Today I woke thinking about a lot of issues that hinge on Nigeria, and her dream. Having read the promises made by her founding fathers, presidents year in year out, full of promises, promises hopes and aspiration. But while coming to a resolution before i write, i would like us to look again at the old national anthem of Nigeria, though written by a white man, carries a lot of wisdom…;
“Nigeria we hail thee,
Our own dear native land,
Though tribe and tongue may differ,
in brotherhood we stand.
Nigerians and all proud to serve,
Our sovereign Motherland.
Our flag shall be a symbol,
That truth and justice reign,
In peace and battle honor’d
And these we count as gain.
To hand unto our children,
a banner without stain”.
