Question For the Nigerian Candidates!
You all have made a promise during your campaigns,
and said that you'll be fixing, the whole things,
that you and yours had broken;
the system, and all that we have going,
the future, when you said you was making generations, the ones that's gon be creating a better nation...
Tell me, do you all have a conscience,
or does all we see today come from a place of pretence?
are you all really ready, to give us what we asked for,
or are you going to use us like all your predecessors?
You have told us your agenda, and what you plan to do,
and that is what you should do, so we know that you are true.
Do you hear me, I'm talking to you people,
the labors and the congress, and the democrats too?
I'll be waiting for your answers, or else no vote for you,
We plan to go in masses, but it all depends on you!
