NIGERIA
A hulk sedentary on the great sovereignty of greatness
Sitting cozily amidst the great bare of corruption
Inexpedient but a definition of lost values
A nation rabidly infested by the destructive monster of tribalism
Glued with promises of faith religion unfolds
Swamped with unfaithful trailblazers
Disciples clamoring for a better state.
Right about now;
We need a scythe to graze the grass of insincere leadership
And install authentic valiant men
With the urge to curb dishonesty and injustice
Restoring the missile of veracity and justice
Loyalty all we need!
Even the reality oneness will unveil.
Traditional leaders without self-curiosity
Revealing Nigeria is one irrespective of the tribe
Fostering peace and unity among us all
Ensuring the restoration of joy left by our ancestors.
Sacred pioneers ensuring peace
Making sure we grow in love
We are tired of preaching and talking with no evolution
Show us what it means to live together
And forget what contrasts a religion from another.
With all these:
Our fatherland would mount the zenith of unparalleled success
Providing a connection between the affluent and the poor
Precisely what we anticipate will happen
If the right pace could be set.
God bless Nigeria!
