“To serve our fatherland with love and strength and faith”
The lies we hear night and day
Loud enough that it broke the heart of truth
In to pieces of weaknesses that saturated our mind
Making us pretend all was fine because
Democracy said we are free
Feigning peace and “content” in a setting of a horror movie
With our hearts trembling from the deadly chill of
injustice, brutality, corruption, nepotism and sentiment
We court the mindset, “Nigeria will be great” for years
Hoping someone somewhere somehow will workout a miracle
Alas! The labor of our heroes past is coming vain
The ugly side of democracy!
Yet I see the “national prayer” being answered
A generation of youth with bolt of unity is rising
Though bruised from democracy gone wrong yet tremendous in patience
A generation rising in love and honesty regardless of faith and tribe
Making the worn-out fabric of our being Nigerians a tapestry of honour and pride
A generation with boundless grace
Rebuilding a nation bound in freedom, unity and peace
A nation that nations will see fit to call, “Great”
This is the generation dreamt of
To make Nigeria great again.

Awesome. Make Nigeria great again.
Apt. The labor of heroes past is indeed turning vain.
