Africa, my great Africa! The cradle of civilization The first light sighter Africa, the giant humiliate Wake up dear Africa Africa broke the chest of wisdom Africa smacked the lock of lights Africa gave knowledge to the world Africa trained all Thinkers of the world  Africa got humiliated in repayment Our fathers were made slaves Our mothers, sisters and daughters raped Our children were destroyed before us Our freedom called but halfway Africa fights for the half freedom Nearly a century now, we've fought on The gains are much but about to go Who do we want to serve in Niger?

The sun, moon, stars and fire They all brighten the paths Their differences don't matter They don't matter in the dark  The light is all that matters  We don't mind your part in faith We don't care of your rituals We're not concerned a bit  We all just want salvation The people should decide When they can't then it's flawed The people need help at glaws The people help the people It's a fight many and a few Democracy is of the majority How do the majority fair or feel That's everything about democracy What matters is the people They processes can be pretentious But the result tells the essence And the essence is the reality The reality is all we want The people's choice is democracy Election choose the leaders Coups choose the leaders When the choice is popular Then democracy is served Elections can be coups Coups can be elections They're interchangeable What matters is the people Where are the people in this Nigeriens are happy Nigeriens are

The Presidential Election is far from being over yet. Since February 25th, 2023 Nigerians have begun a new journey to nationhood and their destination is so clear and known to them. They want a new Nigeria and they believe it is possible. From the moonless Yakubu midnight when the INEC Nigeria announced their fictitious election result and declared Mr. Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the winner of the election, it has been an uneasy calmness across Nigeria. There is palpable air of uncertainty hovering across Nigeria. There would have been an unimaginable height of hopelessness and helplessness except that hope is simmering from the seat of Mr. Peter Obi and the Labour Party (LP) in the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT). Nigerians have argued that there is no need to trust the judiciary knowing that they live in a different firmament where justice cannot survive.
