Education With Positive Influence

When education was sitting in the driver's seat of Nigeria's affair The youths were blooming with special skills to solve despair Didn't you read Balewa and his kinds ruled Nigeria in their prime Thanks to quality education they showed the world a good paradigm That's when Nigeria was a good venue for summit attendees For education we built Boko-Bandit free societies The table has turned everyone is on the run Education now suffers from knocked-knee everybody wants a gun Those who enjoyed those oodles of free quality education Now offer an oker of dismay in their noodling to offer a good provision Those that should retire and go into farming Held on to power despite noodling due to aging Their desperation to roll back the hands of the clock Made them tamper with their ages and thus created a gridlock Which by extension grew into every profession Aren't you aware that corruption or malpractices are like transmission And the leaders that bear the switch to prevent circulation Offer distraction with provision of poor education Such that the youths that should saddle affairs like the generation that Awo led Have become fed with corruption like dogs that have become overfed Supposed industrious-university students are forced to sit at home Denial of quality education makes them wear-out like unplated chrome Sadly some aged chuckling grin noodles will say they incline to sloth Whereas their leadership style is what makes many wear laziness like a cloth The responses to the malpractices that crept into our schools From numerous trending misbehaviors, seem like some leaders use them as tools Whether they are fostered by parents, schools or student-s They'll decline with the kinds of Obi as our president
