Nigeria At Independence, Yet Hopeful

As the pride of our continent rolls out her drum of independence With great achievements clearly evident ; to groove an extreme life of Indulgence She blows the trumpet from her resident Once enslaved,now liberated She dances ethusiastically in triumph Her vigour and victory no longer defeated; Gradually as she outgrows her nymph and mounts up on platform elevated Her days ahead are even more green Though now myopic to see the Big screen She'll win her spurs if only we get really keen; and quit venting on her our spleen but esteem her as a Queen blame her not for the on-goings in her abode nor openly tag her good-for-nothing dry bone encourage her instead to keep up with the high-way code; and she'll sooner become the chief corner stone yelling out in a more cheerful tone Call her not a nonentity for she firmly stands as a true identity she yearns for true diplomats to uphold her dignity; as she gradually unfolds her creative ability to nurture heroes of her nativity I mean Her, our country NIGERIA a nation envied from afar by foreigners endowed with so great a treasure on every area; birthing diverse calibre of World-class designers Hoist the Flag as you go for Goals,NIGERIA!
