Our fathers went through slavery in the hands of those lions.
Our mothers, their wives, were usurped by the foxes.
They came with the bible and the bomb.
They led them to work their plantation in the new world.
After sapping more than enough, they left in 'sixty.
They led them to work their plantation in the new world.

The civil war imploded- we saw it.
Some eastern earth was scorched.
Many fell into a long last sleep.
We've seen all the crises- some, with their lives
Everyone embezzles all they can.
The congregation of haram threatens to tear the green white green.

The New World gives a 2015-ultimatum
Despite, she is 54.
She will wax stronger, I know
She will take over Africa, I believe
She will be a G8 someday, we pray.

Do all you can to celebrate
It's your day, you have no other demonym
Let the cigarette sticks be green white green
Let the bottles be green
Let the apples be green
Let the stew be green
Let the beef be green
Let the beans be green
Yes, green earth
Happy October 1
Happy birthday Nigeria!
