Speak Nigerians, speak for you poses a mouth that heals a nation.

It is in thine voice of thy mouth and thy vibrations on thy body that remedies spring forth.

Speak Nigerians, speak against the calamity that befall your land.

Speak against the hand that hurt thee.

Speak against the innocent blood spilled to please others.

Speak Nigerians in a united tone so your voices can be heard.

Speak to tell your fears.

Speak to make it clear.

Speak to put the nation right.

Speak to put an end to police brutality.

Speak to put an end to misappropriation of funds.

Speak to put an end to intimidation and high-handedness.

Speak to put an end to deteriorating health facilities.

Speak to put an end to weak institutional structures.

Speak to put an end to electoral misconduct.

Speak to put an end to unemployment as a normality 

Speak to put an end to poor social amenities

Speak to put an end to injustice

Speak to put an end to oppression

Speak to put an end to sectionalism played by our political elite

We are tired of freedom of speech guaranteed but freedom after speech denied

Arise o compatriot 

Arise fellow comrades in the struggle 

We clamor vehemently to put and end to bad governance 

So our future can be secure

– Ojuolape Isaac Mfa
