THE DILEMMA OF BEING A NIGERIAN
Nigeria is bad
Things are not in order
Nigeria shall be great"
Melodies of the day
Echoing
from my infant
Resounding; till now
Why should I pass
This same message of heresy;
To the unborn?
Helpless, my thought wanders
What shall I do?
"I pledge to Nigeria my country
To be faithful, honest and loyal
To serve Nigeria with all my strength"
Tunes of the day
Echoing
From my infant
Resounding; till now
Why should I pass
This empty vow of debt;
To the unborn?
Helpless, my thought wanders
What shall I do?
"Arise O' compatriot
Nigeria calls obey
To serve our father's land"
Choruses of the day
Echoing
From my infant
Resounding; till now
Should I tell
To the eardrums
Of the unborn
No one has answered the call of Nigeria?
Helpless; my thought wanders
What shall I do?
The pasture is greener at the opposite valley
Corruption is the surname of nigerians
Do your best and leave the rest
Ballads of the day
Echoing
From my infant
Resounding; till now
Why should I pass
This sermon of doom
To the unborn?
Helpless; my thought wanders
What shall I do?
