I Believe In You



My President O' my President,
Do me this favour
Build me a good Nigeria
Free from corruption
Free from robbery
Free from looting
I believe in you
So do me this favour
I know its hard labour
Build me a good Nigeria
Free from terrorism
I want to go to Borno, Jos, Benue, Kaduna without fear.
Build me a good Nigeria Free from discrimination
I want to wear jalabia and turban because I love it without being called a 'boko haram'
My President
Build me a good Nigeria
Free from segregation
I want to carry my bible through the streets of Borno without being labelled and infidel.
Do me this favour
Build me a good Nigeria
Free from unemployment
I want to get a job after graduation without frustration
Do me this favour Build me a good Nigeria Free from power outage
I don't want to be deaf by the noises of generators and plants
Do me this favour Build me a good Nigeria Free from potholes
I don't want my motorbike to be crushed by NNPC tanker or Dangote's truck because they are trying to avoid potholes.
Do me this favour Build me a good Nigeria Free from
I want standard schools for Nigerians that is so affordable if possible free for all and at all levels
Do me this favour
Build me a good Nigeria
I don't want Nigerians to be running away even to hell just to get away from Nigeria
Do me this favour
Build me a good Nigeria
Where there is standard and affordable hospitals.
Do me this favour
Build me a good Nigeria
I don't believe in politics
I don't believe in magic
I believe in Nigeria
And i believe in you.
