Peace held back, joy looking from afar.
Betrayal holding the ground, lives were the cost.
Slavery as business, young lives as goods.
Colonized by your business partners, help cried out but wasn't heard.
All that was needed was unity and courage.
It wasn't discovered until 1960.
The courage to fight back to own what her father lost.
Legends gave their all for their right and for generation to come.
Liberty, Peace and Joy was restored all in the name of sacrifice.
Nigeria own her father land and is free from colonies.
Happy Independence to all Nigerians.
