Analysis of The Face Of Nigeria
Omehia Emmanuel 2000 (Port Harcourt)
"THE FACE OF NIGERIA" By E.C Omehia
Nigeria O Nigeria,
A home of natural resources
Where two rivers meet in a confluence town
Full of her leaders who bastardise the system
In a disgruntled society full of bad people
A goddess of beauty
But with spineless leaders
In a country of racial prejudice
between the northerners and southerners
Nigeria!Nigeria!
The investment of the Ivory
Were cold hearted people reside
In the land of the Living and Dead
