Motherland
My beloved country,
In love,unity and luxury;
Radiantly shining in her livery nature,
Beautiful in style and rich in culture.
My dear motherland,
In love and unity band;
I like to love you best,
All lifetime,till i'm laid to rest.
If I wander on a foriegn strand,
I'll ne'er forget my native land;
Her praise will ever be my song,
The source from whence I sprung.
The country of my great ancestor,
Never will i be a traitor;
In love and unity onward go,
'Tis definately my only goal.
O'er land,in the air,o'er mountains and on sea,
I will make all the people see
I'm an african-nay,a Nigerian boy,
Oh,I'm proud of my native soil.
