Beneath Nigeria's skies, rivers carve their way,
A tapestry of life, in their gentle sway.
The Niger's embrace, a nation's heart, Its currents weave tales, never to depart.
In the Niger Delta's intricate design, Life blossoms,
A treasure divine. Mangroves whisper.
Their roots deep and strong, An ecosystem's symphony,
Through Nigeria's lands,A lifelong song,
Ogun and Benue, With stories untold,
Their journeys unfold. Waterfalls cascade,
in nature's grandeur.
A source of pride, an eternal allure.
Lagos lagoons, where cultures entwine,
Reflecting traditions, a heritage fine.
Nigeria's waters, in a rhythmic dance.
From Ondo's hot springs to Chad's expanse,
In Ibadan's streams, laughter resounds, Children play, in joyful bounds.
Osun's sacred river, a pilgrimage's call,
A spiritual journey, embracing all.
From ancient lore to modern days, Nigeria's waters, in myriad ways, Bind the land, its people, and dreams.
A tapestry woven by flowing streams.
In Yankari's pools, where wonders lie,
Warm springs beckon, under the sky.
Nature's spa, in Bauchi's domain,
A healing embrace, a soothing refrain.
Ondo's Idanre Hills, where waterfalls dive,
A majestic spectacle, keeping spirits alive.
Erejuwa's cascades, a majestic sight, Energizing souls, with sheer delight.
Nigeria's essence,In Delta's embrace,
Fishermen row, Amidst reeds and canoes, stories aglow.
The rhythm of life, in the waters they ply,
in rivers nearby.
Nigeria's waters,their beauty soars from Jebba's dam to Lekki's shores,
A lifeline, a blessing, cherished and pure,
Flowing through history, steadfast and sure.
In Lagos' bustling city, with its pulse so grand, Lagoon's gentle tides, a tranquil strand.
In the heart of Nigeria, waters unite,
A nation's spirit, in their eternal flight.
