Cry For Nigeria My Country

I wake up every morning to ask myself 'what's happening'? God gave us oil in the Delta, waters in the Benue and Niger, mineral resources all over. Though we've no natural disaster, but we got loopholes that need plaster. And now we are falling assunder, that is making me wonder, am even behaving strange like an anaconda. We still survive under the millitary suppression, not even to mention the oppression of the wild. Our politicians are all of pretention, our leader are products of greed and discension, when we are called the giants of Africa, centre of attention. Oct 1st 1960 was our day of freedom, since then, we threw away our wisdom, all in the name of religion, politics, what is this? You will hear rumours of fighting in Jos, killing one another no remorse, people are so much stucked like traffic in Lagos. A piece of advice, dont be suprised. We gotta move forward, cos we are left behind in the race-call.
