Hello Nigeria
My Nigeria
Where insecurity spreads like wildfire
Poverty soars like the eagle with evil flap
Corruption blossoms with pride
Crime soldiers on like never before
Educational system gasping for air
Healthcare system weeps endlessly
Like a motherless child
Power supply system on life support
As government inefficiency reigns supreme
And the NASS bleeds the country
Judges’ bank accounts house millions
Deposited by the hand of god
My country my country
Don’t you breathe last yet
I know this is beyond drip remedy
Intensive care unit is what you need
And the poor that can’t fly, suffer haplessly
In the hands of uniformed, armed revenue collectors
Our once highly rated military stalemated
By ill-trained criminals
Our border gatekeepers compete with oil magnates
In the display of affluence
While the entrepreneur’s back cracks
Under the weight of numerous loads
Buhari tried to discard his blundering coach
But the new level coach is not much different
It may take forever to get to the next level
My country my country
It is a case of emergency
We will never give up hope
Solution must be found
In God’s name
