Nelson Mandela In Nigeria Poem by Ehimika Ehimigbai

Soothsayers are not
Needed to reassure
The importance of this time

Compass is not good
Enough in this case to
Direct us who is good and fine

Development all we need for
Nigeria to rejoice hah hah
Haven reaches her prime

Eyes are watching
But the truth is
That the future is mine

Cabinets contribute capitally
Little but the citizenry
Solely determines when to change

This is democracy remember
Then Nigeria will
Smile again

All to do is choose
The Nelson Mandela in
Nigeria today

Just to improve our
Capacity and character
All for Nigeria's conquest

The Nelson that will fight
Corruption like apartheid
Bring development like egalitarianism
Just like Nelson Mandela of South Africa

The right person is me
I'm the Nelson Mandela in Nigeria
I will
With God and your support
So humbly present me to you
One Nigeria, strong forever
One Nigeria, better together
