I am a Nigerian. I am a born Nigerian I am raised a Nigerian. I am a true rare Breed of Nigeria I am a native of Nigeria. I love Nigeria. And I am proud to be called a Nigerian.
My origin is Nigerian. My blood type is Nigerian. My accent speaks Nigerian. My skin colour depicts Nigerian. My heart beat and bleeds for Nigeria. My pains explains the circumstances of Nigeria. My hope sees a Better Nigerian. And my faith professes that Nigerian. Yes, i am a blessed Nigerian!
My vision, My mission, my decisions, My actions, my passion and associations Describes the worth of Nigeria. Yes, I am a foreign Nigerian!
I am an honourable Nigerian. I am a responsible Nigerian. I am a proven Nigerian. I am a diplomat of Nigeria. I am a decorated citizen of Nigeria. I am an indisputable Nigerian. I am an indispensible Nigerian. And I am an indestructible Nigerian Yes, a Nigerian with a difference!
A Nigerian with direction and passion, A Nigerian in possession with the obsession And obligation to fashion Nigeria To become an enviable indivisible Nation Among other nations in all Ramification and glorifications. Yes, This is Nigeria!
Where hopes and dreams never give up, Until the carriers naturally give up! Where public service pays economic looters Than economic boosters! Where fishes in the midst of the sea Die in thirst of water and hunger. Where schooled-dullard easily become The best among schooled- brilliants! Where guardians encourage young Nigerians
To practice malpractice at the expense of a studious patriotic lifestyle! Where round pegs are displaced from round holes And square pegs are tribally fused into round-holes! Where honesty is perceived as stupidity And hostility to other peoples prosperity! Where most people are suffering and smiling expecting Ego better one day While others are harbouring and gathering treasures Without measures every day. Yet this is Nigeria!
A land flowing with milk and honey. A land filled with the talented without money! A land filled with multitudes of powerful brains, Yet without a manufactured gain! A land blessed with treasures and wealth of nations Yet without a treasure to behold within our nation! What a mess! Yet this is Nigeria!
A land where the laws are made for the rich, A land where the laws are blades to the poor A land where criminals and murderers are treated as honourable men A land where the innocent are trampled upon as dishonourable men A land where the corrupts are turned to celebrity, A land where the incorrupt are turned to non-entity! Oh... what a pity, to permit Hyper- insincerity in our entity? What a pity to limit credibility and sponsor infidelity in our vicinity? Yet this is Nigeria. Our own beloved nation!
Jokes apart! Nigerians are truly good people, Nigerians are truly lovely people, Nigerians are diligent people, Nigerians are delightsome people, Nigerians are just too unique and precious to be toyed with.
Yet ...the administrations and dispensations in Nigeria Had transformed Nigerians into professional Pen-robbers, armed-robbers, cyber- criminals, Suicide bombers, ritual killers, kidnappers, traffickers, Sex workers, drug-pushers and able- beggars... Yet we call this Nigeria? Our own land of promise?
If parents, guardians, traditional rulers and leaders in all administration Refuse to check their acts in Nigeria, Time will check. And if time fails to check, nature will check. And if nature fails to check, Patience...! Patience...! Patience... Will be the only tiny rope to hold the hopes of Nigerians. And when this fragile rope cuts off When this emaciated and kwashiorkor hope gives up A gruesome and devastating and aggressive revolution That the world had not witnessed before, will take shape! For the liberation, restoration and glorification of our great glorious nation From the hands of the merciless and ruthless oppressors Within and outside our dear nation.
Indeed, this Nigeria! Our pride! Our treasure!! Our own beloved Nigeria!!! Yes our own Beloved Nigeria! [Silence]
