Lyrics
Description
(Intro)
Eh eh eh... Oh Nigeria...
Make we talk true today...
Yeah yeah...
[Verse 1]
People dey fear to waka for road,
Farmers no fit go farm for bush.
Mama dey pray make pikin come back,
Every night we dey hear bad news.
North to South, East to West,
Everybody dey search small rest.
We hold land, we hold oil,
But calm slip through fingers like soil.
[Pre-Chorus]
How long we go cry?
How long we go hide?
We dey hope for better days,
Make all the pain just fade away.
[Chorus]
Insecurity for Nigeria,
People dey pray for better year.
Make peace stand from Lagos reach Maiduguri,
Make love shine through all the misery.
Oh Nigeria, hold your ground,
Rain or shine, no breaking down.
If we hold hand, work as one,
Brighter days no go be long gone.
[Verse 2]
Youth dey chase dreams from morning till night,
Wishing for a sky clear, future bright.
Leaders hear those silent cries,
Bring justice back, make fear say goodbye.
Children dey learn, tee-shirt and shoes,
Without worry say danger go bruise.
Let the nation wake and rise,
Cleanse the wounds, clear the skies.
[Bridge]
One voice, one heartbeat strong,
Together we fit right the wrong.
No more shadows, no more chains,
Let hope and peace flood the plains.
[Chorus]
Insecurity for Nigeria,
People dey pray for better year.
Make peace stand from Lagos reach Maiduguri,
Make love shine through all the misery.
Oh Nigeria, hold your ground,
Rain or shine, no breaking down.
If we hold hand, work as one,
Brighter days no go be long gone.
[Outro]
Eh eh eh... Nigeria go rise again...
Peace go plant, roots deep then...
Better mornings, clear sky ahead...
One love, one nation, Na we get am...
Nigeria... Nigeria...
