The New Nigerian

Chosen for a reason In a season Not by the dozen But individually To be born A Nigerian One who can run Through the thorns of life Without being cut By its spikes Into a family By a parent Who will not relent Making fervent prayers For the child In anticipation Of the tribulations That lay ahead The New Nigerian: One with talents Silent but efficient More active than motives Helping to live Above the perception Of corruption Making him strong With a song Above the spiral trials Of the general material beliefs The New Nigerian: One who chose to oppose The misconceptions Of the strives of life Living a purpose driven life And being juxtaposed From the affairs Of the wicked Through dwelling In the secret place Of the Most High God The New Nigerian: One who goes Against the law of gravity Moving beyond escape velocity Living in the sensitivity Of the spirit Going in the right direction Of Righteousness and True Love Facing his challenges Head-on With strength From the Almighty God Are you this New Nigerian?
