False Balance.
Except politics without principle
Leadership without followership,
Knowledge without character,
and judgement without the fear of God
reside no more in our land,
all there be is woe.
Except wealth without work,
Position without merit,
Riches without worth,
Business without human face,
and pleasure without conscience
all but flee our land,
all there be is woe.
Except religion without politics,
Worship without sacrifice,
Living without liberty,
Peace without the God of peace,
all in one stride give their strenght to the grave,
all that we stand for as a nation shall shortly wither.
Except federation without love and unity,
Constitution without equal rights,
Election without mandate,
Democracy without the will of the people,
all make way for the rule of God in Nigeria,
all we stand for as a nation shall shortly wither!
