Will Nigeria Rise Again

Don't Give Up

By Victor Obanor Osagie Published 2 months ago 4 min read

In the land where the sun sets ablaze,

Nigeria's economy struggles in a haze.

Once rich in oil, now crippled by greed,

Will it rise again? That's what we plead.

Corruption's shadow looms large and wide,

Draining resources, nowhere to hide.

Leaders enrich themselves, leaving the rest,

In poverty's grip, they're endlessly pressed.

Inflation's sting bites hard and deep,

As prices soar, citizens weep.

The naira weakens, hope starts to fade,

Can Nigeria's economy be saved?

Yet amid the darkness, a flicker of light,

Resilient spirits ready to fight.

Entrepreneurs innovate, small businesses grow,

Seeds of change, they dare to sow.

From Lagos to Abuja, voices rise,

Demanding justice, ending the lies.

Education and infrastructure need a boost,

Investment and reforms, to shake off the roost.

In the hearts of Nigerians, hope remains,

Their resilience, a force that sustains.

With hard work and determination anew,

Nigeria's economy can breakthrough.

So let us not despair, nor lose sight,

Of the potential, burning bright.

For in the midst of struggle and pain,

Nigeria's rise, it shall attain.

In the heart of Africa, Nigeria stands tall,

A nation rich in culture, yet facing a fall.

Its economy, once vibrant and strong,

Now struggles amidst turmoil, feeling so wrong.

Oil, the black gold that once flowed with ease,

Now brings uncertainty, worries, and pleas.

Dependent for decades on this finite resource,

Nigeria finds itself at a critical course.

Corruption rampant, like a weed in the soil,

Choking progress, leaving dreams to toil.

Leaders promise change, but few deliver,

Leaving the people disheartened, they shiver.

Inflation rises, prices soar high,

While unemployment makes many sigh.

Youth with potential, talent, and skill,

Find opportunities scarce, an uphill drill.

Infrastructure crumbling, roads in disrepair,

Electricity flickers, leaving many in despair.

Investment dwindles, both domestic and foreign,

Leaving the economy wounded, deeply torn.

Yet amidst the darkness, a glimmer of hope,

For Nigeria's resilience is hard to elope.

Entrepreneurs rise, with innovative might,

Seeking solutions, striving for flight.

Diversification becomes the anthem's refrain,

As agriculture, tech, and services gain.

Harnessing talents, resources, and land,

Nigeria charts a new course, hand in hand.

Education becomes the cornerstone,

Empowering the youth, the seeds to be sown.

Investing in skills, in knowledge and know-how,

Nigeria's future begins to glow.

Reforming institutions, battling corruption's scourge,

Nigeria embarks on a transformative surge.

Transparency, accountability, rule of law,

Laying the foundation for growth to thaw.

International partnerships, collaborations galore,

Open doors to opportunities, to explore.

Trade flourishes, investments pour in,

As Nigeria's economy begins to spin.

It won't be easy, the road ahead is steep,

But Nigeria's spirit is one to keep.

With determination, with grit and with pride,

Nigeria's economy will rise, no need to hide.

For in the hearts of its people, lies the key,

To unlock the potential, to set Nigeria free.

So let us dream, let us work, let us strive,

For Nigeria's economy to flourish and thrive.

I write you today with a message of hope, resilience, and unwavering belief in our nation's potential. Despite the challenges we face, I firmly believe that Nigeria will rise, stronger and better than ever before.

Yes, we acknowledge the hurdles. The economic struggles, the political uncertainties, the social disparities – they are real, and they are daunting. But let me remind you, greatness is not measured by the absence of obstacles, but by the courage to overcome them.

Look around you, see the vibrant spirit of our people. We are a nation blessed with boundless talent, creativity, and determination. Our history is testament to our resilience, our ability to triumph in the face of adversity. From the struggles of our past, we have emerged stronger, more united, more determined than ever.

Let us draw inspiration from our rich cultural heritage, our diversity, our collective strength. Let us harness the power of innovation, entrepreneurship, and collaboration to drive positive change. Let us stand together, as one nation, one people, with a shared vision for a brighter future.

Believe in the power of education, for it is the key to unlocking opportunities and unleashing our potential. Invest in our youth, for they are the leaders, the innovators, the change-makers of tomorrow. Embrace diversity, for it is our greatest asset, enriching our society and driving progress.

Yes, the road ahead may be challenging, but let us not be discouraged. Let us be guided by optimism, by hope, by the unwavering belief that better days are ahead. Together, we can build a Nigeria where prosperity, equality, and opportunity abound for all.

So let us rise, my fellow Nigerians, with renewed determination and resolve. Let us work tirelessly, shoulder to shoulder, to build the Nigeria of our dreams. Let us be the architects of our destiny, the champions of our future.

For I am confident that Nigeria will be better. Our best days are yet to come, and together, we will make them a reality.

Thank you, and God bless Nigeria.
