Arise! Oh! compatriots from slumber.
Unite against riots and bring order.
In our land evil plunders,
Hand of murders.
Thin leaders,
With large and selfish appetite.
Coming In servant disguise,
With words that entice.
Our ignorance the price.
Our nation ruled in lies.
Arise! Oh! compatriots,
In defence of the labour of our heroes past
Upholding the victory till the last
The tales past we were told
Her green and white flag we will forever uphold.
A better Nigeria our goal
Posterity will design our names in gold
Our conscience with few nairas will never be sold
Like awolowo our stories will be told
In love and strength we will be bold.
As we serve our fatherland.
