Nigeria's Independence Maxim

Years long ago, In Africa’s largest nation, We agreed and called it truism in notion That Independence and freedom did celebrate And the region’s state did jubilate- That colonialism and external exploit may die, In the stressful twinkle of an eye Believing that it shall rise no more We knew not the core conditions of the fore. Streets, markets and on went gay One strong aim, to herald this day But the day of independence experience Had taught gone and living consciences- That political liberation and freedom In many sad and grieved kingdom Is not and cannot be political maturity. This clarity has been known to reality. ©Daniels I. Daniels
