Nimo, My Sweet Home, By Marcel Ike Okonkwo

Nimo, the land of great heroes where star guides And tender moon abides, And where the art in the belly of Asele institute breeds creation. From Nimo, the ancient town of brotherly love and fraternal unity A land of hope and fine dreams For people with revival dedication And excellent spirits Where the dawn of the new age Shines upon humanity. In the streams and seams of our seeking hearts Within the current of our yearning souls Down that endless desire for provision Oye-Nimo, the mother market Awaits with open arms to feed her children. A town of vibrant men and women With viral giants of the academia A mother of astute politicians Business moguls and doctors Legal luminaries and engineers A home of renowned professionals Clergy, great patriots and patriarchs par excellence With noble people of extra-ordinaire. The ancient land is not kingless Igwe Maxi Ike Oliobi wears the crown In nobility his essence is formed Oh the great lion of the Sahara Whose roar quakes the land And sends the mighty hiding He leads with all sense of commitment And unveils the great ocean of truths That lie undiscovered before his people All have made Nimo a sweet home With Nimo our sweet home Our world of opportunity Is simply unlimited and infinite Nimo Bu Enyi —A Profound Peace To You!
