In the heart of Africa, a nation stands tall,
With vibrant colors, a story to recall.
Nigeria, land of diverse embrace,
A tapestry woven, a rich, warm place.

From the hills of Jos to the shores of Lagos,
A chorus of voices, united, we grow.
In the echoes of history, our spirits ignite,
For freedom and justice, we stand up to fight.

October first, a day to remember,
A spark of our freedom, a glowing ember.
From colonial shadows, we broke every chain,
With courage and strength, we rose once again.

The rivers flow deep, like our hopes and dreams,
Through valleys and towns, our unity beams.
With cultures entwined, in harmony we sing,
A nation of promise, together we bring.

Our heroes of old, who paved the way,
With sacrifices made, they showed us the way.
From Nnamdi Azikiwe to the brave unknown,
Their legacies linger, their courage has grown.

In the face of challenges, we stand side by side,
With faith in our hearts, and our arms open wide.
Even with the economy’s downturn , we rise and we strive,
In the spirit of freedom, we truly thrive.

The laughter of children, the wisdom of age,
Together we write a new chapter, a new page.
With hope in our hearts and a vision so clear,
We march towards progress, with nothing to fear.

So let us unite, in this beautiful land,
With love as our guide, together we stand.
For Nigeria's future, bright and profound,
In the spirit of independence, our voices resound.

Through the storms we have weathered, the battles we've fought,
A nation reborn, with the lessons we've taught.
In every heartbeat, in every proud stance,
We celebrate freedom, and our glorious chance.

From the north to the south, from the east to the west,
In unity we flourish, in diversity, blessed.
With dreams intertwined, like the roots of a tree,
In the heart of Nigeria, forever we'll be.

Happy independence 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
