“WHERE IS OUR CONSCIENCE?”
Don’t we even have a conscience?
Where is the love we used to share?
Where is the peace that held us together,
In the early days we all remember?
Our heroes’ labour turning into ashes,
Wasted right before our very eyes…
And still we act like nothing’s happening—
Oh what a shame on us tonight.
Chorus
Nigeria, arise again…
Let the light break through our pain.
We cannot keep pretending,
While our land is slowly ending.
Nigeria, arise again…
Let unity be our song.
Bring back the love we’ve lost—
This nation must belong to all.
Verse 2
Hundreds dying every day,
Leaders busy planning for elections…
What kind of heart can watch in silence,
While the children perish with no protection?
Oyo’s sons and daughters crying,
Teachers taken, futures fading…
And still we bow to failed promises—
Oh what a shame we keep repeating.
Verse 3
Every corner of the land is burning,
Yet we say “all is well” with trembling voices.
No light, we walk in daily darkness;
No water, yet we have no choices.
The schools are weak, the fuel is rising—
But hope is stronger than the fear.
If we unite and stand together,
A brighter dawn can still appear.
Verse 4 (New Verse)
Leaders, hear the cry of your people—
Stand for truth and not for greed.
Rise and fight for this great nation,
Give the poor the hope they truly need.
Stop stealing all our tomorrow,
Stop breaking what you vowed to build.
Nigeria calls for honest service—
Oh lead with love, protect this field.
Chorus (Repeat)
Nigeria, arise again…
Let the light break through our pain.
We cannot keep pretending,
While our land is slowly ending.
Nigeria, arise again…
Let unity be our song.
Bring back the love we’ve lost—
This nation must belong to all.
My name is Sam Fortune!
Let's make this country work!
The citizens are not asking for too much! Make things work is all we asked for!
