1. For this country in Africa, it's a big pity!

So big, so rich, wrapped in impunity with no security.

 

2. Nothing to show for its huge wealth

    But sadly, its also burdened with a huge debt.

 

1. Poverty a Lord in that blessed land

Leaders shameless, corruption live in every hand.

 

1. Ephemerals worshipped, the mundane adored

Trifling issues, ever commended! serious things always abhorred

 

1. In that drowsy country, First Wives’ office, a ministry

Poor workers' salaries, a puzzling sad story

 

6. Leaders' entourage long like a mile, gulps Naira in millions Citizens walk miles to seek bread in the perilous corners in all the regions.

 

1. Everyday, citizens ply dangerous and rough roads and highways, and cry

        Leaders dine and wine and revel in planes in the sky

 

8. There, justice bows before the high, the mighty, and the rich For the poor, it knocks them heavy on the head for even a miner breach.
