FOR THIS YOUNG GENERATION I HAVE A DREAM


I have a dream I have a dream that One Day This nation Will Be a Sun ray It will be one of the major powers of the world We’ll be energetically independent I have a dream that This young generation will stop their phone slavery to write their history Our sisters will turn off their selfies cover their bodies do their duty to show how worthy is their country This young generation will be a generation of designers not of users of manufacturers not consumers of exporters not of importers I have a dream That university student will not have to be in class at 4:00 Am for a lecture that he has at 8:00am That high school student will not be expelled from school for school fees or because his teachers are on strike. That we’ll able to write and speak our own languages then they will be no more illiteracy so that school boy in exam class will not going to stay in home while his mates are sitting for exam because his parents didn’t withdraw his birth certificate ignoring its importance. That the right to education for girls as a priority and that of boys will be respected and punishable in case of any violation all across the country. That this nation will return to his place Latin Quarter of Africa I have a dream that this nation will be a place where Water is free of charge for everybody Flood for the inhabitants of Cotonou and its surroundings will be a bad memory. Motorcycle taxi driver will not be an option after graduation Cybercrime will not be a career and, Not be born rich will not be a barrier to succeed I have a dream of A new era of politician who works for common interest and for change and no personal interest and revenge A new down in which laws are respected and not just written down . A nation where every city has their university hospital center with all the necessary instruments that meets the technological standards, with every citizen insured. I have a dream of a Benin. With no social injustice . With no vidomegon phenomenon. With no corruption . With no segregation With no discrediting allegations With no polution With no political manipulation With marginalisation With no child traffic. Because we are young generation Because we are the hope of this nation Because we are the strength of this nation We can and let us change Yes we can and let us change this nation by our knowledge Peace!!!!!
