NIGERIA@60
Thoughts of the Nigeria I love
Now my ink and pen moves
This destined and blessed nation
Fills now my contemplation.
A land of unlimited opportunities
Blessed with rare skills and talents
A people industrious and diligent
Nigeria- The Giant of Africa!
Nigeria glows and gleams with green
Fruitful and in no way barren
A land of peace and unity
Her citizens assured of security.
A land of unbelievable riches
Garnishing the earth with surplus food
Blessed by God so graciously good
With trees and tusks,youths and fruits.
East, west, north and south
Her diverse tribes spread about
Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba
Dominating as pillars.
A land of untrammeled tribes
Varied in culture,each rich in their heritage
United by one anthem and pledge
May peace,faith and love be imbibed.
A land of unity and freedom
Undaunted by the uprisings of saboteurs
Still like the eagle she swiftly soars
Still she shines like a beacon.
A great and vast country
Blessed with beauty and bounty
Embellished by mountains and rivers
Rocks, minerals and oils of the Niger delta.
A land of unprecedented human resources
Rich in crude oil,salts, and flowing fountains
Embellished by rocks,rivers, and mountains
The abundance of energy and mineral resources.
A land of ubiquitous greenness
Freshness,fruitfulness, and fertility
Nigeria,our beloved country
Nigeria-The giant of Africa!
Smiled upon by nature’s face
With brains and rare skills graced
Rich in her cultural heritage
Works of art, theater and stage.
That’s the country I love
Crowned with dew from above
So I tell with sheer delight
I tell of our beloved Nigeria!
