If only Nigerian youths recognized their position in the polity If only we know our relevance to the development of our nation If only we begin thinking towards national development Giving up greed and personal gratification Recognizing that a thriving country is a function of thriving citizens We are the catalyst that Nigerian needs To bring about the accelerated reaction That Nigeria needs yet seeks for in foreign Laboratories It is undeniable, the future is ours We either make it or mar it What we do today we would be held accountable for tomorrow Generations will not forgive us Until we shun political sycophancy Stop aiding and abetting the rigging and disruption of the electoral process Until we know that we form the greater part of the Nigerian population Until choose to stand for the truth and not necessarily the popular way Till then our dream Nigeria may never be a reality The Elections have come and gone The candidate, not those we choose I believe we did cast our votes, yet to count it did not, Our education, employment and health and indeed our future Before our very eyes is been daily ravaged And to complaining now is like folly and vain cry Yet should we end and stop, No we would not Until be crush to pieces that with stands in our way of progress It’s our future, our hope, get up and heed the call Oh how I cry, weep, pray Hope and wish Expecting that one day, one day We would get there, yes we would But faster we would arrive And our journey made easier More interesting and cheaper if only all Nigerian youths think like me.
