NIGERIA ARISE! THERE IS HOPE

Nigeria arise, awake from thy slumber

Your strength and power is in dignity of democracy

Do not ponder on your mental injury

Let you spirit fly high there is hope

Because your future is bright

And you know way out of the raw pain of suffering in plenty.

 

Nigeria arise, from the face of smothering economy

Renew thy strength like an eagle

The bad dogs are gone

Shed thy old skin and show forth thy new color

Because a new era brings a bright

and a new beginning.

Nigeria arise, from a senseless and stifling system

Nigeria a new era is coming

An era where dreams

And hope will come, sincerity and dignity of labor

And era with a future, to greet with surplus and abundance

A rhythm so sweet to dance to

Oh; Nigeria my country!

 

Nigeria arise, there is hope

A growing nation must not slumber

Shake off all shackles of blame and cowardice

And embrace wisdom for absolute growth

Your prosperity is in your transparency

You can be there, only be strong in your vast disparities

 

Nigeria arise, from escalating corruption

A new Nigeria is arising as a star in the moon

Of both old and young

People that will illuminate

Our paths to greatness are waiting to be crowned

Nigeria arise for your time is now

For future and hope is born

In this great land of milk and honey.

 

 

THE TRANSFORMING POWER OF EDUCATION

A force with mighty power

A force that can unleash and transform higher

Education needs to be a transformer

In order to break the chains of ignorance who is a deformer

The chain that has taken hold

Keeping us in bondage cold

 

Through education power lens

We can rise and shine with pens

Above all possibilities

From our crippled abilities

The future of our proven vibrancy

Depends solely on the grip of her resonance

 

Let’s empower our minds to embrace growth

And ignite the drive to learn sooth

To grow, to make a change we need her

And transform our world with this seer

It’s a gift, a treasure a lifelong friend

In which we all must tend to the end

 

Oh; transformation thrive in our togetherness

And strive in our wholesome ruggedness

And ignite yet the drive to learn

When we see it as a key to grow among men

To bridge the gaps and open new doors

To unlock the chains of ignorance shores.

 

How do we change our world?

How do we impact our world?

How do we leave legacy for the unborn?

Only through our records of invention born

This only gotten in learning bond.
