HOPING IN PAINS

 

Nigeria, my Nigeria!

Where had thou been?

Wish we could embrace or kiss your love once more

A fountain of tourism with beautiful picturesque

Friendliness and cultural heritage unlimited

The overwhelming colours of cascading waterfalls

The rosy scents of sun flowers

Captivating insects from near and far

From the undulating hills of unity

To the wonder-sea-lands’ warmth 

Stretching from one end of island to the charming tributaries

From the Jos Plateau to another Delta in Niger

From the promising infancy till another brighter adulthood

Working from yesterday till another blessed tomorrow

In silence, we’ve cried helplessly

In tears, our hearts are soaked

In war, we were born, in fears we have been raised
