NIGERIA, MY COUNTRY

Nigeria, the giant of Africa:
A land flowing with milk and honey!
Bless'd with the best brains in the world,
Clement climate; abundant natural resource.
A country united in diversity,
What a great privilege to be a Nigerian!
With her Pyrrhic victory in 1960 ,
Has evolved from dictatorship to democracy.
In spite of her seemingly intractable crises,
The country emerges stronger.
No other force is responsible for greatness ,
Than the inscrutable ways of providence.

My country demand patriotism and service;
Allegiance and obedience to the state;
Payment of taxes and rates;
Checking crimes to foster peace;
Voting at election for good leaders;
Respect, tolerance, courage and perseverance;
Co-operation, hard work and dedication;
Brilliant ideas and constructive criticisms;
Say no to corruption, sabotage and vandalism;
Contribute to Gross Domestic Product in value added;
National integration, religious harmony and social cohesion;
And see Nigeria,my country ruling the world!
