I pledge to Nigeria my country

To be faithful,

Loyal,

And honest,

Lemme refix that,

I pledge to Nigeria my country,

But does my country pledge to me,

Wait a minute,

I'd be loyal

Faithful

Honest

Just to be treated unjustly?

Nigeria my country,

We hail thee,

A country once filled with smiles

Is now filled with cries

64th independence day,

But we are still dependent?

Nigeria, my country,

Japa syndrome affecting professionals

People are struggling to survive

Survival of the fittest

A poor man's food,

Is now too expensive?

Nigeria, my country,

I pledge to be honest,

But to be honest,

You're not quite honest

It's supposed to be both ways,

Feels like a one-sided honesty,

The tears,

The blood,

The pain,

The death,

The sweat,

Is that really what honesty is about?

All ignored,

Just for your gain?

Na cruise dey sustain everything,

Just to console ourselves

Nigeria my country

Happy Independence Day 🇳🇬
