It is Election Time Nigerian Youths Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by Henry Ekwuruke, Nigeria Apr 13, 2007
Education , Peace & Conflict   Opinions

  

We all need to know this
It has to be told as a short story
But the lines of our fore-fathers has never
been this great and kind in our history

Our generation is a great one
Deny Nigeria and deny yourself
Today we knew ourselves by name
by action we commend and commit our purpose

Our values, our pride
Cos it is our vote that counts
Young man, and young women
It is here with us and in us

The ability to respect our opinion
Service our debts and take charge
It is a 21st century of youth
Leadership at our side and within us

Leave it and the elders take it
A greater population that would suffer for it
Mistakes and sins of me and you
The fathers and mothers are great people

We acknowledge that but..
we need chance, we probably needed space
Our choice is our future and
The future is not far but here with us

It is Election time once more
Youth, the ones of Nigeria
Hearts and energy of the nation
It is election time again, a time to take charge!
