Great Nation Poem by Ikenna Omeje
Great Nation
Nigeria! The glory, the sound, the beauty, the knowledge reservoir. the treasure base of Africa and the future.
You have been buffeted by war, militancy, terrorism and corruption.
Yet, you did not die
Because your creator created you for a special purpose.
Your head is bruised
Your spine is broken
Many believe that you can't walk again.
But your healing is here
The people have refused the doctor's report
Because the creator never lies.
Nigeria rise! Nigeria rise!
Is what is on the lips of every man, woman and child on the street of Enugu, Kano and Lagos.
We believe that you can still walk
Not just walk, but run and possibly fly.
Rise and thrust through the lions and hawk
Rise above the sharks and crocodiles
Stand your ground and silence the voices of your enemies.
Many think that your multi- linguistic nature
Will not allow you to go far
But they are wrong
Because that is your strength.
The poet explores both the human and natural resources that the country has and expresses hope that the country will rise again, despite all her challenges.
The mood of the poet is full of optimism.
