The Nigeria We Deserve 1 Poem by John Chizoba Vincent

We standby singing holy, holy,
Like a priest in a morning mass.
Our passions for our beloved country'
Welfare stands unshaken like the
Mountain in the forest of righteousness.
We would not slack but stand uprightly
To defend and die for the course of our country.

We deserve a home not a forest,
Where wild beast tear our pride and
love for our beloved fatherland.
We deserve a true Nigeria that
Accommodation both poor and the rich.
We are to Nigeria, what an eaglet is to eagle
Whose supplications and obedience are to the mother.

We deserve peace and not commotion.
Thousands had been slayed and Nigeria wept,
Souls hiding in fear which they deserve not.
We deserve protection not exposeure
To the harsh weather of terrorism.
Our core value is love not hatred.
We deserve a debt free nation.

The Nigeria we deserve is of greatness,
A home free from beribery and corruption.
A nation with good road network, social amenities
Who doesn't decieve the masses righteously.
We deserve freedom not hostility,
We deserve equality between the rich and the poor.

We deserve to work in unity
Not to look up to the government for entittlement
We are greater and mightier than the government.
We deserve good educational institutions.
We deserve a fertile land where blood of the
Innocent have not be spilled all around.
We deserve a new Nigeria, a greater home.


Arise! arise! ! arise! ! ! Man up all sons and daughters
Take your place, be enthroned for the future.
My song boast for Nigeria, my fatherland.
Take charge and dominate for change has come.
Posterity would smile to us days to come
For here we are, we are here for all of us.
Never allow the moth on your brother's eyes
Remain since you have successfully removed yours.
