OPEN JOYOUSNESS

Nigeria!

O! Great Nigeria!

What a nature’s gift to Africa?

A source of benison to the world

O! Nigeria

I greet you with the whole of my strength

From the joy of my heart, I hail you

With all my breathe, I salute you

From the depth of my soul, I welcome you

Now that your strengths are feeble

The tediousness of the work starts increasing

Your shoulders are bending unconditionally

The slim back, is squeezing like papers

Your stomach is filled with resilience

The face is wearing rugged look like pestilence

We wish you could only be dogged for good

Nigeria! Our Africa’s pet

The world’s golden goose

Whose land is an embodiment of fame

The inhabitants are ebulliently warmly

The greenest of all green lands

Mineral deposits in surpluses

Human capital immeasurably worthless

Indeed, Africa is endowed
