HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NIGERIA

Today, I am sixty-four years young; my spirit sings.

To those who stood for me, I salute and praise,
Your sacrifices and love, forever in my gaze.

To the brave hearts who fought for my independence,
I hail thee; your courage sets me free.

To the fallen heroes and heroines,
Your legacy lives on.

To the present generation, I say:
Treat me better, harness my resources, and make me great.

I have abundant treasures, fortunes to share with love and care.

Let my story be told, my voice be heard;
Manage me better. 
Happy birthday.
