NIGERIA AT 56
So it's another independence holiday and almost everyone I know is doing something (writing articles, dropping singles and all), yeah, I'm surrounded by people like that. Others are just going along, joining arguments and discussing the trends in the nation. I'm about to join my voice to the song of the season, please oblige me.
Nostalgic feelings consume my heart and show on my face. Nigeria, our Nigeria, how do I stay patriotic to you? I have answered your call to live in serve freedom, peace and unity, not eschewing service in love, strength and faith. Because I long for you with great passion, I pray for you great nation.
We are all we have whatever may come of that. Still we keep believing in this nation and hope that the promise within her will unfold. Even if the desired change is elusive and unattained (yet), let us defend Nigeria, our land, our people, us. And pray the simple prayer we have always sung.
God bless Nigeria.
Dear Nigeria, I will yet boast of thee.
"Oh God of heaven, direct our noble cause. Please guide our leaders and help our youths to know the truth. Help us all to grow in love and honesty, leading just and true lives. We shall attain great lofty heights and our nation will be built, peace and justice will reign. Amen. "
