Connecting with a child and insist they become the best they can possibly be
Stopping child labor and bringing the kids to school to be educated
We need to see a situation from our child's point of view
Why not be the person you needed when you were a kid to children around you
When you educate a kid you empower that kid
Education is the key to reducing poverty, eliminating inequality, building ethics and innovation

Some people say they is recurrent patterns of unequal distributions
A nation will not survive morally or economically when so few have so much and so many have little
Inequality a race of unfairness so think the poor
Where by status, class and circle have now cause division
Hard work, persistent and resilience can the lead the way out
You say life isnt fair
Nothing is fair
Who are we going to blame for that
We got different war and different pursuit
The world will never be equal
So for things to change you have to be creative and productive
Searching in the dark for a new start
Would they silence us for speaking the truth
Bullet in our head
Knife in our heart
Pain and strife in the heart of the youth
The youth reaching for freedom
Freedom from oppression
Freedom for unequal right
Freedom from imaginalization
Would the struggle for a better Nigeria continue
Would the Lekki toll gate killings stop us
Or the arrest the youth stop us
Or their fake promises stop us
Let's pray and fight for a better Nigeria
The leaders said we are lazy but the only prison is fear and the only freedom is that we stand together for better Nigeria
Suffer nor dey tire you
No Retreat No sureender

Humanity in Religion - - >
Understanding
Let's unite and let's rebuild the love and harmony
Let's fight the hate together
Hate has no religion
The ignorant masses fuel the fire of disunity
Empathy and love can give us peace
In all we do let's not fail the society as human beings
Let's rise from the stone and stick days and be civilized
Let's be realistic
Because the view we adopt for ourself profoundly affect the way we lead own life
So let love lead in our heart

This year let's join hands and say no to Rape
With the rise of rape cases in the world
Girls are no more safe
While walking somewhat away to office, college or market
People aways blame the girls for being the cause
Girls don't get raped because they were not careful enough
They were rape because someone raped them
Sweat from the struggle on the sheets, blood in their mouth
Memories like tattoos in their mind
Being a victim of the merciless
Choke on a sob as his heinous act is carried out
Feel the roughness of his figertips at the base of her back
Felt her body being ripped out of her soul
Lost in her thoughts
Tears dropping
A soul fighting
Fighting to escape
Fighting for a door of freedom
Screaming! But no words heard
Can you feel her pains??
Eyes filled with untold stories
A past to let go
Felt like leaving this casket called body
Because the sickness of rape just keep increasing
