I could not close my eyes.
Sleep, a thief stole me.
If you say no, then
you are afraid.
This life is not sweet.
Inside,
there is always sourness.
We have arrived,
and everyone cried.
no reason to cry.
If you asked,
The answer is the leaders.
wow! I couldn't understand.
Who is it that is restricting us?
It's us; we've made it hard for us.
No, it is our leader.
hmm!
We don't like the truth.
We really want cheaters.
who promise to make meat pumps for us.
our vote-buyers.
They are the buyers of our rights.
We know them and refuse to fight them.
because of poverty and starvation.
They created poverty and hunger.
to collect honey from our bees.
They created a conflict.
In the south-east,
there is a biafara.
In the south,
there are militants.
In the south-west,
there are OPC and Afinafere.
In the north-east, there is boko haram.
In the north-west, there are some kidnappers.
In the middle of the north, there are forest bandits.
So which one will we endure?
And how do we do it?
There is bitterness in this life.

My country will have wings to fly.
As long as there are young people like Betta Edu,
She will make my country fly into the sky.
I can see Betta Edu.
A woman like many men.
She is fearless, and she is brave.
A true politician is not a snake in the grass.
Edu is a very hefty elephant.
She is a tiger that doesn't bite.
because her gentility is soft.
And she's a very charismatic lioness.
She deserved leadership.
She is originally from Cross River.
Women, there, they are not joking.
They are known to be peaceful.
They don't have any ethnic or sectarian beliefs.
Everyone is hers.
Hausa is all hers.
Yoruba is also all hers.
And also, Igbo is hers.
The south and north are all hers.
Men and women are known to everyone.

The elephant collapsed to the ground.
Since the cat rubbed the elephant's nose.
So unexpectedly!
The cat had awoken.
She realised their parents were the same as the lion.
The tiger is also the cat's aunt.
So why would she be bothered by an elephant?
The cat is now self-sufficient.
She caused others to look down on the elephant.
And now,
they cut ties between them.
This day is sweet for us.
The cat started to have a chance.
Today, there is no more oppression.
if an elephant looks at a cat.
The cat will respond.

Love, the natural dark,
Love, the natural light.
If betrothed in love,
has been gone into the dark.
If betrothed in love,
has been brought into the light.
But I don't know which one.
Light or darkness
when betrothed in love,
So don't come out.
If not betrothed in love,
then don't betrothed.
because there is darkness in it.
and there is light.
except,
It is not known which one will be betrothed.

It is morning.
eyes were opened,
The lips yawned.
stomach, and hunger.
and couldn't wake up,
or get up from the mattress.
What day is this?
eyes looked above.
the nose breathes.
the ear, it listened.
The mouth is twisting.
hmm! It is very hungry.
Today's weather is green.
It seems to be good.
We will definitely enjoy it.
When we go out into our surroundings,
O Allah, make our lives fit.
O Allah bless our blest.
With Your blessing, O Allah

It is time to call it quits.
It is time for you to go back to the West.
Throw in the towel on the Black Sea.
You, too.
The time has come.
Come together and act as a team.
I am not talking about religion here.
My voice contains a human element.
This is a gratuitous insult.
You and your nations are powerful, but you are helpless.
You have no authority over your belongings or yourself.
It is something I keep saying.
That is all there is to it.
Otherwise, everything is possible.
I swear by Allah, the Creator of All.
I swear by Allah, the Almighty.
One day, Gaza will feed you calabaza.

We are young.
Tomorrow,
we shall grow.
As it is being said,
young shall grow.

We are tomorrow's leaders.
If we were given the light,
we would keep it until tomorrow.

Of course,
The light will diffuse.
It will spread until tomorrow.

But if we are given the dark,
We will hold it until death.

Indeed,
Darkness will spread.
It will spread to the grave.

Give us the light.
Give us the light.
Take the darkness away from us
and light us up.

No doubt,
One day, we are tomorrow.
