"The sun rises over the Niger's shore
A new day dawns, and hope is reborn once more
The drums beat loud, the agogo sings
In the land of my fathers, my heart takes wings
The aroma of jollof rice fills the air
As suya vendors tend their fires with care
The vibrant colors of adire and batik shine bright
In this land of beauty, my spirit takes flight
From the hills of the east to the savannas of the north
Nigeria, my home, my heart beats for thee, my love and my world
