I weep and yell for thee.
Poverty like thick darkness
have enshroud your bright beautiful face.
When shall lasting peace and happiness abode in you?
Perhaps like a mangrove firmly rooted in the ground.
Oh! Nigeria my great country,
when shall prosperity overwhelm the surface of your beautiful land scape?
Who can decree the death of the turmoils and pestilence that is bewildering you to go through the mill of joblessness?
Oh! My great country Nigeria,
when shall your rich natural inheritance be distributed justly to the domiciliary of your inhabitants in all the nocks and crannies of your beautiful land?
And the eulogy sung to the ear of all and sundry.
Oh! How is it that fraudulent leaders have frivolously profligated the nation's wealth
and have propitiated the country's great proprietors to proponent their primeval behaviours.
Oh! Nigeria the lion of Africa,
You have brought yourself so low that ignoramus fellows toil with your reputation.
They have encumber your development.
Their erroneous and fraudulent life
have precluded peace and happiness.
Oh! Nigeria the giant of Africa.
When shall lasting peace and happiness abode in you?
Awake and arise from your deep slumber
Impetuous, impede and impair like a funeral parlour
Arise and eradicate the epidemic-joblessness
that floods your home and have like a terrible wind blows your future pilars to sleep forever in shame
Awake with tremendous circularity illuminating the thick cloud
Awake Oh! Nigeria awake!!!
Lovely poem
