NIGERIA OF MY DREAM

I foresee a Nigeria of my dream,
A nation with joy so full to the brim.
A country where all would live in tranquillity,
And all would revel in new-found accountability.

A land where religious sentiments are set aside,
And unity would be made to preside.
A nation where corruption is eliminated,
And honesty is allowed to be manifested.

I dream of a Nigeria that is truly secured,
Where we can sleep with both eyes closed.
Where foreigners would walk freely without fear of the kidnapper,
And where there would be prompt resolution to all palaver.

A Nigeria of our dream begins with me and you.
Kindly hear me out, do not eschew.
As I share my dream with you, beloved
Take a while to ponder, even if its blurred

I hereby charge the young in years and heart,
To contribute in every little way to make this place perfect.
To rekindle in our heart the flame of change.
Doing it right even when to others, it seems strange

Let every youth in his heart will to make a difference,
Lets do it right even if it means facing a harsh consequence.
Lets say NO to corruption at all strata.
Contributing our little best to every quota.

All I yearn for is a place that gives wings to our dreams,
And hushes our fears, worries and screams.
A place where we would all develop stronger wings to fly.
Rising so high, touching the zenith of the blue sky.

Even in this state of adversity,
Lets join hands together and make this dream a reality.
I desire and pray this doesn’t just end as a dream.
With me and you, we can achieve the Nigeria of our dream.
