Analysis of Nigeria
They were made to make the order
Instead, they killed the mothers
Made the bond go asunder
Made the children go through disorder
Leaders of tomorrow
They turned to cobblers
Walking, you have to watch the corners
Out of the shadow comes a murderer
"Hands up everyone, your back to the altar
Don't even think of calling on the father"
Next week Sunday we conduct the burial
Peace and unity we chant in the anthem
But, is there Peace in this country of ours?
