
Too many to one fat rat
Crushed by the night lover’s beetle
What is it that makes you renovate
The drains at your backyard into a
Refuse dump
What is it that makes you turn
The notice board upside down
You say its the nation’s responsibility
“Our nation go pay”
Urinating beside a bank, na the nation go
Still pay?
Be careful, for its not hunter’s twitching
Moustache that throws the monkey into the river
Before we turn our nation into a full time debtor that can no longer mend
The crushing economy
Its important that if we must have
A greaterNigeria, we must act wisely
and act out a trueNigeria, its all start from you.
