Happy Birthday Nigeria

As our nation turns a year older
let's lend our hands and shoulders
to lift Nigeria higher than it is
and proffer a solution to its incurable disease;

In unison let's say no to corruption
and yes to halal consumption.
Let's pray for God's mercies and blessings
and from our mistakes let's draw lessons;

I love you Nigeria, the pride of the continent
I send you my warm compliment.

Gali Da Poet!
