1.  Hidden beyond our ethnicity and religion

         Is our Mandela, walling for the day of revelation

 

1.  Have been asking this question for years!

All I have got have been wrong answers

 

1. Why? Is Naija so poor in Character?

To have made her failed so far?

 

1.  Not for lack of fame or great personality

 But for scoring little above average in integrity

 

1. Naija's challenge our greatest concern

The task before her, to all we must assign

 

1.  Our toxic politics, untamed governance

 Have eaten deep into our souls and created ignorance

 

1.  Corruption must be killed and burnt

 Nepotism crucified, and others sins, down we should hunt

 

1. Before we see the promised land

And, among the best, be counted

 

1.  As clean, pure and presentable

Among nations sitting at round table

 

1. Naija was created big, great and blessed

      We her children, made her untidily dressed
