Nigeria
<p>Nigeria Wears Many Names</p><p><br/></p><p>Nigeria is not just a country on a map.</p><p>She is Mama calling us home before sunset.</p><p>She is the aroma of jollof rice filling the compound.</p><p>She is Father's laughter beneath the mango tree.</p><p>She is the talking drum speaking without a tongue.</p><p>She is the colourful wrappers dancing in the market breeze.</p><p>She is the rich taste of pounded yam shared with love.</p><p>She is the stories Grandma tells when darkness embraces the village.</p><p>She is the courage hidden in every farmer's cracked hands.</p><p>She is the fisherman singing to the river before dawn.</p><p>She is the tailor turning simple fabric into pride.</p><p>She is the Hausa greeting, "Sannu," offered with warmth.</p><p>She is the Yoruba saying, "Ẹ kú iṣẹ́,"oo honouring hard work</p><p>She is the Igbo spirit that refuses to surrender.</p><p>She is children chasing football with barefoot dreams.</p><p>She is the bride adorned in coral beads and joyful smiles.</p><p>She is the groom dancing until the dust joins the celebration.</p><p>She is the market woman who knows every customer's name.</p><p>She is the mosque and the church standing beneath the same sky.</p><p>She is the village square echoing with songs and prayers.</p><p>She is the masquerade reminding us where we came from.</p><p>She is the festivals that colour ordinary days with wonder.</p><p>She is respect given freely to elders with bowed heads.</p><p>She is neighbours sharing food without counting the plates.</p><p>She is unity whispered through hundreds of languages.</p><p>She is hope stitched into every sunrise.</p><p>She is strength hidden inside every hardship.</p><p>She is our laughter after every storm.</p><p>She is our beautiful home, imperfect yet unforgettable.</p><p>And wherever we wander, Nigeria forever beats inside our hearts.</p><p><br/></p><p>Nigeria </p>
