Chisom Ezugwu - A New Nigeria

Who are you

This is a question everybody has been asked one time or the other from one person or another

What's your pedigree, they say? Fame is not for free. That differentiates the people that drink tea from the people that saw gary

Last I checked, we're all people. You can't sit there, they say

It's reserved, it's well deserved, a name has been carved. It's for celebrity, not for an entity, who's got no ability of for

financial stability, who can't even afford utility, so bounce your liability. Who are you, they say

When it's time for admission, they say, who are you? I say, sir, that question is unnecessary

I aced the examination. I deserve this institution. They say, no, who are you

Do you know the chancellor? Are you friends with the governor? Do you down with the senator

Is your father the administrator? Are you related to the counselor? tell me, do you own a money to? Do you have enough money? Who are you

Do I have to be a Jagaband to listen to a band? Do I have to wear Vasashi to eat sushi? Do I have to be gathered by cops to visit trans cup

Do I have to wear gold trinkets to take pictures in the red carpet? Must I use an iPhone to sit on the front row

Why can't they just see me from me? Why does my wife have to be determined by the money in my account or the cartel in my found or the words in my mouth or the degrees that I have or the selfies on the

Facebook, which most are not even real. The followers on Twitter, they don't make me any better

They say exercise your franchise go cast your votes So I comply to determine who sailors the boat And on getting there I found out that they already decided Without me When I take they say who turkey

When I write, they say who's writing. Even when I laugh, they say who's laughing. They don't want to hear what I have to say

Oh, they just won't know. No host who don't pay. But I take two

I take pop at the end of the day and at the same hotel. Don't get too comfortable

Even sure betts it's not so sure. One commits a crime and his name rings a bell

They say bail him. Another commits a crime and it's not on the Hall of Fame

They say jail him. Hell, sell, criminal. You are cursed, son of haters, must pay for this

Or the criminals the one without money? When I speak at a turn, they ask me, who the hell do you think you are

I tell you who the heaven I think I am. I'm the voice of one crime in our nation, Hosanna

I'm the beginning of a new era, the end of injustice, and the beginning of power

I'm a skyscraper of peace and a true blazer of unity. I'm young, I'm vibrant, I'm strong, I'm intelligent

I'm a million microchips. I'm definitely for keeps. I've got the energy, their lack and courage back to back

I'm a story to be told, and a wonder to behold. I'm more than a conqueror greater than a governor

I'm from a deity of divinity. From a tribe of lones, no chain can binders

I'm a time bomb waiting to explode. I'm history, waiting to happen. I'm like a current of an ocean

You can't stop my floor. One day, surely we got blow. I'm the correction of their past mistakes

I'm the activation of your future estates. I'm a product of grace. I've got length of death

I'm hope for this generation. I'm the celebrity you see on television

I'm a believer. I believe that this nation can be better because we are a people of bold and truth

And because of me, because of us, because of our collective voices

I see in New Nigeria. Thank you
