The good days of Nigeria
THE GOOD DAYS OF NIGERIA
There comes a period called harmony
In a nation called Nigeria
The hour of honest pioneers,
honest devotees,
at the point when harmony is steady similar to
the presence of the sun.
Were youngsters being protected like in the belly of their moms.
At the point when truth is viewed as truth
also, bogus are viewed as misleading.
There comes a period in a country,
at the point when genuineness isn't sold on the lookout.
At the point when lions pass go goat without dangers,
at the point when the poor resemble the rich
also, rich and influential individuals resemble poor people
be that as it may, presently it home of unscrupulousness
loaded with awful devotees and wanton pioneers
it's currently a field of shedding blood
central command of defilement and hijacking,
school of oppressors, home of contemptibility and
market to rich.
Goodness better Nigeria how have we veered off-track?
Is it a revile upon us by our dads?
For what reason would we say we are paying for things we won't ever expect?
Great Nigeria we desire to see you once more, for individuals have taken in their illustrations through the most difficult way possible.
