Analysis of The state of the Nation.
Taiwo Abdulmujeeb Omo Èkun 1998 (Osun state)
The state of the Nation
A state without a vision
Where everybody has lost hope for a confusion
Where everybody is living in delusion
Hoping to have a visionary leaders with mission
That will reverse the lost unity in fusion
I remembered when our heroes was fighting for the freedom of a Nation
Their mission was to fight for the freedom of all Nations not a Nation
Their mission was the same with their vision
We have lost the glory of one_Nation for the separation
In which some Nations agitating for the separation
They alleged of marginalisation of their Nation
Where is the marginalisation?
Allegation that's watery and baseless, established to cause a confusion
Unity is the pillar of a Nation
Everybody has a role to play in this Nation
We must come to the round table to look into our confusion
So that we can have a country to proud of for the coming generation
God bless my country, Nigeria.
