Nigeria is 25
The odds we did survive
Arise salute the nation
Come join in the celebration...
...
Like bees in a hive we work so hard to make...
.... but not without the use of the hoe...

Can anybody remember this song? I loved it then and I still love it now. Please who sang it then? Where can I get the song or lyric? Please help! I'll give a word of prayer to anyone who can help out. Thanks.

I was 7 and in primary 3 back then. I still remember the song very well. IBB was head of state. That was when we used to receive free text-books in those day. Nigerian Airway was still in operation. Naira was more valuable back in those days.

E go betta again!

Yes! I lived in Shomolu in those days, and I remember a big wrap of sliced bread (I mean the real thing, not the yeast thing we're now force-fed) went for N1 !!!!

This one na old peoples' home thread ooo, lol. I was a bit too young to remember the details, just a very sketchy idea of it. I think IBB had only just dribbled his way into power then, and things were quite great. Na so so Michael Jackson and Bob Marley LP dem dey play for our home those days. The eighties were so lovely, really.
