A NEW NIGERIA: CHANGE STARTS WITH YOU AND ME

On this lane of change,I choose to rail
I must lay and pay in order to gain
for me to bring about the change
I must be the change I want to see in my world.




Kwashiorkoric or Epileptic
The system of education
Deficient like a child that lacks protein
Disorganised like a machine that is not easy to maintain
like a sickle cell it rises and falls
Dry ground like a rain in vain
Producing beautiful flowers but no fruit to show
The lands cries for rain
The habitation are crying for change
For they are tired of sowing in pain and reaping in vain.


My attitude will determine my altitude
I must walk on latitude to get to the longitude
I must not walk with the multitude
I`m from north I`m nice
from south I`m sound
East I can endure
From west I`m wonderful
Together we are one
Our diverse cultures,beliefs and languages we uphold
No discrimination against another
Because we eat and drink from one source
Change we all embrace.


I inherit because I merit
Not for a credit I sold my merit
Because I am a zenith
And for none I have vowed to lend it
Not even for a penny I`m ready to sell it
I`m ready to defend it
Because I am a Dennis.


I am love for I am young
Unsafe abortion
Unwanted pregnancy
Early sex
The prevalence among youths
The dilemma of our society
The future mothers are dying
Our future fathers are dinning and swimming in the pool of unprotected sex
Our young generation is dying silently
The future leaders are perishing
Who will deliver us?


I was in chain, but I emulate change
With this change, I am free from chain
And now I am an advocate of change
Because I refuse to be in chain
A single candle cannot light up the world 
A single tree cannot make a forest
A single wood cannot boil the ocean water
But a million ant can finish up an elephant
Change today and stop to feign
Change start with you and me.
