#Warofwords3 NewNIGERIA by El-karis Ipinmoroti
where our leaders come into office with an active conscience, and not without a heart,
A government of the people,for the people and by the people.
Not an Hausa woman,
not an Igbo woman,
not a yorubawoman
we want a true Nigerian.
Who puts the people first and not the other way round.
Who doesnt eat alone but lets the National cake go round.
This country na for all of us,
e no be for some people dem.
Make dem no dey form with the same office,
wey na we put dem.
We want good roads,
we want security
a better healthcare system and diversified economy.
It shouldn’t be about oil alone,
lets do other things
lets invest in sports, entertainment. other things.
Lets do agriculture,
lets be self sufficient
lets invest in human capital development.
We want our youths to be more involved in politics
if we are the leaders of tomorrow
then those are prophecies that might never come through,
if we do not start now.
The last time i checked there was nothing like the right time
Naija go beta,
its more like a cliche
we have been talking since
just when are we gonna reach there?
just when are we gonna reach there?
2015 ko? Its around the corner
only those with our interest in mind should be our leaders.
