NIGERIA AT 60: "UNITY IN DIVERSITY STRENGTHENS"
O Nigeria My Nation
The Land Of Diverse Ethnicity
The Home Of Several Tongue
The Nativity Of Tribes And Cultures
The Region Of Ample Opportunity
Though Variation Exists
We Stand In Brotherhood
We Progress In Unity
We're The Proof of Harmony
Where Differences Exist
The Attestation Of Strength In Oneness
O Nigeria My Nation
The Land Of Wealth And Beauty
A Cyclopean Land Of Varieties
Where Natural Resources Abound
In Terms Of Arts And Education
Creativity Abounds In My Nation
The Motherland Of Intelligentsia
The Homeland Of Agriculture
Gold, Coal And Crude Oil
All Are Found In My Country!
The Giant Of Africa
O Nigeria My Nation
Let's Unite Against Lapses
The Mighty Kingdom Is Shrinking
The Sweat Of Our Heroes
The Pains Of Our Sheroes
The Effort Of Our Forefathers
Shouldn't Be In Vanity
Lives Are Very Precious,
Let's Unite Against Killings
Corruption Is A Big Crime
Let's Unite Against Criminals
Poverty Is A Disease
Let's Find A Panacea
Unemployment And Terrorism
Let's End It Together
O Nigeria My Nation
You'll Become Great Again
If We Work In Unity Despite Diversity
And Tolerate Our Differences
To Flourish In Progresses
I Dream Of A Nation
Where Lives And Property
Are In Absolute Security
Where The Rate Of Poverty
Melts Down Like A Heated Ice
I Dream Of A Nation
Where People Are In El Dorado
With Hands Joined Together
Not Minding Our Differences
All These Are Achievable
It Is No Herculean Task
No No No No Because
"Unity In Diversity Strengthens"
The author of the above and the rest of his poems, are against our Almighty
ReplyDeleteGod, Jehovah and his son, Jesus Christ. And yet he claims to be a representative of God and Jesus Christ! His thoughts, actions and certain behaviours and low standards, prove without a shadow of a doubt, that he is NOT! He maybe baptised as one, but it is just a label to him. JWs apply what is good and righteous
standards from above, but this author (Sammy Opeyemi) DOES NOT!
