Nigeria-The Land Of Honour (Ile-Iyi, Ile-Eye) . Poem by GOODLUCK ETSEREFE

NIGERIA - The Land of Honour (ile-iyi, ile-eye) .
Her water runs like the blood in human veins.
The view of it, brings nothing other than, beautiful waterfalls.
Waterfalls….. that sounds like a heavy downpour.
Evergreen rainforest feast verily around her south coast,
spreading their leaves like the beef in a fresh toast.
Not forgetting, is the high line of her savannah;
whose temperature is always warm.
Motherland ………………Nigeria.
No wonder they refer to you as the giant of Africa.

Have you seen the richness of her cultural heritage?
The tip-toe displayed in varying festivity?
The tones are so mild. So mild that you wish you could go wild.
How can you outshine her rhythms and vibes?
The multi-lingua ethnic groups and tribes?
Yes… they are diverse but still common in reverse.
Motherland …… Nigeria,
Ile-iyi, ile-eye……
