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. Adeola Yusuf Amuni
