"This day is special to me cos its my BFF's birthday and our fight is over, thank God, stupid fight was my fault, i guess i could have let it go but i took it personal so i could draw some boundaries but i guess we are good now. i Have to buy cake or something and make it up to her, lol!
Hi blog ville, this is what i could come up with, yeah, you knew i wouldn't complain right, i was definitely going to find something good in Nigeria to talk about because i love her".
So Nigeria is 50
I can still remember when she turned 40
I was more idealistic then
I thought we could change her just by being our best
And adding value and contributing
Today I am not a realist
I still believe in Nigeria
I believe she can still grow up big and strong
I am not ignoring her faults
I know there is still corruption, senseless deaths
Still bad roads
and not much development
If we are comparing with America
America is over 200 years old
It took her a while to get to where she is now
But that is not why there is still hope for Nigeria
There is hope for Nigeria because now
I pray for her earnestly, for me it’s not a duty
I am not politicking but when I see Oshodi, I know she has hope
When I see tarred benin roads, not one but many
I believe She has hope again
She’s 50 se
I know everyone says ‘a fool at 40’
But I believe She can improve
You and I are not waiting to be leaders tomorrow
We are leading right now by choosing right each time
We her citizens (you and I) have integrity
And courage to stand up for what we believe in
My siblings have threatened to lock me up
On election day
I know I’ll be voting next election
Not to fulfil righteousness
Not because I believe in politicians
Because I believe for Nigeria
Like I believed for America
It was like a joke
Barack, a black man won
For Nigeria,
I don’t believe for a black man
But I believe for a man of integrity
Who can take us to new levels
Why?
Because all our heroes are not dead
There is a new generation of heroes
One’s who are living
You and i
Our actions for Nigeria
Determine
Our heroism
Our heroes are not finished
There is one alive in ME
And in YOU
