Arise Oh Compatriot: NIGERIANS

Oh what a tragedy brought on humanity
How we destroy the same land we are living in
We’ve render the labour of our hero’s past
Throwing it into the sand in shame
Fighting and killing taken lives
Kidnapping and hostages are the other of the day.

Gaining powers either do or die affair
Intoxicated and drink for power
Corruption at its peak…oh!
Unemployment in the land rising crime rate
The fallen standard of education
The state of the nation.

Our country is under a siege
We’ve compounded our crisis point
At this point we don’t which we to turn to
The government...her citizens are in dilemma
What have we done…our nation is dying
Ill-reforms, election malpractice

Administrations come and go
Yet the land remains backward
Unfulfilled political manifesto
Only in spoken words not seeing the effects of the words
How long not too long we realize we’ve been deceive
Again oh! When we there be people who has heart for others

To stare the ship of this great nation
When we her citizen breath the air of relief
Of good governance upholding the rule of law
With the fear of God instill in her leaders and citizens
Those who will rule in the principle of impartiality
Not paddy, paddy government but Democracy.

O! God of creation, direct our noble cause
Guide our leaders right, help our youth the truth to know
In love and honest to grow, and live in just stand true
Great lofty heights attain to build a nation where peace
And justice shall reign…will must arise!
