A land with about 250 ethnic groups
Rich in cultural diversity and heritage
With individuals who inhabit a territory
Of its own who worked and lived for several
Decades together in oneness
Until aliens invaded her peaceful co-existence
Took advantage of her ignorance and enslaved her land
Coerce labor became the rules of each day
I died! I struggled! I cried! I screamed! I thought! Oh Freedom...
Freedom was all I needed to be free! ! !
And I can't price it worth due to my vulnerability
How do I live what I have no glimpse of hope in?
But if freedom is worth dying for, then I will fight!
Alas! They came, they saw but I conquer them all
I was unwavering, unflinching and undefeated! Though,
I was beaten, bruised, battered, burdened but I am blessed
I am the definition of freedom
I am exceptionally intelligent, ready to inspire all nations
I am the future of my people
I am the smile on my children faces, the reality of dreams
I am the hope of the present and the future world
I am the face and the strides of Africa
My beginning is green
My white shines in its splendor between
And my end is richly green
I am Green White Green
I am Nigeria! ! !

Great poem. It reflects the commitment of countries which were once made to suffered under colonial yoke. Now that has all been a part of history. Self-rule will bring the much needed relief and prosperity to the people. Thanks. But if freedom is worth dying for, then I will fight! I am the hope of the present and the future world
