Mera ek day(my one day)

In the western part of a great continent Africa,
There is a country called Nigeria.
A land with so many cultures
With beautiful landscape,so many wonders.
Hausa,Igbo,yoruba and many more,
Unique from other countries,we are still one by law.
Oh my Nigeria, I covet for a day we will put our differences aside and be a team.
it's not something impossible,it's not a dream.
Our heroes didn't fight and die in vain
They tried in cleaning the drip of blood stain.

We are one,
We are great
Together we are strong,divided we are weak.

I want a country that the dominants wouldn't bully the recessive.
Throwing bashing comments and maltreatment that is excessive.
We were given independence in the 1960s,
Since then we kept having problems like a colony of buzzing zzzz bees,
Or is it that we can't see
That we are of the same skin colour,
With different descendants of magnificent valour.
I crave for an abode where a stranger that's Fulani.
Can settle peacefully with nupe,igbira and the tiv's
Oh my Nigeria, I covet for a day will put our differences aside and feel the vibes
We were blessed with resilience so we can face any tide

We are one.
We are great
Together we stand tall but divided we all fall.
