Nigeria: A Nation Conceived In Pains

Nigeria;

A nation conceived in pains

Contrive in deceit

Contrapt for pecuniary gains

Consign to servitude

Oh Nigeria

 

A nation with many contrasts

Construct on a false foundation

Contends perpetually with itself

Corrupt with impunity  

Oh Nigeria

 

A nation comprised of the best

Compose of variant richness

Conserve for a few

Constraint to succeed

Oh Nigeria

 

A nation combating unending bigotry

Conscripted to  religiosity

Control by ethnic jingoists

Compare to nothing

Oh Nigeria

 

A nation that contradicts itself

Confines her potentials

Continue to hold back

Conditions to fail

Oh Nigeria

 

A nation left behind by contemporaries

Consume not what it produces

Confuse with what it is not

Colonialist’s last vestige

Oh Nigeria

 

How we shamelessly concede

Come to agree there was a country

Compatriot, there was truly a country

Compel and propel to extinction

Country yet born

Oh come whence from ashes of Nigeria
