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
