Poem Title:
Poem
57 years aback, Millions of ebony shinning skinned individuals, Meddled in this part of the world to form a country named Nigeria. From the stand point of crudeness, How Ignorance bred colonialism. A sting never to be forgotten. Those brutal stripes our fathers had borne, So much hard work for no cost at all. We were slaved night and day. Although split into various clusters of ethnicity, Colonized by people who saw us not as humans but animals. At the clock of 1914 we were amalgamated, controlled by one headlight of power. As time went one, the baton of leadership was dragged, From the hands of our dear colonial masters down to us. We debated between military rule and democracy, And weighed more in strength for democracy. We have only but stood for one government, A government of the people and for the people, as the rule of law prevails ever ramifications. Through this journey, states were created out of regions, It spelt the beginning of a split into diversity. And yet we have survived all attacks on unity. We have delved together in pains, cried alongside in times when blood was shed. We have held strong to oneness, moved from one tenure blissfulness to another of pain. We are proud to stand tall to corruption with a blossoming economy. We have learnt to love, to accommodate justice in our hands, And to boastfully prevail over diversity. From the North, West, East to the South, Nigeria being so rich in nature's heritage has produced fertility. we have a large choice of wealth, Ranging from agriculture, oil produce to other natural resources. Education has spread forth its wings, and has embraced us to knowledge. We have held strong wisdom as key to work wonders in and out of Nigeria. We are 57 years stronger. From crudeness we have journeyed through ignorance to certainty, moved from dependence to freedom. We are a sovereign Nation, self substitent, powerful in influence and blest by God. The Giant of Africa- Nigeria
