Deep down inside our nations
Soul
A sick dwells that's very
Old
Its corruption no one can deny
In all aspects of our life it affects
You and I
In every place before you
Progress
“Settle me please” becomes “Next” after
“Next”...
Sometimes it even boils down to
Sex
"I no go do"
"You must do am"
"Na lie"-"Ok"
"Let's see if you pass exam this way".
In schools or in our market place
Corruption digs deep to our own disgrace
Police men are all the way
Collecting bribes
For the sake of our small naira
Aborting all dignity and merit
Without counting their dignity and
Respect.
A small child has even learned to cheat
His own parents when left to sell meat
Killing the integrity Youths should
Inherit
Though poverty does have a major role to
Play
It cannot be wiped out in one day
If we simply review our activity
And conduct all business
Transparently
Less chance will be for anyone to steal
Meaning many others can be least have a meal
And together, we can move on to proud
Other basic needs for all to survive
Education, shelter, food and
Clothing
Can all be had without corrupt nature?
Light, water, communication
With no single complication
Youths should stand up to the call
For a corruption free
Nigeria
For Nigeria can be better and even
A corruption free society.
