I AM A NIGERIAN.

I AM A NIGERIAN!

I'm a Nigerian
a young chap not a centenarian,
I'm a Nigerian
one that stands to the face of problems who doesn't just sit back to blame corruption,

I am a Nigerian
just like you
I want to be free
free from war
just like who?
Everyone that wants peace

I’m a Nigerian,
but not the one who fools around with girls,
who wants them to undress,
who wants to see beneath the partner of their skirts,
like the ones preying on their lack of livelihood,

I'm a Nigerian,
one who wants change,

who wants to be free from the wounded's rage,
who wants a whole country,
to exists as a knit, compact family.

I'm a Nigeria,
who doesn't just complain about those with the crowns,
how their rule is filled with deceit and antics,
I’m a Nigerian
who not only looks at these and frowns,
but the one that sought to be different.



I'm a Nigerian
who wishes some of the things you've dreamt,
with a long search for hope to make something out of the crap that we were left,
that our beloved nation was once a country but it's gone,
that the game is over although they said it is still on.

A Nigerian that submits to religion,
but not to make others mourn,
worthy of been called righteous,
but not Just pulled around by destroyers that claimed to be religious.

I know you are a Nigerian with so many questions like me,
with eyes filled with concern for safety,
with loved ones to worry about,
with leaders’ failures messing with your head,
with tears to shed for these failed institutions.

I'm a Nigerian
but I don’t know if you are a Nigerian that discerns that the answers are beyond them?
Indeed I'm a Nigeria,
are you?



Dedicated to all concerned Nigerians and our friends that we might never see again

SELVABOYE
