Nigeria We Hail Thee

Nigeria we hail thee !!!

Nasty things everywhere
Indiscipline here and there
Giants looting nation to bleed
Everyday corruption thrives
Recycling of old looting gang
Ineptitude from head to toe
All angels fall none to praise.

What manner of leadership is this?
Even in God’s houses money flies.

How long shall we bind our mouths?
And see our wealth going down the drain
If only we could bark and bite a bit
Looting will cease and nation will grow.

Today we should all begin to talk
Heaven helps those who help themselves
Except something is urgently done
Every saint will perish only rogues will live
