Nigeria, Nigeria, My Beloved Nigeria

Nigeria! Nigeria!! my beloved Nigeria How you've suffered, how you've been rendered barren and useless A country full of milk and honey A country rich in people, culture and traditions Gone were those days when you were the pride of Africa Gone were those days that you were regarded as the giant of Africa Gone were those days of our founding fathers Gone were those days of the likes of Amadu Bello, Nnamdi Azikiwe and Obafemi Awolowo Gone were those days when we used to have elder statesmen Gone were those days when we have people that would strive for your unity and integrity What we are left with now are bunch of greedy and selfish politicians What we are left with now are bunch of thieves Those that illegally and unjustifiably stole their way into your heart and soul Those that bribed and cheated their way into power Those that are ready to suck and milk you dry and make you barren Those that are ready to destroy the future of our great nation Nigeria! Nigeria!! I weep for my beloved Nigeria.
