Let Us Celebrate

Let us celebrate This is not time to denigrate Nigerians rise and jubilate Cause we are poised to rethink and meditate Let us roll out the drums This is not the time to keep mum Let the air be filled with fun To drown the wailings and guns Democracy has come to stay in Nigeria history Let us celebrate a hard- won victory A milestone in the country's trajectory Prophets of doom remain confounded and desultory Nigeria the hope of the black race Rise up and keep the pace Exterminate corruption without trace And give the country a new face You are destined for Leadership A rallying point for African Fellowship Do not be deterred by the present hardship From claiming your divine kingship
