I NEED TO KNOW {The outcry of EDUCATION in Nigeria}:

I was condemned and humiliated, 
I was belittled and dejected, 
I was surrounded with sly full of smiles, 
I NEED TO KNOW WHY THERE SHOULD BE LAUGHTER. 

I was bruised like an intelligent idiot, 
I was thrown with all might and strength like discus, 
I was left with a mere shadow like the frowness of the day moon, 

l NEED TO KNOW WHY THERE IS ENOUGH OIL, YET AM NOT SHINING. 

I am being enslave by once time slaves, 

I am in cooperate suite, yet my beards unshave, 

I am ageing, yet, I gain strength in more age, 

I NEED TO KNOW WHO IS DISTORTING MY LEGACY. 

I have been to many countries in Africa, 
But fortunate to access a green land, combating with EDUCATION malaria, 
Moving in and out of its hysteria,  

I NEED TO KNOW HER LEVEL OF CRITERIA 
When will I be desire? 
When will my beauty be admire? 
Even those I trusted conspired, I will perpetually inspire, 
I NEED TO KNOW what you don’t know , so that you can know what I knew you don’t know.
