Nigeria has forgotten His Maker; it has forgotten His Creator, the One who set it by the Atlantic
and gave it plenty like a land flowing with Milk and Honey.
Its people
have walked in their own laws and have forgotten the Law of God. They have made
for themselves, gods, they have chosen kings according to their own heart and
rulers and princes. Its Judges have made a bed with corruption and taken a
bribe and Who shall hear it?
Its princes
walk the streets while Its servants ride on horses and inhabit the palaces and
Who can tell it for the labour of the fool tendeth to penury. The rulers have
plundered the Land and sold their commonwealth unto Foreign Lands, even the best
of its people have they sold for nought and have been silenced.
They have
made their oppressors princes, the dishonest men as their rulers, they have
forgotten the poor and the needy, the oppressed, they have sown corruption and
continue to reap thorns and thistles. The people have lost their sight, they do
not know right from left, wrong from right, truth from deception, their folly
hath blinded their eyes and poverty and mediocrity sleep in their chambers.
Let its people
remember the Laws of God, the sayings of their Heroes Past, their Fathers,
their Mothers and Ancestors hidden its folklore spoken like myths and legends.
Let everyman
remember his neighbour, Let the proud and arrogant princes be brought down, Let
the oppressor remember the oppressed, Let Righteousness, Peace and Justice Rule
its Land. Let corruption receive Judgement, Let its Leaders and Its people see
their folly. Let them repeal their laws and Enact the Laws of God. Let the cry
of the poor and needy be heard in the Throne Room.
Let its Princes
rise to the Throne and its servants serve with Fear and Trembling.
Who hath
fooled you O Nigeria
Shall not
the Judge of All the Earth do Right?
Righteousness
Exalts a Nation and Sin is Continually a Reproach to any Nation.
It is Time.
Let us go from hence.
