Best Nigeria Poems

We have toiled for long
Our forefathers have trend the path
And made their mark
And the rest is history

We have had our share of sorrows
We have had our share of victories
Battles we won, battles we lost
But amidst all these

All we see ahead is our bright future
Although our...

A place that gives wings to my dreams
And hushes my fears, worries and screams
Where I’d develop stronger wings to fly
Rising so higher, touching the blue sky
That I dream and pray it ends not as dream...

I wake up every
morning
to ask myself
'what's happening'?
God gave us oil in
the Delta,
waters in the Benue
and Niger,
mineral resources
all over.
Though we've no
natural disaster,
but we got loopholes
that need plaster.
And now we are
falling assunder,
that is making me
wonder,
am even behaving
strange like an
anaconda.


We still survive
under the millitary
suppression,
not even to mention
the oppression...

Let Nigeria be Nigeria again. 
Let the flag demonstrate peace 
Let the coat of arm be unity, 
Let it be the hero it used to be. 
Let it be the dream that elevate, 
Let it be the love it used to be, 
Uplifting its masses...

THE NIGERIA I KNOW


The Nigeria I know is a great nation
Free from bribery and corruption.
She house the most educated people on earth,
Shielded by a thousand legion of warlords.
Protruding bellies with nothingness are not
seen pleading around in the carcass of the state.


The Nigeria I know is...

Nigeria! Nigeria!! my beloved Nigeria
How you've suffered, how you've been rendered barren and useless
A country full of milk and honey
A country rich in people, culture and traditions
Gone were those days when you were the pride of Africa
Gone were those days that you were regarded as...

Nigeria, the Soul of my Pride (Part One)
Nigeria, my country, where mournful of pledges aren’t reneged?
Indomitable she would have maintained, if crowns aren’t clowns
Gyrating on the mishaps, wearing wan gumption—unwelcome!
Ears do attend; but eyes haven’t yet seen what watery mouths do speak (of).
Roasting are to...

Country
Diversified, confused
Crying, bleeding, dying
A people victimized by 'politrickcians'

Naija police
Political partisan
Soul as tattered as vestment

Lost in country confusion
Kill to eat
Cannibalism of self...

Nigeria. 
The country of my birth. Beautiful in youth. Wrinkled as the years pass by. Through no fault of hers. But by the doing and undoing of her children, consciously and unconsciously.
Blessed by God. Impoverished by mankind.
Struggling for self-liberation but incarcerated by wicked and egoistic...

As our nation turns a year older
let's lend our hands and shoulders
to lift Nigeria higher than it is
and proffer a solution to its incurable disease;

In unison let's say no to corruption
and yes to halal consumption.
Let's pray for God's mercies and blessings
and from our mistakes let's...

We Are One (Nigeria Remix)

Ever seen an eagle feeding like a vulture?
Dignity trampled on, where corruption is a culture?
Darkness threatens her future, cause of her shapeless structure 
it’s saddening 'cause she’s been richly blessed by Mother Nature
Disunity like a knife tryna cut her apart
Of the...

When
'The Arrow Of God' is
'No Longer At Ease'
'Things Fall Apart'
'The Voice' of
'The Enemy Within' 
'Whispers At Dawn' saying
'Weep Not Child' as
'The House Boy' named
'Maru' looks at
'The Sterile Sky' and
'The People Of The City' run after
'Samankwe And The Highway Robbers' up to
The Juju Rock
Where lived
'The Black...

I could hear in my head their thousand shrill cries
While their homes burn, their throats slit,
Unpleasant thoughts of the bloods of the innocent
Bring sadness and tears to my eyes!

What has happened to the human soul 
That run through men of this beloved country;
It grieves my...

Nigeria,my country,
I remember you with mixed feelings
A great contraption
A mere geographical expression.

You have never been a nation!
A mere colonial creation
A time bomb awaiting explosion

You were marked for greatness
Epitome of God's kindness
But shying away from your destiny
You mask yourself in mediocrity.

You are a bundle of contradictions!
Steeped...
