Nigerian Africa

From Wisconsin the American walked the streets of Lagos To black Africa welcome! To the pearly continent Cradle of creation, primordial of civilizations To the thickest jungles, haven of gigantic elephants Den of fiercest lions and colourful gazelles Ours is the blazing sun, golden in the horizon Rains in seasons in the rainforest Wildest plantations, lush vegetations The mighty oaks, cedars, and irokos Our is the heights, the pinnacles Kilimanjaro, a supral-archectrural piece Olumo, a refuge, a fortess and a stronghold The towering Zuma rocks, Idanre hills, and the Mambilia plateau Ours is the depth, the length The Nile, the Niger, aquatic splendour The riches of the earth depth, oil diamond and gold To us belong the ageless heritages, a living culture The talking drums, the festivals and the dances Ours are fashion and style, regal and noble, Batik, adire, kente, Ankara and aso-oke And flowing African milk, palmwine, burukutu Ogogoro, kunnu, fura de nunu. And to us the millennium bestowed Welcome to Africa, the motherland Nigeria.
