NIGERIA ARISE! THERE IS HOPE

Green white green is Nigeria

The giant of Africa

Our people are all over

God bless our home and culture

 

Green spells the gift of nature

White tells the world we are peaceful

Our flag us wealth and freedom

From foreign lands and kingdoms.

 

Behold our flowing rivers

Visit kanji and Niger

They splash with victory as they unite to travel.

 

Oh! Our maker, hear Nigeria, her sons and daughters

The war has broken from within our borders

The love that has kept us firmly together is falling away like an old birds feathers.

White we stand at akimbo in pride and hate and watch, waste away, our common fate.

 

Nigeria my country drowning in the pool of her blood

Spilled by her children moving in a circle

A cycle of greed and corruption

A cycle the races towards destruction

 

Nigeria my beloved people, a people that thirsts, a people that hunger

Awaken the strength of our finding fathers; it is born in us, our inheritance

The times are passing, by seasons and weathers

Our hope is not in place of governance.

 

The youths they refused to give the way

The old have refused to take a rest

Though their brains does not contend the current test

Everywhere is in confusion.

 

The leaders are in contradiction

Masses continually killed like sheep

Corruption, nepotism the watch wards

Let’s fight to salvage her.

 

 

THE TRANSFORMING POWER OF EDUCATION

Education is the key to success

Education is the gold mine that will never run out of gold

Education is the most powerful weapon which we can use to change the world

Education is the ability to change lives, poverty, and inequality discrimination.

 

Education improves socio-economic status and foster personal growth

Education promote self-talented skills social mobility

Drive social change empower community

Brightens the future for generation yet unborn.

 

Transforming power of education

Is unlocking individual potentials

Enrichment and civic engagement

Leading to equitable prosperous world.
