They say, one who runs along cannot be outrun
What has horns can’t be wrapped in a sack for so long
From where you stand look behind
A glimpse of 53 years
Yes, we have come this far
Through created path and weeded lanes
Embrace pains and sweat
Emancipated through the rituals of our fore-fathers
Who were wiped and ushered away in slave ship
But their rebellious heart never left with the waters
Now, we all walk around with a giant tag
Printed on our fore-head
Giant of Africa!
I pray
I pray for our heritage to live
Longer than Metuselah
When things fall apart
The gods are to be blame
When the sun don’t give light to
The earth
When our harvest are lame
And can’t be sold
For even a punitive cost
But why not the farmer
My pledges rages in anger
What do Nigerians want?
You ask your self
I know this land
This land is blessed
With resources, vegetation
People with eminence
Shaking hands
Spreading forth this disease of
Happiness
Tales have been told
Tale I know
Remember trade by barter
Sharing the little with love
Abi no be so we suppose live together
My dad will always tell stories
Of his old days in Kano
How he live and walk freely
Without trying to conceal his religion
Inside a pair of caftan
I know things changes
Must it be for the worst?
Am trying to understand
What happen those times
Who battered our conscience with lies
Where are the true Nigerians?
I can only behold selferians
Inflicting nightmares on their brothers
While they fall asleep
My head is heavy
My eyes are tired to take a walk
I still can’t sleep
I hear orations of lootings
Abduction of innocent school girls
Bomb blast, killings
Somebody just lost a love one
Do you even care
Displaced citizens
Imagine a home-made refugee
You even made us step on our selves to death
Just because we need a job
Thanks for your apology
But I believe
I believe in the land of darkness
There is a day for the rising sun
What Nigerians want
Is what I want
For us to be united
As a majority of one
Outstretch yours hands to touch
Cos, what you desire will never come
