Nigeria@50

NIGERIA

Nigeria, a land most blessed
A land hitherto unloved
Nigeria, a land fully clad in hope
Oh! My enviable Nigeria
Many disapprove you
What’s more, strangers seek your end

Poverty and greed sold you out
Your own flesh and blood joined…..
They joined to wreck you
Yes, desperados wanted you down
But your strong point won’t let them
You can’t walk away from your fate
The fate that holds the people together

Nigeria, you are not weak
You can’t be weak for those not yet born……..
Remember the blood
The blood of your redemption
Remember the sweat
Remember the death
No one ridicules your potential
No one provokes your freedom

HAPPY 50TH ANNIVERSARY
