Independence Day

INDEPENDENCE DAY
 
Ours is a land of sage
We've come of age
Amongst the people's rage,
We're set to turn a new page.

Our dexterity, none can compare,
and drive, they surely can't bear.
Our cultures, none can beat,
but baffled by our humongous feats.

Whatever beliefs, customs, religion,
It brings us all into everlasting union.
Whatever diversity, miffs, or intuition,
we all live in here in unison.

With rivers and oceans roaring,
the Nigerian spirit is ever rearing
and surviving all impediments.
The land is green & strong like a regent.

We declare this day as our independence,
Long live Nigeria where our story begins.
