OH NIGERIA, I WISH I COULD HAIL THEE
Nigeria, I wish I could hail thee,
A land of riches, vast and free,
Oil and soil, wealth untold,
Yet the people's dreams grow cold.

Beneath the sun, the rivers gleam,
A nation's promise, a golden dream,
But in the shadows, cries are heard,
The hopes of many go unheard.

Majestic forests, sprawling plains,
A heritage that proudly reigns,
But hunger lingers, hardship stays,
The future fades in daily strays.

Oh, Nigeria, strong and bright,
Why must your children face this plight?
A land so blessed, yet so betrayed,
Where truth and justice seem delayed.

I wish to see your glory rise,
To match the beauty in our eyes
A land where all can stand and say,
Nigeria shines in every way.
Oh Nigeria, I wish I could hail thee, I love Nigeria and desire to see her whole again.
