Nigeria Is 50-Golden Green,Whitish Gold
NIGERIA IS 50-GOLDEN GREEN,WHITISH GOLD
Sallah is just a breathe away,
I hear the bells jingle
Like Christmas and New Year
Come to mingle.
Summer is just a step away,
I hear the birds beckon
Like light and water
Come to reckon.
Regards to Lugard,favour above,
Honey and spice,well and manna
Come to dwell on our land
Peace from above come aboard.
Azikiwe,Balewa,Awolowo,
Men of honour and valour,
I hear the well of blackgold
Smell of riches and wishes.
I wish to be in El-dorado,
To live in the city with electricity,
When the minute of resolution comes
The moment of solutions shall adorn.
Oh God of creation arise,
Let our leaders think aright,
Corruption is pestilence revolt on creation,
Tell them the ways of justice to trail.
