NNEKA: Streets Lack Love

This goes out to you people in the streets
Know it is not easy to survive in this world
Where there is no love, where there is no heart
The things we say, we are, we can never be

For nearly 60 years in Nigeria,
People have been suffering from gas flaring, and pollution
Because of big oil extraction companies such as Shell, Chevron, NNPC.

They have been fighting for justice,
But the companies, Europe and Nigerian government do not seem to care,
Do not seem to be bothered, they can’t be bothered
