Nigeria My Homeland

The fairest land among other earthly spot She is blessed, dark and more beautiful than what other folks thought Surrounded by numerous river for bath and food Her shelve is seen with abundant oil to lubricate her food Her tent is in the west pole with giant children of African black race Call her name Nigeria, my homeland Call her name Nigeria my homeland is fast pacing The green pasture for the worlds continuous grazing Nature never frown at her and her air is so refreshing May her children that comes find caress that abolish pain Call her name Nigeria, my homeland whose soil yields gain Nigeria my homeland is filled with milk and honey The salvage ground for those whose land is angry May this land lay a bed for her babes rather than a hewn rocky cradle Nigeria my homeland is calling on all to make love our final option To raise our flag tall in the committee of other nations With love strong chord Nigeria will never face confusion Let build our land in unity instead of heart invasion Let pride in our culture instead of hatred and too much commotion Let make love our final option in building a great nation BY MICHAEL EDISON
