Sam Ominyi Egwu (born 20 June 1954) is a member of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Nigeria. He was Governor of Ebonyi State in Nigeria from 29 May 1999 to 29 May 2007. President Umaru Yar'Adua appointed him Federal Minister of Education in December 2008. Acting President Goodluck Jonathan replaced him by Ruqayyah Ahmed Rufa'i in April 2010.
Egwu was former President Olusegun Obasanjo's choice to become National Chairman of the PDP at its 2008 National Convention. However, at the Convention on March 8, 2008, he withdrew in favor of the compromise candidate Prince Vincent Ogbulafor, who was chosen as an alternative to Egwu and his main rival for the position, Anyim Pius Anyim. His stay as education minister was characterized by ASUU (Academic Staff Union of Universities) and other university union strikes. This led to people demanding for his sack.
If only my tears hit the ground. You came up, instead of going down, if
Only
Just a hug, or a kiss. A handshake, anything, but I'm standing here, and
You're going down.
I'm on hollow ground, there's like a modern lone.
I know I was wrong
All the lone, is the end of our song, and I wish I could turn back the hand
Of time to bring back a friend of mine today.
Well that does fly away, thoughts of you remain.
Still I wish I could love you alive
Cause no one even thinks that it's logical
It's impossible to love you alive
Cause they think that I'm crazy but they don't know
How far I would go
I'll send you my heart, my mind, my soul
And hope that my wish could get to you
I love you alive, alive, alive... hmm...
I love you alive
(Time to say goodbye)
Nothing left, just regrets.
My heart aches over everything that I never said
I didn't know, so I didn't show
Now I'm standing here, telling you that I was wrong
But you're gone, It's the end of our song, and I wish I could turn back the
Hand of time to bring back a friend of mine today.
Well that does fly away, thoughts of you remain.
Still I wish I could love you alive
Cause no one even thinks that it's logical
It's impossible to love you alive
Cause they think that I'm crazy but they don't know
How far I would go
I'll send you my heart, my mind, my soul
And hope that my wish could get to you
I love you alive, alive... ohh.
If I could love you alive.
Cause no one even thinks that it's logical
It's impossible to love you alive
Cause they think that I'm crazy but they don't know
How far I would go
I give you my heart, my mind, my soul,
And hope that my wish could get to you
I love you alive, alive, alive, mm.
If I could love you alive.
Time to say goodbye
For the people we took for granted
Not knowing time would be so short
We didn't express the way we felt
In fact, we failed
So show our true appreciation
If only I knew
That of all the moments we spent
Only a few, would be remembered through time
Cause in time, memories fade
Life is loss, everything we got would be lost
If you don't lose it, they would lose you
