Her Independence-Nigeria

Her freedom She fought for, overcoming Hurdles' and struggles Against all odds and cost Alas! She did gain Her freedom After Her history of pain It was worth the fight. She is called Nigeria! Mother of Africa! 1st October 1960, I would not forget. Arise 'O' Compatriot. Arise 'O' Nigeria. Happy Independence day.
