256

First off, there's no place like that 256! We are a base of divergent cultures with a space enough for each to partake and taste of the mix. Mehn there's no place like the 256 On the face of the planet, We are blessed with the finest climate, that is best for the primates and yes, the world is taking pics coz there is no place like the 256. They call us the pearl of Africa, where the colors are black yellow red but the trees stay green where else can you find this but in the 256 So forget what the outside thinks. See they pick on a few things to say that the inside of my Africa my 25 stinks. but they ain't on the inside so they miss some insights and of these I speak. Yes we have problems, well every country does. And the outside only conceals their own troubles by over exaggerating ours. They make bad reports about us so they can have us, repeat the class.

They want to talk to us about class? Have they ever, thought of the fact that they could belong to a whole different school of thought from us? Before trying to program us into becoming their autobots like optimus while they masquerade behind the claim to transform us? Globalisation is good but at what price?

That your mind holds the power to make or break UG That the only way you can be free is by setting free the very way you think I mean, this is supposed to be easy as ABC but they usually won't tell you this in SST, HSC or at LDC . Consider yourself lucky if you got beaten by your parents to do what's right Coz nowadays, society justifies so many wrongs under the excuse of human rights They bring darkness, confused as light. And you can hardly smell the rat coz their fumes is right The same system my man trusted, consumed his life We are too blind to who we are to see that our future is bright So we would rather hold onto foreign gifts and presents. Majority of our population are the youth, that's by the stats given and if we exploit this opportunity then our national prayers can become thanksgiving. But if the roads are bad, how can the youth be self driven? ...(listen to the audio)
