We had a nation forged in Unity
And on our ancestors’ sacred Faith
That unity and faith procure Peace
And assure a nation’s Progress
Unity independent of our diversities
Faith in our willingness to embrace
Peace as a nation of people who love
Progress and human development
But the symbols of our national unity
Have been mowed down on bad faith
By a pack of hyenas, enemies of peace
Who have vowed to hamper our progress
Unity and progress they loathe with alacrity
Faith and peace they destroy in its entirety
This group of fossilized Generals in civil attire
Who with awe, our nation’s death conspire
Ours was a nation strong as fairy horses
Mightier and endearing as a golden eagle
She started progressing with all her forces
Connecting all spheres of life like Google
Before these cabals took us all in hostage
Directing our nation like an affair of a village
Killing and maiming those who raise their voices
But one day revolution might be among our choices
For these Generals are our real problems
Manipulating religious fanatics and hoodlums
And embanking on chronic ethnic bias for disunity
Using the military to trample on us in all impunity
Still I remember that Nigeria was indeed a nation
Built and passed on to us by our ancestors
Expecting us to keep for the next generation
But today, she is in the hands of impostors
