Nigeria surviving the street
If we go back to the street
Where Nnamdi Azikiwe was the King
How hundred naira would have made our heart merry and sing
Nigeria would be a better place to be.
If we go back to the street
Where Alvan Ikoku was the King
Education would have been the master key
Chibok wouldn’t be a disease
Dapchi would sit with knowledge on a feast
Kankara boys would be pioneers of the east
Greenfield would not be a den for beasts
And Nigeria would be a better place to be.
If we go back to the street
Where Tafewa Balewa was the King
National policy will be sweeter than Alewa
Our bread wouldn’t lack tea or Ewa
And Nigeria would be a better place to be.
If we go back to the street
Where Yakubu Gowon was the King
Revolution and reconstruction will be on the scene
Wa zo bia wouldn’t be a sin
The terrain of unity wouldn’t be in the dustbin
And Nigeria would be a better place to be.
If we go back to the street
Where Yar’adua was the King
Vision 2020 would have been a reality
Transformation agenda would have visited our vicinity
And Nigeria would be a better place to be.
