POETIC INSIGHT: NIGERIA - A poetic plea.

This is a piece dedicated to the positive Transformation of Nigeria.

We yearn for change, positive change in all areas of our National Life. And Amanda-era actively embraces the NEW MOTION; the motion of positive Revolution.

 

NIGERIA: LAND OF GREAT SPLENDOR,

OF BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WITH GRANDEUR.

 

NIGERIA: A NATION OF INDIVIDUAL NATIONS,

BECAUSE OUR GREATNESS SURPASSES ALL.

 

BLESSED WITH TREASURES BURIED FOR POSTERITY’S HARVEST,

OUR GIFTS ARE DEFINED IN BEAUTIFUL RADIANT SPECTRUMS.

OUR UNIQUENESS EMBOLDENED BY OUR COLLECTIVE DESIRE TO SURVIVE.

 

 

NIGERIA: THE LAND OF EAGLES AND GIANTS;

LIKE TWO SIDES OF A COIN,

THE LESSER PORTRAYED FOR TOO LONG.

 

NIGERIA: THE SLEEPING GIANT,

THE SLOTHFUL-HARVESTSMAN.

THE PRETENTIOUS CONCOCTIONIST.

THE GALANT SOLDIER OF INTERNATIONAL PEACE.

 

 

NIGERIA: A LAND WITH GREAT POTENTIAL.

MAROONED WITH THE CURSE OF GREED;

THE CAUSE OF OUR PRESENT STRAINS.

 

ARISE! NIGERIA, ARISE!

SHED OFF THIS GARMENT OF MEDIOCRITY;

THE SHAMEFUL GARMENT YOU’VE POSED WITH FOR SO LONG.

JETISON THOSE SLOTHFUL SHOES;

WITH WHICH YOU’VE WALKED IN FOR TOO LONG.

 

TAKE A BATH, CLEANSE YOUR SELF;

OF THE STENCH OF GREED,

THE CAUSE OF OUR PRESENT CURSE.

 

ARISE! O! NIGERIA, ARISE!

FOR SLEEP TIME HAS LONG ELAPSED,

AND NATIONS ARE HASTILY FINE-TUNING THEIR CRAFTS.

ARISE! O! NIGERIA, ARISE!
