We Are All Nigerian

Hey! You! Why are you demolishing our scenery?

Turning spellbound city to old monuments

Why are you causing unforgettable trouble?

Making such a big disruption and war

Homes are destitute, in great disrepair   

Why did you carouse the emblem of hate 

Hey! You! I'm talking to you!

Why did you caress racism so much?

Why did you adjacent the life of people to death house

We are all Nigerian why making us as a stepping stone

Why did you take malice as your precious job?

 I'm talking to you! Yes you!

Why are you so corrupt?

Embezzlement of all sorts 

Why are you so full of vileness? 

Making life discomfort to your own citizen

We are all Nigerian 

Hey! I'm  talking to you! Yes you!

Your conscience should baffled your throat 

Why did you connive in the dark? 

Point dagger to your own kin?

Hey! You dictator why did you take despot has your habit

Why are you so reluctant to austerity in the country? 

Why are you beckoning to tumult?

Hey! You, I'm  talking to you

Why did you eat off the country profuse?

 Like termite eat the wood

Making nation suffocating 

You are an ultra-vulture  

Why are you famishing us?

Why can’t we be what we want to be?  

We are all Nigeria
