The Bleeding Nation Poem by Abel Efemini

Yes, we came from the north, the south, the west and the east
To stand as one nation with the one voice
From different tribes and tongues
Under the umbrella of peace
To meet and get knowledge as a better nation
Nigeria, richly blessed with natural resources
Land fertile for agriculture
Immersed with crude oil, gold and many more
Coated in the 36 state of 3 major ethnic group
In togetherness, peace, unity and love
Captured in Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba
Engaged her other African nation and emerge the African giant
Oh, my beautiful country
My father's land
Known for great strength and love to her neighbors
Why has she broken the eggs of peace?
And spilled the yolk of violence?
Why has she interrupted peace and unity she stood for?
Why has she ignored her excellence?
And chose weapons of war instead of peace against her brothers?
Forgetting the joy she shared to stand in October 1st 1960
She took an oath of love
She was mapped for unity
She invested for peace
Bound under one rule, one law and one government
We are together
We should be together
oh, my country NIGERIA
Together we stand as one
