Screaming For Independence

Fifty years a nation was born

Transform from been an existing land

To a statehood and later she attend nationhood

Transforming into republic

After so many years of series debate

On attaining independent

As each moment fades away

Gradually and little by little

She was left alone with her few selected citizen

To drive the course of her existence for life

That one meeting change the history

Of the whole affairs of that country

And she begin to rule her country

Base on the dedicates of the Queen

And for some times she got what it takes

To now stand alone

Government was good

People live in affluence

And no on is pointing accusing finger

On that government official

Then everyone work his hands to bone

To make sure they see the country

That they dream of and what to be

They walk while you are sleep

They scream against tribalism and nepotism

As corruption is seen as the greatest sin

Been a taboo that should be thought inside the heart

Talkless about to less to speak it out

Everyone serves as a watch dog towards his neighbour

So many years down the line fifty years has come and gone

Is it still that same way today

In the Nigeria of today where you and I live

See the masses suffering and smile

Going along with the same slogan “e go better”

For how long will seat and discuss on this spot

Yet nothing is working

Will have been in age long war with corruption

Yet we haven’t reach a conquest talkless of emancipation

At fifty seven (57) have we really been there

Is it really happy yet another independence celebration?
