Nigeria my country
Drowning in a pool of her blood
Spilled by her children
Nigeria, my country
Moving in a cycle
A cycle of greed and corruption
A cycle the races towards destruction
Nigeria, my beloved people
A people that thirst, a people that hunger
A people that now rise from their slumber
That long, deep and dangerous slumber
A people that say enough is enough! !
A people that shout change like thunder! !
A people that stump their feet and say no longer! !
A people that now say No! !
To corrupt leaders
Say No! ! to incompetent leaders
No! ! to imposed leaders
No! ! to corruption
No! ! to mediocrity
No! ! to sycophancy
No! ! to tribalism
No! ! to religious bigotry
No! ! to inverse democracy
And say No to business as usual
Yes! ! Nigerian my people
A people that say No more.
