It’s another week of hive open mic, and we are here again. Getting to see War as the theme of the week, the first thing that came to my mind was Nigeria my Country. Yes! Nigeria has been at war since I was born. But obviously not the usual war you know. It’s the kind of war Asa portrayed in her song “fire on the mountain”. A war that people take for granted, yet it the most deadly of all war. Few days ago I was deliberating with my friend @ddn688 on how bad Nigerian Government has gone. We can practically speak of today’s Nigeria as a country owned by few individuals who keep mismanaging her economy, and these individuals don’t want to let go. They want to keep embezzling the resources of our father land, and that we are not ready to allow.

Allow me to tell you few things about my Country Nigeria. We are not in an actual war, but yet the Fulani Heads Men are able to kill almost every member of a whole village over disputes on Cows and farm lands. This has occurred numerously is so many communities of the country, but yet the Nigerian government practically do nothing about it. We are not in an actual war but yet Nigerian government openly shoots at her citizens for peaceful protests. We are not in an actual war yet each administration from when I was born till date (with the exception of Umaru Musa Yar'Adua who died two years after he was elected) kept on dropping the value of Nigeria economy. I can go on and on. But then...

Today as part of my contribution to week’s theme and also the ongoing better Nigerian revolution, I will be doing an original song titled Our Prayer. We believe in a better Nigeria, and so we raise our voices in prayer for that. We believe that we shall finally win this war against bad governance and god fatherism, and so we raise our voices in prayer for that. We believe that there shall be a generation where election shall be free and fair, and so we raise our voices in prayer for that.

The song Our Prayer is a solemn and spirit filled song. It’s written in Nigeria Pidgin English, and it’s simply a prayer for Nigeria. I will drop the English translation along side the song below, and I wish you pray along with me and my fellow Nigerians because we need all the prayers we can get at this point. I appreciate @jasperdick for this wonderful theme of the week. And I am sorry for bordering you all with my Country’s problem. I love you all✌️.

LYRICS

LYRICS IN ENGLISH
We pray for joy
We pray for peace
We pray better days

No food
No money in the country
No job
The youths are just angry
Poor men are suffering
Our government do not care
Every one is in tears
When will all these end

We pray for joy

We pray better days
Even though Nigeria has gotten this bad x2

We know there is no money
We know things are hard
We know the country is not good
We know the government is bad
But be believe everything will be alright
God our father will guide us
His hands will will be with us

We pray for joy
We pray for peace
We pray better days
Even though Nigeria has gotten this bad x2

The situation you describe is being lived in your country is very unfortunate. I hope it can be solved by a new government that really cares about Nigerians lives and not their own interests.

I liked the song you performed today. We need to pray very much because God always hear us.

Thank you so much @rosana6. It’s almost impossible to bring about a government of change, since the owners of the country (as I call them) do not care about elections. They practically publish there own result even when the real result is clear to all. It sound like something impossible, but it’s possible in Nigeria. The worse is that they are not even worried about the media. I really appreciate the fact that you had time to read through my post, thank you once again.

I pray for Nigeria as well - and I don’t think anyone here is bothered to learn about what’s going on in your home country.

And dude, your piano skills are ON FIRE! I absolutely love your voice, it has a strong depth to it, but still it’s soft and soothing. This is a really touching performance, I really love this original song.
