Nigeria, my country
Nigeria
Nigeria
And in Africa,
A country of diligence,
A country of honour,
A country of peace,
A country of value,
In the third largest continent
Nigeria
Although there are few lapses we can revamp
A wonderful place where there's nothing called racism
Something called respect
Fertile soil
Best of all
A land of great icons in works diligent
We hail that our great and revered black nation, our land of human redemption
God arise and take your place as sovereign Lord.
Enthroned thyself in Nigeria's seat of power
Make her edicts and laws the eternal word
Let her justice prevail in her courts by the hour
A place you can acclimatize to
With different tribes and cultures
United we stand
Divided we fall
A spectacular country
By: Zainab Umar Alkali
