ARISE NIGERIA:
Arise Nigeria
for your time has come to shine that the world will see because for so long
your place been dignified only by her size
Arise Nigeria
for your time has come that nations will call you not only blessed but the best
where riches and honor abound
Arise Nigeria
for your time has come to lead Africa out of the dark identity and backward
penchant we all were sold into
Arise Nigeria
for your time to sneeze and the world catches cold has come and your people
shall be celebrated across continents
Arise Nigeria
for your time has come when it will no longer be the stories and lamentations
of brain drain but brain rain here
Arise Nigeria
for your time has come to rise above the prejudices of myopic stigmatization
and prove our true selves to the world
Arise Nigeria
for your time has come when appointees in government no longer determine the
fate of the majority
Arise Nigeria
for your time has come to become the architects of our own future and create a
better world for the next generation
Arise Nigeria
for your time has come to tread on the thorns and briers of tribalism and
religion without fear or doubt
Arise Nigeria
for your time has come when your will no longer kill and consume your children
but grant them succor
Arise Nigeria
for your time has come to turn your forests and fields into factories and
industries of progress and development
Arise Nigeria
for your time has come to stop begging for aid and being at the mercy of
extortionists
Arise Nigeria
for your time has come to be judged not by your challenges today but the impossibilities
that confronted our patriarchs telling them our independence would not stand
the test of time. Let us prove them wrong
Arise Nigeria
for your time has come to remember the strength and courage of Nnamdi Azikiwe,
Tafawa Balewa, Obafemi Awolowo and the likes who died for a future that is not
today
Arise Nigeria
for your time has come to put corrupt and wicked saboteurs in our polity at the
guillotine
Arise Nigeria
for your time has come to live as we say “to serve Nigeria with all my strength
and defend her unity”
Arise Nigeria
for your time is not in 2020 but now
It is time not only mere words be uttered but
fearlessness and courage should be seen in our eyes by those who lay siege against
us
It is time to rise and stand firm until those who
raid the treasury and barns of our future restore seven times what was stolen
Rise up my Nigeria, let your spirit awake
Let your lands, trees, rivers and allies rise to
demand retribution
For this is our time
Nigeria is unstoppable
