‼️🇳🇬‼️🇳🇬

I used to be ashamed of being who I want to be

You think because I’m a woman then I really can’t be me 

You think cause I’m black then I really can’t be free 

Well screw all your stereotypes cause God loves all equally

I wanna be the president I really want to rule 

Not cause I think I’m better cause I know what I can do 

Cause every life we lose it makes me feel so confused

Like is this really what my country has amounted to

This isn’t just a poem 

It’s a clear out declaration 

I am Nigerian it’s my home and it’s my nation 

I’m tired of killings and I’m tired of the pain 

I’m 18 and I’m scared will I see the next day 

Will I see my matriculation, my certification or convocation, or will I make it to my next birthday

This is a call to everyone who thinks that they can do better 

Everyone who knows now won’t be forever 

When you leave your country you open doors up

There’s evil there’s hate but change starts with us

Change starts with you and me 

Change starts with love 

Arise O compatriots 

Nigeria’s call obey

Because green is in my veins and I’m here to stay 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

This isn’t much but it’s something that I hope inspires you the way i think it has done to me. I wrote this while I was literally bawling my eyes out, I just know we need to do better and we have to❤️❤️❤️❤️

There’s no long talk because this speaks for itself but I would it shared so you can inspire someone else. Don’t give up the fight please🤝
