AND SO WHAT? (THE COSTLY NEGLIGENCE)












A couple of intrigues in my Niger area;
I graduated with a 4.99 Cgpa
Society: and so what?

I can invent
I even built a model helicopter out of scrap and the dustbin
Society: and so what?

I am morally upright
I love and keep the laws of my father land
Society: and so what?

I work hard
Earning my money from my daily struggles
Society: and so what?

I shun bribery
I never meddle with corrupt practices
Society: and so what?

As a student I shun exam malpractice
I believe in the genuity of my ability
Society: and so what?

See I want to become a banker, lawyer or an accountant
I want to offer standard services to everyone in the society
Society: and so what?

I hope to take many kids off the streets
Ensure a hope for them and ensure they are educationally fit
Society: and so what?

Even though this terrain is not smiling
una mehn, I am just gonna keep keeping on
Society: and so what?

As a professional athlete I made sure I made my nation proud
I showed the competence and ability of Nigerians
Society: and so what?


I hope to ensure massive social support
Peradventure I rule my Nation I hope to raise many up
Society: and so what?


This is bane in our progress
In the Niger – area
The calamity of not appreciating the ideal
Has thrown us into shambles and bitter ordeals
We need to wake up
