I Hear the Voice of Nigeria

I hear the voice of Nigeria, The silent whispers drill, From bustling markets to ancient hills. Those of the Hausas in the north, With gentle cadence in stories deeply sown. Those of the Yorubas in the west, Vibrant in rhythms and richly manifest. Those of the Igbos in the east, Resilient in spirit, never to be ceased. I hear the voice of Nigeria, The usual, varied carols blend, A symphony of tongues that transcend. The strength in diversity, A tapestry woven, intricate and free. An entanglement to commitment, A nation’s heartbeat, truly heaven sent. The force of a people, strong and true, One Nigeria, forever shining through.
