PresidentMuhammaduBuhari.jpg

Politics took to the stand in Naija 2015 election
When the entire country felt they wanted direction
In terms of change of governmental position
We decided to give our vote to buhari
by ensuring that everything will be done possibly
to let our voice be heard aggressively
And by protecting our vote preeminently

Nigerians in the category of heavily marginalized individuals
jobless who don’t have hope of better employment offer
and those persons who are tired of corruption scandals
decided to take to another level buhari's campaign
with every heart felt pain
You can even see it in their face
Like their life depend on the political race

Persons started placing ads of campaign on any social media platform
For family and friends to conform
To this new reform
Of positive agenda
not knowing we are digging our own wahala
When we fell into the palaver

We casted our vote
Monitored and protected it with oat
that this election is case close
So we did a follow up with channels TV
By taking record of results from TV

we connected with friends as we do the mathematics together
To see the results of our elected president who will transform us forever
With hope that our choice will be the winner

As we wait for kanu's result
A breaking news pops up
That president Goodluck made a call
A congratulatory one
The jubilation of victory was uncontrollable
Buhari made it even better with speech unbeatable
“I am for nobody and I am for everybody” he declared at the inauguration
We wanted to see his next line of action
So we glued to our TV with conviction
As we denied our wife’s telemondo on television

News started popping up of big shots leaving the country for fear of going to jail .
As we sail And wait
For what we want to claim

After swearing-in
Our light went off within Two weeks of his administrating
Person’s started asking questions as to what’s happening

Friends were like come on guys this president needs time
Almost everything has been destroyed by crime
So we decided to support him even with our life
Just as we were about to calm down and strive
Dollars increase from N190 to N280
And from N280 to N450
And even straight uptown to N530
We got confuse As we stopped calling ourselves
Everybody started looking out for themselves
With Individuals plotting our survival even from our shelves

fuel scarcity became the order of the day
price of food Items jumped at 100% rate
People started jumping into the lagoon
Because they could not withstand the situation it's happen like a cartoon

God bless the Nigerian women as The expensive nature of tomato makes them to make improvise stew with pepper and onion
The economist concluded by declaring the country to be in recession
Months later they said we are out of recession even when the pots of our food still heavily feels the depression
Our hope as Nigerians is in our strength of Progression
Even when all odds are against our succession

Somebody please tell them that with all the evil committed against us We are still very much alive thanks to God
We hope they stay alive forever to enjoy the fruits of the evil they planted

As We hope to rewrite our wrongs and make things right for our selfs when the political terrain come knocking again In 2019
