Independence Day

Tonight, I come with a vision A solution to our nation's destruction I'm here to create a revolution Saying "enough of all the complaint without result" But to urge our fathers who have endured much To endure yet a little more For the emergence of the New Generation of Leaders Leaders who are taught the rudiments of service To be faithful, loyal and honest;with integrity as our breastplate To serve Nigeria not out of compulsion nor necessity But from a Heart of selflessness and Purity A Leader whose good deeds have been from childhood And not in momentum towards election A Leader who is not shady but chooses to be naked before our eyes A Leader who can withstand the pressure of filthy heads and subordinates A Leader whose actions would speak louder than his words For the great Napoleon Hill said "Great achievement is born of great sacrifice, And Is never the result of selfishness. " So we seek for a resurrection Taking that bold step to die daily to corruption For such dreams wouldn't be achieved at once But by taking the first step towards greatness Because a man who wants to uproot a mountain Must start by removing the little rocks around it We must be ready to be patriotic unto death Enough blood has been shed for the cleansing of the land The likes of MKO Abiola, Muritala Muhammed etc.. Yet their sacrifices have been laid to waste But it is never too late to begin the race So I say to you, welcome to the new era An era of change and cleansing A change that starts from today A change that starts from you For you are the change Nigeria awaits. Happy Independence Day!!!
