Nigeria You Fail Us

Our leader failed to deliver Loss guide in their night watch. Share the national cakes within their friends Lock the poor outside the city to eat the dungs of cows and pigs Walk majestical with their AGBADA, Pride within their reach. Ask us to pray, who will pray? When they have curse the holy ground. Use media to speak of thousands deeds, The poor speak of nothing done, Oh! who will deliver us from this slavery Only the rich win election: Bags of salt and rice in the air Money fly in air like plane moment of election speak Promises and fail. You failed us all.
