Oh my country, Nigeria,
My heart beats with your name,
In your land of vibrant people,
Where heritage ignites the flame.

Oh my country, Nigeria,
Echoes of past and pain,
Whispers of economic struggle,
Yet dreams like rivers remain.

Oh my country, Nigeria,
We stand amidst the strife,
A knowing in our hearts,
For change brings hope to life.

Oh my country, Nigeria,
The police, where is your might?
Political systems falter,
In shadows, we seek light.

Oh my country, Nigeria,
Our youths cry for better days,
With restless spirits yearning,
For change in myriad ways.

Oh my country, Nigeria,
How long must we endure?
In patience lies our strength,
With dreams that will restore.

Oh my country, Nigeria,
Now is the time for change,
Empower the voice of justice,
Let hope be wide in range.

Oh my country, Nigeria,
Together, we will rise,
With hearts united as one,
For a future that defies.

Happy Independence, my beloved land,
In unity, we’ll stand,
With courage and with vision,
Let’s heal by our own hands.
