Nigeria the Sleeping Giant

Wake up Nigeria whilst it is still day. Your darkness thickens in the hot summer sun. Wake up Nigeria from your spectators' fun. Like a titan to the slaughter, your way to financial hades might be certain. Awake, or your future is uncertain. Your teeming youth population languish in persistent erosive social crimes. Awake Nigeria from pain and anguish. Your tragedies exceed your countless births. Awake Nigeria, for these many deaths reveal a corrupt weakened armed forces. Awake Nigeria from your great slumber. Your rank in the black world has been usurped. Awake Nigeria, reclaim your number one position by treading those courses once trod, and never again to be stopped. Awake Nigeria and discern the times. Cease for good to be black gold dependent.
