Arise ye country
arise o nation
awake from your sleep
the heart beat of africa
stand up Nigeria
and let's remould you as Nigeria again
let it be the dream it use to be,
let it be the pioneer on the plain.
Seeking a home where he himself is free.
Why has it never been free for men before.
Let Nigeria be the dreams the dreamers dreamt
let it be that great strong land of love & caring.
Where unity & peace will always abide
where never kings connive nor tyrant scheme.
That any man be crushed by one above
let justice reign in you.
O, my land bring out the virtue in you.
O my Nigeria,
o my dream
where liberty is crowned with
no false patriotic wreath,
rise up to be the land
of free and fair politics.
O, ye leaders lead our
country aright.
Let every men be of high opportunity
and let life be free,
equality is in the air we breathe
the poor breath in the air the rich breath,
so, let all be treated in the same mode,
let the masses be happy.
This land has never been equal for men,
nor freedom is this "homeland of free".
Let put away corruption
and let all put on the gown of
integrity.
This is my Nigeria
my dream NIGERIA !!!
face it, the dream that was, was nothing less than a jungle, with no internet, no cellphone, no cars, no bikes, no t.v. no cigarettes, etc...should i add no beer, brandy or whisky...the place you dreaming for is no prize its a mosquito infested dream.
if i could win two weeks holiday there, i would think im being banned from society and send there for punishment...i would have to face the mosquito's and crime, the heat and damp equator heat, what did the kings win when they got it for free/noresistance
where are the kings now? They run away, its only recently that cars was invented that run on oil...the rest of nigeria, are run and maintained by nigeria-itself...one king aint stronger than the other...what kings is this that is stronger than yours?
i would say, to be fair, one should undo everythng that was done wrong to nigeria..
And in return, nigeria would return to its dreamstate, guarded by its famous misquitos kinda flip a switch back into the dark-ages, when men was men, and they ran away..
problem is that people want to create their own history, and they never take part in it themselves, always others that caused them to be who they are...the only thng that stay was crime.
2000 years ago there was written history in other parts of the world...the history that some folks are unhappy about is that wich was recorded by other cultures, and now they get unhappy for not being what?....i m happy the word integrity was mentioned...
why dont you use democracy to choose a leader that represent the people...that is what other countries do. The Romans gave us that lesson, and they had beautiful cities 2000 years ago...we use that knowledge today.
or perhaps you are doing it, and that the leaders do represent you...well, then the people need to be cultured...why did crime became the king? What went wrong? Who govern that country, just for intrestsake, i dont know the people...
we have many nigerians that fled nigeria, why is that? But then again, your greatest export is your gangsters and drugs and internet-scams...but it is your people...
the strength of a nation is its people...you can wear a rolex, but if your family is falling apart, then how you gonna have respect? Money dont earn you respect, it is integrity that does that.
i could also chant-viva nigeria-but it is meaningless, by confronting how your country make me feel, then you know how much work you have...i cant lie, and make as if i see a future for nigeria...they have oil...but as a trustworthy nation, im sad to say
germany had less than what nigeria have, after the 2nd world war...but they are a proud nation...take them as inspiration, and i see a dream for nigeria.
