Why Nigeria? Poem by Ehimika Ehimigbai
Why Nigeria?
Shall we continue like this?
In uncertainty and wants?
With insecurity, our woes?
When there is something to do?
Lets tell ourselves we are able
to build a country that is stable,
Above any fear and fable,
cos from courage comes conquest.
Lets remind ourselves of the past,
During civil wars with the fight;
How we almost died fast,
Rejuvenated I believe not for bomb blast
Certainly to build, to last.
Why Nigeria?
Why now when we're Africa's hope?
With our great prospect
About to fly in the horizon.
Lets say no to terrorism
And believe in our great diversity,
We can make it all in unixism
Forever together, Nigeria will be.

Besides Nigeria, this reflects to most of the African countries. Thank you for sharing Ehimika. I loved the lines below; Lets remind ourselves of the past, During civil wars with the fight; How we almost died fast, Rejuvenated I believe not for bomb blast Certainly to build, to last.
