The green land of Africa and  giant among all

A country with plentiful resources

Built out of slavery

And guided by the principles of her heroes past

Yet Slowly becoming a forgotten story.

Oh Nigeria ,

You are a nation with abundant wealth

Served by both young and old,

you thrive on the sufferings of your people.

Nigeria,

You are bleeding heart with no face

One with a depleting economy

Driving men and women to vices

For Survival is scarce

And nothing seems to be a phase.

Leaders sit and dine,

By feeding on the nations wealth

As greed is their daily  fare

Followers, with unseen hope

gnash teeth in silence.

Oh Nigeria, my country

My heart weeps for  your future ,

Your soil is rich but hunger lingers

Your rivers flow, yet dreams remain unfulfilled .

Your people leave for greener pastures

Yet your flag speaks of green and white.

serving their father land is a burden to bear ,

For tomorrow’s promise is never guaranteed

And hopes fade with no story to tell.©️By_ANN

Will this pain ever fade ?

Will the broken heart be mended?

Is this a repetition or a prediction ?

Will the hands that built you tremble?

Will the cries of the poor be heard ?

Will Nigeria ever stand tall ?

Will the giant rise up among others?

Will your Greenland speak  or remain overshadowed?

Will this dawn break again?

Or it’s a fading memory ?
 

Oh Nigeria ,

Be Nigeria again!
