Nigeria, Our Motherland

Nigeria, we hail thee, Our own dear native land! Though tribe and

tongue may differ, In brotherhood we stand: Nigerians all! And proud to

serve Our sovereign Motherland. Our flag shall be a symbol That truth and

justice reign, In peace or battle honored, And this we count as gain

To hand on to our children A banner without stain.

O God of all creation, Grant this our one request: Help us to

build a nation Where no man is oppressed; And so, with peace and

plenty, Nigeria, may thee bless!
