Nigeria Nigeria the lovely father of tribes
Where unity and peace struggles along
Rooming the corridor of wealth with words
Power and mighty are your waist bound
You’re quite an old young man
Have you gotten all it takes to be 53?
Or have you sanitize you house and dust off your pride?
Are you hiding your head while your leg stretches outside?
Nigeria the great one of Africa
Glorious are your promises
Why its fulfillment glooms
Powers are your words and arthritis holds your actions
Are you arising oh compatriot Nigeria
At 53 you’re still carrying umbilical cord
Sucking from the nipples breast
Crawling with thy kneels why thy word aloud
I cry for Nigeria but I weep not
Looking at his face but beholdeth nothing
Age is just a number they said
Nigeria at 53 has time grow as the said
Great Nigeria at 53
Dancing and jubilations in emptiness
Darkness and violence surrounds your throne
Bloodshed and killings breaks your day
Are you dead or alive at 53 oh Nija
Where thy children has no food
Nor water neither light to see.
Unemployment among the youths crowns it all
Arise oh great Nigeria
From dullness, laziness and to fulfilment
Creation of job and eradication of fraud
Among the people in power as we celebrate Nija at 53
