Arise O Nigerians
Compatriot's call obey
To redirect our voices and vices
From spices of hatred and bigotry
The airborne monster of our polity.


The labour of our heroes past
Though seems to be in pain
And yet we didn't gain,
They're all gone down the drain
Finally all were in vain.


The independence we got
Got us dependent
On crumbs that fall from their tables
And system created to serve them
A new born child doomed to die.


Though many said YES to their O
In the land of the Pace Setter,
And many agreed O to their YES in the Living Spring's State;
Yet they judged us indolently
While many were Nigerian Immigrated out of the world.


When we felt The Umbrella could not cover us again,
Not because we were too many but because The Umbrella had too many holes;
We vetoed The Broom in our centre space
Thinking it would sweep corruption from our land,
The Broom has stained our garments with the dirt from its broom sticks
The sticks still stink!


Nigerian youth redirect
Redirect all your resolutions
They've only led to dissolution and never revolution.

We've seen Cee-C and read BCs,
Where are our PVCs?
In the Northernmost states,
Kids get matured digitally because of elections
In the Southernmost states, married men thought they are kids during elections.


You're from the land of the rising sun
And I come from where the sun sets
Yet some come from the topmost part of our land
But you, I and they are brethren
Mothered by the suffering and the hardship
The civil colonialism gotten from our distant relatives.


It's time to stand on our toes
We've crawled along long enough
Some said we need to pray,
Yet Joshua must wield his sword.
Others said it's the person from the either group
But poverty is a blind visitor and hardship listens to no one.


Nigerian youths redirect
Let's snob the capitalist monsters
Who come like feeble rabbits
But indeed are plaguing mice.
Though made feeble economically,
And helpless in bearing weapons
It's time to clear our garden
Cut the grasses of corruption, nepotism and tribalism
Parading themselves as beautiful flowers.
