GOOD MORNING, AFRICA.  IT'S MORNING TIME!

Good morning and Wake up Nigeria,  it's morning time.
The ever delayed sun is finally rising bright and soft.  Let's
Wake up, West Africa, because it's morning time.

Would this early morning soft and bright sun signal the
beginning to the end of uncertainties?  Are we Waking up
now, AFRICA?  Yes, it's morning time.

Let's pray and hope that a long term success prevails
in the Nigerian elections underway.  Of course, if it is
to be, it is up to us.  Yes, our sincere prayers to the
Almighty for His grace and guidance that all goes well
is our inevitable and meaningful contribution.
